please don't jump all over me, it's just what i've heard and i'm sharing it with you.
But see the thing is, you can grow organic hydroponics and do a chemical soil grow. Hydroponics doesn't necessarily mean you'll be using crazy chemicals, although an organic hydroponic is harder.

Plus, no one but a scientist who does these experiments can really say whether it is more harmful or not, and even then many scientists are biased. I think we can all just assume that there's this degree of harm that you may be doing to your body.

Oh, and sorry if this seems like jumping on you. I'm just trying to follow up that thought process.
