Testing data showed that more than 90% of strawberries, spinach, nectarines, apples, grapes, and cherries tested positive for two or more pesticides. However, almost 70% of the produce on our clean 15 list had no pesticide residues detected.

A recent Harvard University study showed that eating produce high in pesticide residues may actually offset the beneficial effects of eating fruits and vegetables, like protection against cardiovascular disease and mortality.
