Because articles written by PR teams, published under academics' names, are not science at all,

They are as much of a science paper as article written by government employees psuhing a pro-government agenda

Seriously, like I haven't heard that a million times from naturopathic fools that can't quite come to grips with the fact that "organic" is a marketing buzzword, that it is still big business, and can't take their granola blinders off long enough to see their own hypocrisy.

Try coming up with something original next time, okay?

I pointed out something glaringly obvious that you apparently don't like. However, reality doesn't change based on your preferences.

So?

yeah, it's always good to get independent scientists to shill for you. Did you miss the articles from a few weeks ago about the "scientist" they were paying to shill for them?

“'If you spend enough time with skunks, you start to smell like one,' said Charles M. Benbrook, who until recently held a post at Washington State University. The organic foods industry funded his research there and paid for his trips to Washington, where he helped lobby for labels on foods with genetically modified ingredients."

They do it on both sides. It's right there in the article if you would take the time to read more than just the parts that you agree with.

The difference being, he wasn't trying to proclaim that organic food was going to save the world through the use of extra herbicides

Nice straw man, but of course not. The organic food industry has their own set of lies to push.
