  • what is that machine and where to buy it?

  • @azmirreader The machine is a Kangen water machine made by the Enagic company.from Japan. The model is LeveLukSD 501.

  • Sorry but the information you are giving here is incorrect. Pesticides become part of the plant just like any other nutrient since plants are sprayed with it since very early in their life and the process is repeated on a regular basis, therefore pesticides become part of the plant cells. When you wash your fruits and vegetables with whatever method all you do is remove the pesticide from the skin that is all.

  • @mellasone I'm sorry, but are you implying that pesticides are nutrients (you wrote, "Pesticides become part of the plant just like any other nutrient")! For the record, pesticides are not nutrients. You are right that some pesticides are incorporated inside fruits and vegetables. However, many other pesticides are sprayed on the surface and remain on the surface unless removed. Those surface pesticides are the ones removed by the method in this video.

  • @RheumatoidArthritisx I meant that just like nutrients become part of the plant cells, so do pesticides because plants absorb chemicals sprayed onto their skin. You can wash off some pesticide residue left on the skin however you cannot remove pesticides that have been incorporated into the fruits and vegetables while they were growing, these have already become part of the plant. An informative article on pesticides in our food: envirocancer.cornell.edu/facts­heet/pesticide/fs24.consumer.c­fm

  • @mellasone Thank you for the link to the article on pesticides. Did you notice that it doesn't talk at all about pesticides incorporated into the cells of fruits and vegetables and the only recommendations it has for reducing exposure from fruits and vegetables is washing and when possible peeling to remove pesticides from the surface?

  • @RheumatoidArthritisx Peel, if possible. Peeling helps reduce the levels of pesticides that may be on the SURFACE. PEELING DOES NOT REMOVE ALL PESTICIDE RESIDUES, SINCE SOME RESIDUES ARE ABSORBED INTO THE FOOD : copied and pasted from "envirocancer.cornell.edu/fact­s­heet/pesticide/fs24.consumer­.c­fm"

    Sorry to be so persistent but it bothers me that so much incorrect information is given over the internet, it is misleading I have studied 4 years natural nutrition, I know what I am talking about

  • @stuartasutherland great I'll grow and eat organic then. You can have ur agrochemicals for ur children

  • @TheEmpyrios You are very welcome!

  • @RheumatoidArthritisx Thank you very much!
