More Reason To Wash Your Produce

Chemicals on our produce may contribute to behavior problems in our kids...

The studies, which looked at a class of pesticides called organophosphates (OP), linked exposure to the chemicals with attention disorders in children, with perhaps the most dramatic impacts to kids who are exposed in the womb and those who are genetically most susceptible.

Organophosphates are a set of common pesticides that work by attacking the nervous systems of insects. When people are exposed to high levels of the chemicals, they can develop anxiety, confusion impaired concentration, and other serious symptoms. More recently, scientists have started to wonder how chronic exposure at low levels might be affecting people, especially kids, whose nervous systems are still developing.

To avoid exposure to OP pesticides, it is recommended that you buy organic fruits and vegetables, or produce from farmers markets, which are usually sprayed with fewer chemicals. If you can't afford those options or don't have access to them, turn on the tap before you chop. OP pesticides are soluble in water and should wash off with a good scrub.
