According to the Environmental Working Group, EWG, we can reduce the amount of toxins we consume, on a daily basis, by as much as 80 percent. But you have to know which fruits and vegetables you should buy Organic and which are safe to buy that aren’t labeled organic.
Most people ingest from 2 to 5 different pesticides a day … just from their produce. So, how can we reduce this?
- Eat a varied diet
- Rinse all produce
- Buy Organic if possible
Buy these ORGANIC … they have the most pesticide residual.
- Strawberries
- Apples
- Peaches
- Celery
- Blueberries
- Nectarines
- Spinach
- Bell Peppers
- Cherries
- Potatoes
- Imported Grapes
