Go organic, now! A new study supports the claim that eating clean, organically grown pesticide free food cuts down your risk of getting cancer. According to a study published in JAMA Internal Medicine, a respected medical journal, those who eat mostly organic food have a 25 % lesser chance of getting cancer, specifically non-hodgkin lymphoma and post menopausal breast cancer.

The study is significant for a country like India where organically grown food is slowly making a comeback after years of damage resulting from over use of pesticides sparked by the Green Revolution. It is also significant considering the massive increase if lifestyle linked cancers.
