Dirty Dozen v. Clean Dozen

These are the dirty dozen - please buy organic as much as you can! Also! remember that most local growers do not use pesticides and their produce is about 95% ok to eat. The following will soak up so much of the chemicals major companies use in their pesticides that will harm our bodies. These are also very different tasting when bought organic v. conventional. Be sure to check with your grocery store - many are using local growers - but market their product as "conventional" this means you get a great product for a great price! Don't be afraid to become friends with your produce manager!

Buy organic:

Peaches
Apples
Sweet bell peppers
Celery
Nectarines
Strawberries
Cherries
Lettuce
Grapes (imported)
Pears
Spinach
Potatoes

Don't forget the GMO veggie/legume! Also important to buy organic are:
corn; and,
soybeans - or anything with soy in it - now, this can be difficult to find - but with all of the "soy" hype out there - they are finding out that non-organic soy is having an adverse affect on us - this is because it is usually genetically modified. Buying organic means that it can not (by FDA standards) be genetically modified.

Similarly, there are also the fruits & veggies that don't absorb the bad chemicals - these are very safe to buy conventional. There's only 10 on this list - sorry if the title was a bit misleading :) :
Eggplant
Broccoli
Cabbage
Bananas
Asparagus
Sweet peas (frozen)
Mango
Pineapples
Avocado
Onions
