There’s no need to wash apples before you eat them, study finds
An apple a day … could be filling your body with pesticides, a new study has found.
The act of washing fruit, a precautionary measure taken by many consumers, has been found to not be enough to remove toxic chemicals and pesticide residue, according to the new research published in the American Chemical Society’s journal Nano Letters on Wednesday.
It adds fresh insights into the debate over the health risks of pesticides and what, if any, is the threshold for consuming contaminated produce, the New York Post reports.
