Stephan:   Recently you probably saw a lot of stories about how organic food was no more nutritious than food raised with chemicals. I did not run it because I thought there was something bogus about it. For one thing organic food is better for you simply because it doesn't have any chemical residue. Now, as often happens, a different truth is emerging. I consider the report you are about to read unduly polemic, and it only provisionally makes its case. I have chosen to run it because I think the study it criticizes may be another example of the corrupting influence that is occurring in science. I have run other pieces, indeed, wrote an essay about the toxic consequences of the pharmaceutical industry embracing medicine. If this report is correct, the study will be a demonstration of the same disinformation techniques that we can see at work in climate change denierism, tobacco propaganda, and creationism.
