    A consumer reports investigation a few yrs back (paraphrasing) found something like 8-12 pesticides on ave veggies and 3-5 on organic veggies. Then it listed ea known pesticide effect on humans. Cancer, brain damage, death, etc 👀

        As a farmer I question this. As I can't think of more than 4 different chemical sprays a crop can need in a yr. And most are before the "fruit" is made

        As a produce farmer who has product MRL tested randomly this is a false statement because if consumer product has residue over certain level it can not be sold for human consumption

        Yeah...if you drink the stuff. But for modern agriculture likely half the world would starve due to low yields and high prices.

        Commercial farming is very different from the average family run farm.

        Be careful when telling a farmer what he can and can't do. American farmers feed a record number of people. Higher grain prices mean more will starve worldwide. It's not a subject for Monday morning quarterbacks.

        What was the quantative determination of the pesticides? There are many hazardous elements and compounds found in the environment that occur naturally. However, bc their concentrations are negligible they do not pose a threat to life.

        Consumer Reports relies upon their readers to be naive and unfamiliar with basic toxicology. Oxygen, glucose (sugar) and water can also cause brain damage and death if the dose is sufficient. Fruit and veggie intake is consistently linked to lower risk of all-cause mortality.

        It's called a dose-response curve. Please don't spread hysteria. Consumer Reports already does this.

        Why are there any pesticides on organics? If so, how can they be sold as organic? This is just wrong!

        If you have fruit trees in your yard, you’ll see how variable your crops are without spraying. Even in great years, apples and pears almost never look like the perfect blemish-free things stacked in supermarkets. 🍎 Those pretty market fruits are balls of ☠️ poison.

        There's a list of 'the dirty dozen' each year... the worst of these. Also a product called 'Fit' that washes/dissolves pesticides on the fruit/veggie never buy non-organic produce!

        80 ++ years ago at the down of the chemical age they probably thought they were on the cutting edge of science. Never thinking- is this safe to eat? What will this do to the environment. Not so smart after all. #permaculture allows for abundant healthy food w no chemicals.

        Better dig out that report and reread. I see veggies rejected at customs frequently due to pesticide residue.

        As someone who works in an environmental lab, I can tell you "finding" something is easy. We have detection limits in parts per trillion. What we find are components of the pesticides, not the actual pesticides. They break down in water. We put the pieces back together.

        What concentration of chemicals is the basis of the study? Depending on desired results, studies & testing can be manipulated in order to ‘prove’ a theory.

        One of the studies I read indicated that the benefits, disease-fighting abilities of eating more produce outweighs the risks of pesticide exposure...I think it may have been in The China Study

        In a word, Yikes! 😳 Though I think it may explain the higher incidence of many types of cancer especially in children.
