    Yes and more bacteria. More people die from bacteria in so-called organic food each year than all the people in the history of the world died of man-made pesticides.

        There is no evidence that anyone ever died because they ate food treated with pesticides - only statistical projections that have never been confirmed with actual evidence.

        On the other hand people die every year from e-coli and salmonella because of organic foods were either grown in manure or not rinsed with anti-bacterial chemicals. Not to mention the number of people who get sick and/or die from not pasteurizing milk. see http://www.cgfi.org/2002/06/the-hidden-d...

        I am not suggesting there should be a law against organic food or raw milk, but the fear of pesticides and chemical fertilizers is not rational.
