    The EPA and FDA set limits and regulate pesticide, herbicide, and antibiotic use. A raw or paleo diet probably won’t help much without both agencies.

      PSA: soak your produce in a baking soda solution to break down chemicals.

      *To all the doubters this is easily verified

      Surface pesticide residues were most effectively removed by sodium bicarbonate (baking soda, NaHCO3) solution when compared to either tap water or Clorox bleach.

        What is the chemicals aren’t acidic and can’t be neutralized by rinsing in a basic solution?

        It’s sad to see 13 downvotes all because you said “chemicals” instead of “pesticides”, even though it’s right in the excerpt you posted, and you linked to the scientific study. All the responses are trash jokes and people without reading comprehension.

        I don’t see a single one that has anything valuable to add.

        But I’m not baking, and it’s not even soda! The fuck is this bullshit?!
