Résumé du texte en anglais:

This document is an article. It's entitled, Eating Organic Foods Linked to Lower Cancer Risk. It was published in the Newsweek, and adapted by Aristos Georgiou, on the 23rd of October 2018.

It's about the organic food we eat, which helps reduce the risk of cancer.

In first time, one study shows that organic foods reduce the risk of cancer. If this is the case, organic agriculture would be a preventive strategy against the disease, a team of researchers explains that pesticides encountered in agriculture have an impact on the human body.

Then organic food is produced without the use of synthetics, fertilizers, pesticides, genetically modified organisms and the use of veterinary medications. Organic foods are less likely to contain pesticide residues than conventional foods, Julia Baudry has done studies to show that an organic diet reduces exposure to certain pesticides. The route of exposure is through food, such as conventionally grown fruits and vegetables.

Finally, one person explained that organic food is expensive and may be inaccessible to some, and that eating fruits and vegetables is good, whether organic or not.

Now, I would like to comment on a few points, I agree with the consumption of organic fruit and vegetables, even if we have to spend a little more, because it can prevent us from getting cancer. But I still disagree with the high price because not everyone can consume them and have to eat pesticides that are not good for our bodies.  

To conclude eating organic fruits and vegetables to avoid cancer.

No I don't eat organic because I don't know what's really in it and my parents think it's too expensive. Maybe later on I will eat organic, when I buy my food myself and I would have been more informed, but I think it might be good for our health to eat organic, because all fruits and vegetables are full of pesticide.
