Dive Summary:

• The American Academy of Pediatrics said in a new report that eating pesticide-free food hasn't been proven to be any healthier than conventionally-produced food.
• Dr. Janet Silverstein, the co-author of the report, calls the scientific evidence lacking between health problems in young children and the use of pesticides in fruits and vegetables, but calls for more tests and experiments.  
• The findings have implications for the average consumer as well, as organic foods are often more expensive than conventional foods, which, according to this study, may not be worth it.

Science hasn't proved that eating pesticide-free food makes people any healthier, the American Academy of Pediatrics said. ..."
