I've been purchasing organic produce for close to 9 years now, and this was prompted by pregnancy. Nine years ago finding organic produce was hard, and I had to travel at least 30 - 45 miles to purchase them. Fast forward to the present, finding organic goods isn't nearly as hard as being able to pay for them! So, each time I needed to purchase groceries I would go through this mental process of debating which produce were my favorite, and deciding if it would be worth it to purchase them in their organic form? After going through this process too many times...I was over it and decided to research which produce were likely to be the most dangerous if eaten in a non-organic form, and I was able to put this list together.

The pesticides that can be found on our produce affect our overall health in a number of ways. In many cases when we eat non-organic produce we are digesting approximately 30 different pesticides, and this only takes in to account the number of pesticides that remain on the skin of the item (it does not account for the pesticides that may have seeped into the flesh of the produce). Those digested pesticides just hang out in your colon until they are released at a very slow pace, slowly damaging your body. The damage includes, but may not be limited to the items in the table listed below.

A study conducted on women in 2014, presented that there was no significant evidence that suggested eating organic produce decreased the diagnosis of cancer overall. However, eating organic produce did show a decrease of Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma diagnoses in women. This is a very interesting topic, and I'll post more regarding it as information becomes available.
