Pesticides in Vegetables and Fruits


Dr.Sanjay Gupta's simple tips how to avoid pesticide ridden food - Buy inorganic if the food is peel-able (like Cantaloupe, Melon etc) and organic if its not (Apples, Grapes etc). Same goes for Vegetables and washing doesn't help either. The effects of pesticides on human is still unknown but we would like to believe Rachel Carson's Slient Spring gave us a wake up call way back in 1962.
