Organic has less pesticides.

Less pesticides also means more bacteria and more bug poop. There is a reason why they use pesticides, after all.

Even if there are trace amounts of pesticides left, you can just wash the produce, which you should always do anyway. Same reason you wash the organic produce to get rid of bug stuff...

The trace amounts of bug poop or pesticides really makes no difference when it comes to your health.
