Is buying organic really worth the extra money? In this clip from The Smart Human Podcast, Dr. Aly Cohen talks to Dr. William Li, who admits he used to be a skeptic of the organic movement—until the science changed his mind.

Dr. Li explains the fascinating "Wound Healing Response" in plants. When organic crops are exposed to natural stressors (like insects nibbling on their leaves), they produce higher levels of powerful defense chemicals called polyphenols. These are the exact same compounds that help humans fight cancer and lower inflammation.

In this video, you will learn:

🍎 The Pesticide Problem: Why you can't just "wash off" pesticides from conventional apples (and why peeling them removes the best nutrients).

🍓 The Strawberry Study: How insects make strawberries produce more Ellagic Acid, a compound that starves tumors and protects DNA.

🛡️ Plant Defense Systems: Why "pampered" pesticide-sprayed plants produce fewer nutrients than their organic counterparts.

❄️ Fresh vs. Frozen: The budget-friendly way to buy organic that doesn't compromise on nutrition.

🛒 Food Deserts: Dr. Li's experience finding healthy options across America, even in unexpected places.

Featured Topics: Organic Farming, Pesticides, Ellagic Acid, Polyphenols, Chlorogenic Acid, Food Access, and Plant-Based Nutrition.
