Organic consumers

Wow! That was a poor article mentioned. I was surprised enough that I did the simple search for the real data. As Firemanbuck stated, it is fake news. I went to the EWG directly. Since they are referenced as the source. I love when a source is listed and there's a link, but it doesn't take you to the source. For those too Googlely challenged...

The last is a revision where the author has to make an embarrassing correction. "Unfortunately I made an error in my data analysis and ended up overstating the frequency of residue detection on organic samples (I said 2.6/sample, its actually 0.75/sample)."

From the EWG in the first link

"People who eat organic produce eat fewer pesticides. A 2015 study by scientists at the University of Washington found that people who report they often or always buy organic produce had significantly lower quantities of organophosphate insecticides in their urine samples. This was true even though they reported eating 70 percent more servings of fruits and vegetables per day than adults who reported they rarely or never purchase organic produce.8" And that little 8 is the reference which is listed for anyone to read the actual research.
