Dirty Dozen- Most Pesticide Contaminated Fruits/Veggies

[ronicher]

lotta misinformation here - just because you peel it doesn't mean you remove pesticides which are absorbed into many fruits and vegetables. Costa Rica pineapples are loaded with pesticides. forget about corn - if not organic, its GMO, & we still have no idea what the long term effects of THAT will be. his "reduce by 80%" is pure bs, I'd like to know where he got THAT number. He is correct about the berries, tho - they do suck up toxins. Sorry, but if you want safe food, you go organic. period.

@ronicher Misinformation can be heck!

I paid an absolute premium for my organic vegies and I put them in my ultrasonic cleaner that I had just purchased. After it had cleaned the vegetables, I let the clear water out which has now turned yellow . I rinsed them, then took the basket out, the sides of the tub was sticky and the bottom was oily and slick. The only reason for oil to be on vegetables is pesticides, even though the packaging and wall boldly stated organic . So much for organic!
