Episode 3428:
Dr. Neil Malik explains the practical realities of buying organic produce and how to reduce pesticide exposure without overspending. He breaks down the Dirty Dozen and Clean 15 lists, discusses what the research says about pesticides, and offers simple, affordable strategies to help you make smarter grocery choices.
Quotes to ponder:
"Researchers have found that water and friction are pretty darn effective at removing most pesticides on our produce."
"Most scientists however agree we probably want to limit pesticide exposure as much as possible especially in younger children and those that are pregnant."
"One of the concerns with consuming produce that has grown conventionally meaning not organically is exposure to pesticides."
