The health risks of pesticides are far-reaching, and the impact is lifelong and sometimes can be passed on to the future generation as well. Fruits and vegetables like apples, strawberries, grapes, celery, peaches, spinach, sweet bell peppers, imported nectarines, cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, imported snap peas, and potatoes have all been tested to have high residue of pesticides in them.

You should be careful when consuming these products, as they may contain pesticide residues. For example, every sample of imported nectarines and 99% of apple samples tested positive for at least one pesticide residue.

However, one could buy organic produce but not only are they expensive, but there is also no way of telling if you are consuming organic produce or not. This is because many supermarkets slip regular produce as organic to make a large cut.  Hence, instead of being unsure about the quality of your fruits and vegetable, you could invest in a KENT vegetable purifier and bury your worries forever.
