“…In the present study, cadmium was not detected in plasma, nor was lead or uranium. Marchioni et al showed that the content of cadmium and lead in coffee was influenced by temperature and mass, respectively, but not by the type of crop [49]. Although uranium is used more in conventional than in organic agriculture [50,51], a higher uranium content was not evidenced in conventional produce [52].…”

Consumption of organic products is increasing yearly due to perceived health-promoting qualities. Several studies have shown higher amounts of phytochemicals such as polyphenols and carotenoids in foods produced by this type of agriculture than in conventional foods, but whether this increase has an impact on humans still needs to be assessed. A randomized, controlled and crossover study was carried out in nineteen healthy subjects aged 18–40 years, who all followed an organic and conventional healthy diet, both for a 4-week period. Analysis of biological samples revealed a significant increase on the excretion of 4-hydroxybenzoic acid (4-HBA), a phenolic metabolite with biological activity, after the organic intervention. However, no changes were observed in the other variables analyzed.
