Profiles of organic food consumers in a large sample of French adults: results from the Nutrinet-Santé cohort study.

<h4>Background</h4>Lifestyle, dietary patterns and nutritional status of organic food consumers have rarely been described, while interest for a sustainable diet is markedly increasing.<h4>Methods</h4>Consumer attitude and frequency of use of 18 organic products were assessed...
