organics often use pesticides...just "organic" ones

The breakdown of pyrethrins occurs incredibly quickly in mammals, and therefore poses zero threat.

Additionally, most multivitamins also contain more sulfur and copper than the amounts that are leeched onto organic produce.

If that's essentially the extent of organic "pesticides", then I'll take organic pesticides any day of the week over conventional produce that's laced with organophosphates.

Other, less prevalent organic pesticides may pose some small risk, but honestly, do some research on organophosphates. The deleterious effects of those chemicals on human health far exceed the comparatively trivial effects of the compounds used in organic farming.
