Wash the Produce
Please!
While growing up, you were most likely told to wash
your hands before you ate. Now that you are an adult you don't have
mother reminding you all the time. It's up to you, nothing has
changed. We need to not only to wash our hands but our produce too.
Agricultural use of pesticides has doubled over the past two
decades. Studies have determined certain chemicals lead to nerve
damage, genetic defects, and cancer. It is impossible to know which
fruits and vegetables have been contaminated with what poison, the
ideal preventative measures is to eat only produce you grow
yourself, without use of pesticides. And that's not practical for
many people.
Where possible, buy domestically grown produce instead of imported
fruits and vegetables. Tests have shown that produce grown the
United States contain lower levels of contaminants than the fruit
imported into our country.
Foods most likely to be contaminated:
Celery, lettuce, cherries, peaches and strawberries
Foods less likely to be contaminated:
Corn, Cauliflower, bananas, and watermelon
No matter where your fruit and produce comes from we highly
recommend that you wash all your fruits and vegetables in soapy
water. Rinse thoroughly, and dry.
