Organic food 'better' for heart

This might qualify as the "duh" story of the decade, but as it turns out, there isn't a lot of scientific study around organic foods yet. Interesting nonetheless:

A ten-year study comparing organic tomatoes with standard produce found almost double the level of flavonoids - a type of antioxidant.

Flavonoids have been shown to reduce high blood pressure, lowering the risk of heart disease and stroke.

Writing in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, the team said nitrogen in the soil may be the key.

Or maybe its the lack of chemical fertilizer. That's where my money is.
