Are You Really Hungry?

In fact, 42% of women that live below the poverty level are obese, as well as 29% of men and 20% of children! So clearly access to enough food isn’t the problem. I believe our biggest challenge is overcoming our appetite and only eating when we’re trul ...

The Magic of the Multi

The Dirty Dozen
In regards to fruits and vegetables, should I really be using the word dirty as a descriptor? I believe the answer is a strong yes. I know it’s not realistic for everybody to only eat organic all of the time, so I am going to share with you the top twelve fruits and vegetables to avoid, as well as the ones to go after. You may be thinking I am crazy for recommending you avoid eating any fruit or vegetable. While it’s true I would rather you eat any fruit or vegetable over processed garbage, I know how savvy consumers are becoming. We want to make educated decisions about where our food comes from, how it is harvested and what impact it will have on our health.
Over the last several decades, the toxic load of our fruits and vegetables has sky-rocketed. Back in the day, farmers only new of organic methods, and now we have pesticides, herbicides, fungicides, larvicides, chemicals and even crops that have these harmful substances inserted into them as DNA! If you really think about it, this is absolutely crazy. But instead of throwing our hands in the air, here is a list of The Dirty Dozen and The Clean Twelve. Go for organic options on the first 12, and don’t worry so much about that with the second 12.12 Most Contaminated
Peaches
Apples
Sweet Bell Peppers
Celery
Nectarines
Strawberries
Cherries
Pears
Grapes (imported)
Spinach
Lettuce
Potatoes
12 Least Contaminated
Onions
Avocado
Sweet Corn (frozen)
Pineapples
Mango
Asparagus
Sweet Peas (frozen)
Kiwi
Bananas
Cabbage
Broccoli
Papaya

I didn’t see tomatoes anywhere in those lists. Are store bought tomatoes safe to consume or would you recommend going organic?

Although they didn’t make the list for the Dirty Dozen, I personally would definitely go with organic because you do eat the skin. Great question-thank you!
