Manage episode 427887477 series 2994480
Are you aware of the hidden dangers lurking in your fruits and vegetables? Join us on Fresh Take for an eye-opening discussion with Juan Carlos Rodriguez, an Education and Outreach Specialist at Florida Organic Growers. We promise you’ll gain critical insights into the "Dirty Dozen," a list of produce most contaminated with pesticides, and understand the potential health risks these chemicals pose.
In this episode, we unravel the origins and mission of the Environmental Working Group (EWG), established in 1993, and explore how they educate the public using data from the USDA and FDA. You'll learn why strawberries and other crops are heavily sprayed, especially in climates like Florida's, and the regulations in place to ensure consumer safety.
Discover the truths and misconceptions surrounding organic farming as we clarify the selective use of natural and approved synthetic pest control products. We also highlight emerging evidence linking conventional pesticides to serious health issues, including hormonal disruptions and developmental problems. This episode is a must-listen for anyone committed to maintaining a healthy and sustainable lifestyle.
