The Dirty
Dozen
Eat Organic on a Budget
Buying organic fruits and veggies can be expensive, but it pays
off in certain cases. Research suggests that you can lower your
pesticide exposure by up to 90% by avoiding the
12 most contaminated varieties and opting for organic instead.
High in Pesticides
Peaches, Apples, Sweet Bell Peppers, Celery, Nectarines,
Strawberries, Cherries, Pears, Grapes (imported), Spinach, Lettuce and
Potatoes
Low in Pesticides
Onions, Avocados, Sweet corn (frozen), Pineapples, mangoes,
Asparagus,
Sweet peas (frozen), Kiwi, Bananas, Cabbage, Broccoli and Papaya
You don't need to follow a strict all-organic diet
to cut your intake of pesticides. According to a study conducted
by Stonyfield Farm and the Environmental Working Group, a public
health and environmental organization that has itemized a list of the
most- and least-contaminated fruits and veggies, you can slash your
pesticide ingestion by up to 90%. HOW? Simply avoid the
most contaminated produce by buying the organic versions. Use
the list above to figure out which regular produce is OK to eat and
which is worth the organic splurge.
