An apple a day probably won’t keep the doctor away anymore
since it tops the list of The Environmental
Working Group’s list of “Dirty Dozen” fruits and vegetables inundated with
pesticides and fungicides this year. Apples
are also sprayed after picking to
keep them looking good and shiny for a long period of time on the grocery shelf. The other 11 in order from worst to not quite
as bad—but it is suggested to stay away from them are: 2. Celery, 3. Cherry tomatoes, 4. Cucumbers, 5. Grapes, 6. Hot peppers, 7. Imported
nectarines, 8. Peaches, 9. Potatoes and 10.
Spinach 11. Strawberries, 12. Sweet bell peppers. On their list also ran list are kale, collard
greens and summer squash.
My last posting was about believing in our media. Can this be believed? What does the medical community say about all
of this? I challenge anyone reading this
to work on their own media literacy regarding this post. What are the fruits and vegetables on the good list?
