UPI: Some organic food may be healthier
The international news wire service UPI has covered research carried out in the fruit fly lab of SMU biologist Johannes Bauer by Plano, Texas, high school student Ria Chhabra in its article "Some organic food may be healthier." Bauer mentored Chhabra in her research to examine whether there would be health differences to fruit flies fed an organic diet or a nonorganic diet. Chhabra's study found that flies fed an organic diet fared better on important health tests, particularly fertility and longevity.
