Interesting, but not surprising.  I am trying to remember how some of the 
measurements for organic vs inorganic food is done.   I seem to remember 
brix and baume but that is all that comes to mind.

And one has to wonder why kids these day seem to have so many diseases
that 
were rare when I was a child.  People of my age were relatively lucky 
because we were raised in an era when the production of food was organic,
or 
only beginning on the inorganic track.  Kids when I was young were 
considered to be rather defective if they had things like Asthma,
psoriasis, 
allergies etc, because they were incredibly rare.  Now they seem to be 
almost the norm rather than the exception.  Something has sure changed
since 
I was a kid.
