Eating Healthy

One of the issues that faces us today is the contamination of our food by pesticides. The 12 fruits and vegetables that contain the highest amounts of pesticides are apples, imported grapes, nectarines, cherries, pears, red raspberries, strawberries, peaches, spinach, celery, potatoes, and bell peppers.

The way to avoid these pesticides is to buy certified organic fruits and vegetables. Natural does not ensure that you will not get the pesticides. Only organically grown fruits and vegetables are free of pesticides.

I eat lots of red/orange/yellow bell peppers. I guess I'll look for organics at Whole Foods.
