In today's episode, I'm talking about the fruits and veggies you want to buy organicif you want to avoid excess pesticide exposure.
The following whole foods have the highest levels of multiple pesticides.
- Peaches,nectarines
- Grapes
- Strawberries
- Cherries
- Spinach
- Apples
- Brussel sprouts
- Cucumbers
- Tomatoes
- Apricots
- Lettuce
- Bean pods
Consuming these otherwise health promoting foods in a non-organic form can increase the risk of cancer, neurological disorders, hormone imbalance (PCOS, endometriosis), and reproductive problems (infertility, fetal death, birth defects). That's why it's important to buy organic.
The only exception is if your are buying them from a trusted, local source that doesn't use pesticides. The benefits of the fruit or vegetables do not outweigh the toxicity of the chemicals.
