What are the health benefits of buying organic and local?

One of the biggest advantages of organic foods are that they have lots of health benefits. One study showed that organic foods have 10-50% more phytonutrients than conventional produce. They also, on average, contain more Vitamin C, Antioxidant, and minerals. If you eat organic food, you won't be eating pesticides which are known to cause disease, and you won't eat additives which have been known to cause hyperactivity in children.
