I eat organic or wild food as much as possible and that certainly has improved my cholesterol and liver enzyme results.

Fewer pesticides
No routine antibiotic dosing
No growth hormones
No added water eg in poultry, meat
No added synthesised vitamins unless required by law
No genetically-modified ingredients
No genetically-modified feed given to animals and poultry (allowed for non-organic food and used by major UK supermarkets, doesn't need to be labelled)
No added glucose syrup eg in meat
Higher welfare standards (better conditions = less disease in animals, birds)
Tighter controls from farm to store/delivery service
Not sprayed with chemicals to delay ripening/spoilage
Not irradiated

The University of Newcastle tracked a GM soya bean through the stomachs of volunteers and in the study one result was shown to be the mutation of bacteria in the stomach.

IMO it's not just the low fat high carb diet promoted as healthy since the 70s that is to blame for the diabetes epidemic, but also the increased industrialisation of farming and food manufacture. If biome is a contributory factor then I believe that these additives and pesticides must be a factor.
