Pesticides-the hidden devil

Hi everyone! So this post is outlining the pesticide situation that happens on our fruits and vegetables. Pesticides cause many issues including but not limited to; pesticides are known to be toxic to the nervous system, cause cancer, disrupt hormones and cause brain damage in children. I know we all love having these issues! So to lower your consumption of pesticides it's best to buy your fruits and veggies organic! Now I realize that buying organic can seem too expensive, but is there a price on you or your children's health? However, as many suggest buy the clean 15 non-organic and the dirty dozen organic, hence the creation of these lists :)
