Short 8 min video gives a pretty fair summary of where most scientists land on the subjectm
Short answer: Not really, with one exception. They may have less pesticide residue which may positively impact your health (scientists are still unclear about that).
If you choose to eat organic where should you start (Claud AI)
The fruits and vegetables that benefit most from being organic are generally those where you eat the outer skin or where pesticide residues tend to be highest. Here's what to prioritize:
Highest priority for organic:
Strawberries, spinach, and leafy greens (kale, collards) consistently top the lists for pesticide residues
Apples, grapes, and peaches - thin skins that absorb more pesticides
Bell peppers, hot peppers, and cherry tomatoes
Celery - no protective skin and lots of surface area
Nectarines and pears
Medium priority:
Blueberries, raspberries, and other berries
Green beans and snap peas
Cucumbers (if eating skin)
Summer squash and zucchini
Less critical (lower pesticide residues):
Avocados, pineapples, and papayas - thick protective peels you don't eat
Sweet corn, cabbage, and onions - natural protective layers
Asparagus, eggplant, and cauliflower
Cantaloupe and honeydew (though wash outer skin well)
Sweet potatoes and regular potatoes (if peeling them)
