Fruit and vegetable nutrition is vital for overall health, but what if every juicy snack contains a cocktail of toxic pesticides?

The Environmental Working Group (EWG) analyzed samples of conventional bred foods tested by the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) and found that nearly 70 percent was contaminated with pesticide residues.The USDA has uncovered a total of 230 different pesticides and pesticide removal products on thousands of analyzed product samples, and the analysis has shown that there are differences between different types of products.

Each of these food products was positive for a variety of different pesticide residues and contained higher concentrations of pesticides than any other fruits and vegetables.According to the findings of the EWG group, more than 98 percent of samples of apples, cherries, nectarines, shrubs and strawberries were tested positively for the remainder of at least one pesticide.One strawberry sample revealed 20 different pesticides, while spinach samples had 1.8 times more pesticide residues than any other product.

Fruits and vegetables containing the most pesticide residues among samples: apples, apple mash, blueberries, grapes, green beans, leafy vegetables, pears, peaches, potatoes, plums, spinach, strawberries, raisins, peppers, tomatoes and zucchini.In the meantime, those fruits and vegetables that had a low level of pasticides: apple juice, avocado, banana, beans, broccoli, cabbage, melon, carrot, cauliflower, celery, corn, eggplant, grapefruit, lentils, salad, onion, orange , peas, plums, sweet potatoes, tofu, tomato and zucchini sauce.

The Environmental Working Group (EWG) has identified the most toxic group of 12 types of fruits and vegetables with the highest concentration of pesticide residues. Look at your favorite fruits or vegetables on the notorious list of "Twelve Stamped":

EWG also added hot peppers that are not on this list, which are highly contaminated with insecticides that are toxic to the human nervous system.

USDA has found the remains of three very toxic insecticides (acephate, chlorpyrifos and oxamyl) among the 739 tested samples of hot peppers in 2010 and 2011 codins, at concentrations high enough to cause concern.

In 2015, Californian regulators have yet discovered the remains of these three insecticides after a test of 72 unpaired hot peppers.
