Pesticides have been shown to have adverse effects on human and animal health. They can cause tiredness, poor balance, mood changes, memory loss and concentration difficulty. Long term use can cause damage to the lungs and cause asthma and bronchitis as well as lung cancer. They can also cause damage to the liver, to the nervous system, to the immune system and to the endocrine system. Pesticides are also known to have effects on sterility and cause birth defects.
In an ideal world all our vegetables and fruit should be organic, but as organic produce is still very expensive, it is worth knowing that there are some vegetables and fruit that are far less absorbent. According to studies conducted by the 'Environmental Working Group', it is safe to eat the non-organic versions of these less absorbent vegetables and fruit.

Buy Organic Always
It is best to buy organic grains, nuts, seeds and legumes too, especially if you eat any of these on a regular basis.....and always but organic or GMO free soya beans and soya products, as most soya is genetically modified.
