Thanks for visiting Nutrition Andrea.
MY BLOG:
I have already gotten several questions about the recent study that found a potential connection between pesticides and ADD/ADHA, etc. It was based on amounts of pesticide residue in the childrens urine and if they had any of the above mentioned issues.
So what to do? WASH your fruits and produce - just like you should have been doing anyway! There are special fruit/vegetable washes that help clean the outside and any waxes, etc off the foods. But you do not have to have anything special - just wash using plenty of water and gently rub the surface.
To find out which fruits and vegetables have high pesticide levels inside the fruit/veg [the part you normally eat], go to : www.foodnews.org It will give a list of items you should buy organic to avoid exposure.
