The article mentions that the potatoes and beef were organic (I assume as in organic food):
> Carmody fed adult, male mice organic sweet potatoes
What is the significance of this?
- unreal37 14y agoI would assume the molecular makeup of food is modified by what you use to grow it. An organic potato might be smaller and more nutrient-dense than a chemically-grown one.
