The EWG (Environment Working Group) has released their Dirty Dozen™ and Clean Fifteen™ produce for 2017. This is an extremely resourceful list of the most pesticide-laden produce to the least pesticide-laden produce. And for the 2nd year in a row, strawberries tops the list.

Strawberries happen to be one of my favorite fruits. So I was extremely disappointed to learn that it is still riddled with some of the worst pesticides that have been linked to cancer, reproductive & developmental damage, hormonal disruption and neurological damage.  Imagine the strawberries/berries that you consume being treated with nerve gas, which has been banned by the Geneva Convention. Horrible and frightening, isn’t it? Click here to learn more about some of the horrific pesticide combinations that are found in strawberries.

Below you’ll find a handy list you can cut out and keep in your wallet for use when you go grocery shopping.
