> I also won't buy non-organic spices or teas. Turns out that a lot of non-organic spices - like cinnamon - have very high levels of lead, but the organic versions have much less, or none

This is hit or miss depending on the substance. E.g. organic chocolate has more lead than non-organic chocolate, on average.

The lead amount has more to do with the very specific place that a given crop is being grown, not so much to do with organic food or not.

If you use organic farming practices on top of soil that's got a lot of lead in it, the resulting food thing will have more lead in it

(in the case of spices, sometimes the lead is an additive, which is illegal regardless of whether it's organic)
