I’m a label reader when I shop.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 How much sugar, how much salt and so on, in the items I take off the grocer’s shelves.<\/p>\n

In the produce department\u00a0 I head for the organic section.\u00a0 Problem is one\u00a0 can’t always find the organic vegetables you want.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Because of this, it’s wise to remember the 12 fruits and vegetables that you should\u00a0 buy organic.\u00a0 These are the ones most saturated in pesticides and herbicides.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Pesticides run off from fields and enter the water table and we’ve all heard about their effects on our collective health.<\/p>\n

THE DIRTY DOZEN.\u00a0 The twelve most important fruits and vegetables to buy organic.<\/p>\n

Potatoes<\/p>\n

Grapes<\/p>\n

Kale<\/p>\n

Cherries<\/p>\n

Spinach<\/p>\n

Bell peppers<\/p>\n

Nectarines<\/p>\n

Blueberries<\/p>\n

Apples<\/p>\n

Strawberries<\/p>\n

Peaches<\/p>\n

Celery<\/p>\n

Now all we have to do is remember this list when shopping for produce.<\/p>\n

You are what you eat.<\/p>\n
