Default Is Organic Food unhealthy??

All News Web - China: Organic food declared deadly

This kinda freaked me out-what if it is true-we have gone totally organic, with what we give our two girls.

To be honest, I prefer the taste of organic food, and how it is grown etc. I think that if I am susceptible(?) to cancer I am going to get it whether I eat organic or eat too much red meat (another fad from a while back that supposedly gives you cancer.)
I would prefer to eat something that tastes good, and is filling.
My preference I guess. If we listened to everything we read we would be in trouble!
I live on a main road and the congestion from the traffic concerns me way more. If only I could live in a bubble! lol

This website doesn't ring true to me. It's shoddy (even the font says shoddy!) and has some fairly awful mistakes in it, for example: "The reports sites the obvious and well publicised decline...." instead of "The report cites...." Reputable journalism generally doesn't allow mistakes like this to creep in; they'd be checking their spelling and grammar along with their facts. If one isn't checked well I am always suspicious of the other.

Does anyone know who runs it? It seems sensationalist and there is very little information about the site itself. Also a lot of the news is old! I wouldn't be relying on any information from it unless you can source the study and read the references.

Sometimes I think maybe worrying about what gives us cancer (and many others) is what gives us cancer!
