quote from EWG.ORG “The health benefits of a diet rich in fruits and vegetables outweigh the risks of pesticide exposure. Use EWG’s Shopper’s Guide to Pesticides™ to reduce your exposures as much as possible, but eating conventionally-grown produce is far better than not eating fruits and vegetables at all”

I highly recommend visiting EWG’s 2013 Shopper’s Guide to Pesticides in Produce and check out the ‘Dirty Dozen’ & ‘Clean Fifteen’
