Fruits that Contain the Most & Least Amount of Pesticides

• At SanTan Natural Medicine, for all of our patients, whether they are participating in the hCG weight loss diet plan, hormone replacement therapies, or natural pain management, we stress that foods that are treated with pesticides be eaten organic to minimize the exposure to toxic chemicals.

  Here are the Fruits that are treated with the Most Pesticides that should be eaten organic:

  1. Peaches (worst)
  2. Apples
  3. Nectarines
  4. Strawberries
  5. Cherries
  6. Grapes
  7. Pears
  8. Raspberries
  9. Plums
  10. Oranges

  Fruits with the Least Amount of Pesticides:
  11. Bananas
  12. Cantaloupe
  13. Cranberries
  14. Honeydew Melon
  15. Grapefruit
  16. Kiwi
  17. Mangoes
  18. Papaya
  19. Pineapple
  20. Watermelon (least)

  There is a good reason I separated the worst fruits for pesticides from the least. If you only avoid the pesticide fruits on the worst list, and go organic, then that alone will reduce your pesticide exposure a whopping 90%.
