I’d add that celery is important to buy organic, since the chems travel up inside the stalk. Soaking the regular kind for a few days can “rinse” the celery out for a less bitter taste, but it’s never as good as the organic stuff!

Hi David, This post is extremely helpful. Thank you so much. I will be able to better calculate my organic/non-organic purchases now. Would you mind very much if I quoted your lists in my blog (http://mommy-nature.blogspot.com) with a reference and prominent link back to you? I think that my readers would find this equally helpful. Thanks so much for considering my request. Peace always, Deb

Hi Robb
Here in the Uk we recently had a study publicised to say that there is no scientific evidence to prove organic is any more healthy than inorganic. My guess is that the results of these surveys depend to a large degree on who funds them.
I’m not actually sure we need scientific surveys to work this one out. It’s pretty obvious that pesticides and fertilisers kill forms of life – in the case of pesticides that is what they are designed to do, and fertilisers obviously do – check worm counts and insect and plant divesity etc. – so if they do that when applied to the crops how can that be good for you when you eat the residues. I know the chemical companies will say that the poisons disintegrate into harmless residues over time, but I prefer to err on the side of caution, and into the bargain help preserve the biodiversity of the planet.
