Manny concerned parents and grandparents come running to the Medical Office (Integrative General Medicine)where I work at talking about Organic products and there safety against regularly produced vegetables and fruits. As a Biomedical Biologist we are told that pesticides have little to no effect on the human body considering that we wash our fruits and vegetables. There is truth to this fact. Buying regularly grown fruits and vegetables are safe enough to eat as long as you take the time to wash them thoroughly and that doesn't mean simply rinsing it, but actually scrubbing it ! If your still worried about pesticides you may simply buy organics which are always the best choice or peel of the skins of non organic produce.
Always remember to eat a bunch of fruits and vegetables daily because they are truly the nutritious part of any meal ! Try a Meatless Monday in where you only eat vegetarian foods for a whole day ! Adopting this nutritious lifestyle helps you lower your chances of heart disease, diabetes, obesity, cancer, and renal problems.
So go out and take a bit off nature !!! In a good eco friendly kind of a way ;)
