MISLEADING: Organic food is more nutritious than regular food

Reality: A comprehensive systematic review found no significant nutritional difference in about 42% of comparisons between organic and conventional food; roughly 29% did show some difference, mostly in antioxidant levels, not core nutrition. Organic food reliably has lower pesticide residue, but "more nutritious" oversells what the evidence actually supports.
