Pesticides lurk on most of our non organic foods. These pesticides can have harmful effects on the body. Some foods have much higher levels of pesticides than others and here is a good must buy organic list:
* Peaches - listed as the worst with the highest levels of pesticides of all conventional produce * Strawberries - one of the most pesticide laden food of all.* Raspberries * Apples * Grapes * Raisins and * Juice! - many kinds of juices have Grape Juice in them * Nectarines * Apricots * Pears * Cherries * Lemons - especially if zesting, should definitely use organic * Limes * Bananas - heavy chemicals for the trip to America including Thiabendazole which Damages the Brain and Nervous System.* Cantaloupe from Mexico * Tomatoes * Potatoes * Corn - kids love it and so do bugs plus most corn is now genetically modified! Many products contain corn syrup too so choose organic when you can for those items as well. * Celery * Cucumbers * Spinach * Lettuce * Green & Red Bell Peppers * Hot Peppers * Green Beans * Winter or Hard Squash * Carrots Also important to buy organic:
* Rice - loaded with pesticides!
* Oats - read those cereal boxes!
* Milk - antibiotics and hormones are forced into America's conventional dairy cow to increase profits without regard on our children's health or that of the cow's - see Not in My Milk
* Baby Foods! - babies are particularly sensitive to pesticides to make your own or go Organic!

Thanks Deanna! I totally agree with you on this. I think there is something terribly wrong with our government when these foods are so out of reach for 90% of society. They are so expensive. I buy organic. I sacrifice other things to get the best food because I think we are what we eat. I also believe it is far more powerful to have a positive mentality and let things go than to go broke and be stressed out over buying organic.
I am very excited to announce that I am taking AlphaWomen.com to see a nutritionist! We are going to Karyn's Raw Food Store and Restaurant here in Chicago and we are going to learn about going RAW! We are going to cover topics like Infertility, Cancer and Cleaning up your lifestyle. I might even volunteer to get a Wheat Grass enema!
Thanks Deanna for keeping all of us healthy!!!

Deanna, I agree, 100%! I hope that all A/W readers will take this post seriously! Our bodies are a temple, and we only have one house to live in, when it's gone, so are you.
