The big ? about fruit, veggies and pesticides…..
The other day I heard the Danish news on my DAB radio and how they talked about which fruits & veggies that contain the most pesticides. In the news they pointed out that the Danish Health Authority don’t want to develop a concrete list of the fruits and vegetables that contain the most pesticides, based on the latest research in 2013.
I just read an article about this very interesting topic. From the article I learnt this. Always choose organic produce when buying anything listed on The Dirty Dozen list below. Everybody is always talking about buying local and organic, but if money’s tight, then it’s not going to kill you to buy conventional from the second group. In the article they said these following clever words: “The health benefits of a diet rich in fruits and vegetables outweigh the risks of pesticide exposure.”
Bad-The Dirty Dozen
- Apples
- Celery
- Cherry tomatoes
- Cucumbers
- Grapes
