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.
