What's On My Food?

A new searchable database detailing which pesticide residues can be found on foods along with the toxicology for each chemical is now online. It can be searched by food or by pesticide. For example- peaches, listed by the Enviromental Working Group as containing the most pesticides and residues of all conventionally grown fruits and vegetables, and the number one choice to buy organic, were found to contain 8 known or probable carcinogens, 24 suspected hormone disruptors, 9 neurotoxins, and 8 developmental or reproductive toxicants. This is a great resource and can be found here:
