Conventionally grown fruits can be marinated in pesticides, which have been shown to cause serious health problems like cancer and liver toxicity. The Environmental Working group recently tested the pesticide levels of 44 kinds of fruits and vegetables and we ranked their 10 most toxic and the 10 least toxic. Plus: The best way to clean fruits and vegetables.

Conventionally grown peaches, apples, and lettuce are marinated in a toxic cocktail of pesticides, which have been shown to cause everything from dizziness to cancer, as well as headaches, rashes, and liver toxicity. But not all fruits and vegetables are affected equally (or receive the same amount of chemical treatment). Bananas, for example, are perfectly safe in their conventional (less expensive) form, thanks to a protective peel. So which conventional fruits and vegetables are the most toxic? The Environmental Working Group—an environmental research firm in Washington, D.C.—recently tested the pesticide levels of 44 kinds of produce to find out.

 

A low cost and highly effective way to make even the most toxic fruits and vegetables safe and healthy to consume is to sanitize and neutralize the pesticides with the lotus Fruit and Vegetable Sanitizing System or the larger capacity Vesture Clean Cuisine Fruit and Vegetable Sanitizing System.
