Organic=Low Calorie?

Do you think organic food means that the food is lower calorie than the standard version? An article in the journal Judgment and Decision Making concluded that many people believe that it is. Unfortunately, just because a food is labeled as organic does not mean that it has less sugar, fat or calories than any other food. The study concluded that people may be more likely to overeat foods labeled as organic, and perceived the organic foods as being healthier. This is a reminder of why reading nutrition information labels and ingredient lists is so important. While a food may be free of pesticides and chemical fertilizers, this does not change the nutritional value of the food.
