    Hi Kristina, thank you for your video. However, organic doesn't mean pesticide-free. I read several articles and studies about that. It means that in organic food the pesticides must be derived from natural sources, not synthetically manufactured. A real organic apple looks way less nicer than the ones you find in the supermarket. It has holes due to the bugs and it is much smaller. When you test synthetic chemicals (used in non-organic food) for their ability to cause cancer, you find that about half of them are carcinogenic.
    Until recently, nobody bothered to look at natural chemicals (such as organic pesticides), because it was assumed that they posed little risk. But when the studies were done, the results were somewhat shocking: you find that about half of the natural chemicals studied are carcinogenic as well. This is a case where everyone (consumers, farmers, researchers) made the same, dangerous mistake. We assumed that "natural" chemicals were automatically better and safer than synthetic materials, and we were wrong. It's important that we become more prudent in our acceptance of "natural" as being innocuous and harmless. The purpose in writing this comment is not to discourage people from buying organic produce. It is only meant to let you know what you are or aren't getting when you make such a purchase. Unless you know your grower personally, there is no guarantee that your produce has been grown without pesticides or other chemicals. It's a point to consider, given the substantially higher cost of organic foods.

    Love your channel! Great video...I have been an organic farmer for over 12 years. I would suggest to you to remove cabbage from the good list and move to the contaminated list. Lots of pesticides are sprayed on cabbage everyday to keep the cabbage worms at bay. Thanks for sharing and I look forward to your next!(-:

    I soak my fruits in water and vinegar (3:1) for about 15-20 mins to take off the wax, sanitize and clean off the pesticides. I really should do the same with veggies but keep on forgetting, I peel the skin on most of them anyway. Organic is just too expensive.

    • @LightHouseDesign
      @LightHouseDesign 10 років тому +9

      I've read that after vinegar you should soak the fruit in water with baking soda (1tbs/1l) to wash the pesticides away

    • @yanak7159
      @yanak7159 10 років тому +7

      lemurian chick In my comment I said that I soak my fruits not veggies and I didn't say that all organic food is expensive. I buy majority of food organic or all natural for pretty good price, except fruits and veggie (I like to buy them through an actual farm whatever is in season or someone with their own garden). No need to get all defensive.

    • @kourtneysweet5022

    FullyRawKristina Hey Kristina! Thanks for your advice, if the vegetables and fruits are well cleaned after purchase does it still mean that they can contain the pesticides? Or did the pesticides already go within the fruit/vegetable? Thank you :)

    I throw whole kiwi fruit in to our smoothies, so always buy organic. The skins provide great fibre and you can be sure you are getting all the vitamins. Here in New Zealand, the home of kiwi fruit, most are heavily sprayed - especially for export.

Thanks for that rule of thumb, as well.

    how about broccoli? Could u tell me if the toxicity of conventional pesticides treated veggies is lessened by being cooked. I stopped putting fresh spinach in my smoothies because it is not organic, but I am not sure if the spinach gets safer by cooking it? I know cucumber is also dirty veggie, so I started peeling the skin when put in my smoothie, it hurts to have to do that, since the most nutrient is in the skin. Thank you for your respond to my confusion.

    Thank you for putting up the video. I've always wondered which veggies and fruits are the most contaminated. I can see why Tomatoes would be heavily treated with chemicals given they are prone to blight and cracking but i wonder why kale is moving up the list. I've always found organic kale to be very easy to grow. Maybe its preservatives.

    It is important to mention that "organic" farms are allowed to use bio-pesticides. These are chemicals derived from plants, fungi or bacteria. Phytochemicals can be just as toxic and more toxic than other chemicals that are applied. People need to realize that the organic certification really needs a lot of reworking. It is not the end all be all.

    Hi Kristina,
    I'm super excited to try a fully raw diet for the next two weeks! I'll start out as a personal challenge, and hopefully eventually convert to a longtime lifestyle. I have been suffering recently from cystic acne, so maybe this raw diet will help! As long as it helps my health overall, I'll be happy :)
    As a beginner, I'm just a little concerned about getting my iron, calcium and protein in! I used to be a big meat-eater, and as I'm cutting those out, I don't want to miss out on the beautiful minerals and vitamins!
    Thank you for sharing so much!!!
