If you can't go all organic avoiding the "dirty dozen" could dramatically cut your exposure to pesticides.
The dirty dozen is a list of the 12 most pesticide-polluted fruits and veggies.
If at all possible grab the organic versions.
According to John La Puma, MD -- RealAge expert and author of the new book http://www.chefmd.com/ Big Book of Culinary Medicine -- going organic with these 12 fruits and veggies could cut your exposure to pesticides as much as 90 percent!
* Fruits
o Peaches and nectarines
o Strawberries and cherries
o Apples and pears
o Imported grapes
* Veggies
o Spinach and lettuce
o Potatoes and celery
o Sweet bell peppers
I found this a tidy and helpful list so I thought I would pass it along.
