Foods With the Most Pesticides

Unfortunately many of the foods we eat contain large amounts of pesticide chemicals which can be extremely dangerous to our health. It's usually best to avoid certain foods that can contain large amounts of synthetic chemicals. Below is a quick list of the foods with the most pesticides. You should choose organic versions of these usually-healthy foods to protect your health...
  • Apples
  • Peaches
  • Strawberries
  • Celery
  • Lettuce
  • Carrots
  • Nectarines
  • Kale
  • Strawberries
  • Cherries
  • Grapes (especially the imported kinds!)
  • Pears
  • Bell Peppers
It's important to note that things like meat and milk/dairy products can also contain high levels of pesticide residue because farm animals often feed on vegetables and grains grown with pesticides!
