The Dirty Dozen

[TennesseeRains]

If you don't grow your own produce, here's a list of the most pesticide-laden vegetables according to the (gasp) Environmental Working Group. Keep in mind that even though the foods may have pesticides on them, they are typically below hazardous levels according to some. Of course, everything - even water - can be "hazardous" to your health...ask somebody who's drowning.

Good info anyhow.
