How to reduce your toxic exposure by 90% in 1 easy step!

Organic foods are expensive and often they are not an option financially.  Although choosing organic is the best way to avoid your exposure to pesticides and other damaging chemicals used to grow crops, there is a way to reduce your exposure to these toxins.  

Although all non-organic crops always use some kind of chemical spray, there are some crops which use considerably more.  By avoiding the most heavily sprayed crops or choosing organic versions of this produce you can reduce your exposure to chemical nasties by 90%!  

So, here is the list!

1. Apples (More than 10 different chemicals may be sprayed on apple trees or other vegetable crops 
before harvest)

2. Bell pepper

3. Celery

4. Cherries

5. Imported grapes

6. Nectarines

7. Peaches

8. Pears

9. Potatoes

10. Lettuce

11. Spinach

12. Strawberries



Happy Shopping! :)
