From Helen Chin Lui’s book “Digestive Health Secrets: Deactivate You Sick Genes NOW! Coming out in 2015.

From my research I learned that the Environmental Working Group (EWG) develops an annual list of the dirty dozen foods and “Clearn 15” foods that are safer to eat non-organically.Ā  The group analyzes the Department of Agricultureā€™s data about pesticide residue and ranks foods based on how much or how little pesticide residue they have.Ā  The range is between 47 to 67 pesticides per serving. Information is compiled from over 96,000 studies conducted by FDA and the USDA.

Current ā€œClean 15ā€ Foods that are safer to eat non-organically

Fruits and vegetables that have a thick skin, peel or pod that protects the fruit from pesticide build-up (wash prior to eating or cutting into) are:

ā€¢Ā Avocados
ā€¢Ā Sweet Corn
ā€¢Ā Pineapple
ā€¢Ā Frozen Sweet peas
ā€¢Ā Mango
ā€¢Ā Papaya
ā€¢Ā Kiwi
ā€¢Ā Grapefruit
ā€¢Ā Cantaloupe

Fruits and vegetables that Insects are less attracted to leading to fewer pesticides ā€“

ā€¢Ā Cabbage
ā€¢Ā Onions
ā€¢Ā Asparagus
ā€¢Ā Eggplant
ā€¢Ā Cauliflower
ā€¢Ā Sweet Potatoes

You may still wish to buy some of these ā€œClean 15ā€ foods organically to avoid GMOs ā€“ in particular Hawaiian papaya.
