Farmers use pesticides, because without them, nearly half of the crops lost to pests or plant disease, according to the USDA. And although no one knows for sure, it is believed that a high intake of pesticides can weaken our immune system causing serious health problems such as cancer, attention deficit disorder and disorders of the nervous system. According to doctors, children are most vulnerable to these substances.

Always wash fruits and vegetables to remove bacteria and whether they belong to the list of ‘Dirty Dozen’, remove the shell, or better yet, always buy organic. If you take account of the extra expense is not so much when you think about our health.
