HEALTH FOODS VERSUS TRADITIONAL FOODS: A COMPARISON1

Abstract
Health and traditional foods ( 24 of each) were compared for proximate composition, cost, microbial content, pesticide levels, and polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) contamination. Only minor differences were detected for proximate composition and microbial content. No pesticides were detected but 7 samples of health and 3 of traditional foods contained PCBs. The major difference between the samples was the greater cost of the health foods.
