    Sorry, even organic food is being contaminated with poisonous chemtrail residues like aluminum. It has raised the pH of groundwater 800 times over normal in 10 years, much higher than EPA acceptable limits. Nothing is sacred - we have hijacked clean, healthy food, clean water and air fit to breathe for corporate profit, oil and greed.

    I think there is a big mistake on this list although I appreciate it very much and use it. The #2 recommended clean item is sweet corn which is a GMO crop. GMO crops not only affect the environment and destroy local farmers but they have a negative impact on health and some say those impacts may be just as bad or worse than pesticides.

    Fruit washes are surfactants aka soaps. However, many pesticides have systemic modes of action, meaning they go system-wide in the plant. So, no amount of washing or peeling will remove them.

    just want to find out if you peel off the apple skin , can you get rid of most of the toxins ?

    or by washing the apple carefully in fruit wash that claims to remove pesticide residues .....( in America, at least you still have a choice , but for many developing countries , organic veggies and fruit are still not widely available )

    in fact organic foods use chemicals that people dont even know that exist. the whole ORGANIC thing is just a way to make money everything these days has chemicals and toxic poisons to them..everyone can just relax about who has the best info about what to eat...do whats comfortable for you but im just saying i did a ton of research over the past 6 months and the idea or ORGANIC is a load of bull. get natrally grown local food when possible and just do what you can youll be fine

    Not true. History confirms that ~ anything that has been altered, is harmful to our body. We are replacing the healthy energy of plants that nourishes our cells ~to~ adding artificial chemicals that, literally clog-up our bodies. Anything that isnt living, basically, is not going to benefit our bodies. We have to go back to thinking: What foods will nourish us for longevity! Change is needed in mindset.

    Actually, it appears YOU are brainwashed.

    1.Taco Bell GMO taco shells didnt cause any life threatning allergies. Its a possibily, but didnt happen. Also that was caused by putting corn feed used for animals in human food. Not the GMO process.

    2. As for the pet food iv found no reputable news source proving such.

    3. Actually cell phone towers are the current main suspect for honey bee deaths.

    Stop reading organic websites that clearly have the cash incentive to scare you.

    Are you out of your mind or just brainwashed. Taco Bell had to recall its GMO Taco shells because of serious life threatening allergies to a GMO strain that is resistant to stomach acids and enzymes. A GMO Pet food recall also happened resulting in Kidney damage and the deaths of thousands of pets. It is the high pesticide load required to grow GMO seeds that causes the most death and destruction and they are the main suspect in all the Honey Bee deaths .

    There isnt a shred of evidence that GMOs are bad for your health.
