the pdf file that this newsletter links to is a very handy resource. in canada our results are going to be pretty much the same, since a lot of our food is imported from the states

here's a direct link to a handy printable wallet card of the dirty dozen, top 12 lists of veggies: http://www.foodnews.org/pdf/EWG_pesticide.pdf

Be a Smarter Produce Picker

For years, you've been able to choose foods with less fat or fewer additives. Now, with EWG's 4th edition of the popular Shopper's Guide to Pesticides in Produce, you can minimize your chemical exposure in the produce aisle.

EWG always recommends organic, but we know you can't always find it. Our new Guide features the 12 fruits and veggies with the most and least pesticides so you'll know which ones to buy organic, and which conventionally-grown ones are okay when organic isn't available.

How'd we do it? EWG analyzed over 42,000 of the latest government tests for pesticide residues on commonly-eaten fruits and vegetables. We then ranked the results based on six measures of pesticide loads, after washing and peeling. Click here to download your printer-friendly PDF Guide now.
