PESTICIDES IN FOOD

One of the main reasons for buying organic fruits and vegetables is the presence of pesticides sometimes found in conventional foods.  Some studies show that the presence of pesticides in fruits and vegetables may be linked to health problems.  If you can't afford or don't have good access to organic foods, that is not necessarily a bad thing.  The good news is that a thorough washing of fresh fruits and vegetables with water (no soap, please) will remove almost all pesticides.  The main thing is to make sure you wash all fresh fruits and veggies.
