Organic Snacks Aren't Healthier Than Junk Food As our society becomes more health-conscious, more consumers are opting for organic foods. This includes organic versions of popular junk foods. But are the organic versions of junk foods really better <br />for you? Science says no. Although organic junk foods won't contain unnatural colorings, flavoring or genetically modified ingredients they are identical, nutrition-wise, to their conventional counterparts. They may also contain refined sugar and starches. Processed organic snacks are still processed, after all. Frank Hu, Professor of nutrition and epidemiology, Harvard University
