The amounts you ingest from conventionally farmed foods are in the 1 in 1,000,000,000 gram range, so no not really. As people like to say, the dose makes the poison
They aren't a very reliable source - they set arbitrarily low limits on what they consider 'safe' that are usually 100-10,000 times lower than the FDA and sometimes as low as parts per trillion, and then write sensationalist articles about how non-organics are bad
They also are largely industry-funded and have a very strong conflict of interest, so their statements about what is and isn't healthy tend to be biased. Their testing is fine, but the interpretation tends to be as alarmist as possible
Who is more controlled by corporate interests? The FDA, who are publicly funded, or the EWG who are funded by corporate sponsorship?
