The U.S. Environmental Task Force ranks vegetables and fruits that are regularly consumed daily for pesticide residues!
It is mainly ranked according to the types of pesticide residues in these fruits and vegetables.
Because many vegetables and fruits not only use one pesticide in the planting process, when using different pesticides, and the interval is not too long to pick and sell, it is easy to lead to these vegetables and fruits containing different kinds of pesticide residues.
Sometimes a dozen or even twenty pesticide residues may be found on the same vegetable or fruit!
And the "dirtiest fruits and vegetables ranking" in 2020, 1st place strawberry, 2nd place spinach, 3rd place kale, 4th place nectarine, 5th place apple, 6th place grape, 7th place peach, 8th place cherry, 9th place pear, 10th place tomato, 11th place celery, 12th place potato!
Among them, strawberries in No. 1 and spinach in No. 2 have topped the list for 4 consecutive years!
To know that strawberries, apples, grapes, cherries these fruits are many children like to eat, if the child to eat these fruits without treatment, long-term to the child to eat will cause very much damage to the child's body. #谣零零计划 #
It may even cause leukemia in your child.

Studies have found that 40%~45% of rural leukemia patients are related to the use of pesticides, because the benzene derivatives in pesticides will inhibit the synthesis of DNA, resulting in chromosomal mutations and destroying the hematopoietic system to cause leukemia!
"New England Journal of Medicine" proposed the new disease name "pesticide leukemia" for the incidence of leukemia caused by pesticides increasing year by year!
Among the leukemia patients, children are the majority, because the child's immunity is relatively poor, coupled with the excretion capacity of the liver and kidneys is relatively weak, once you eat food containing more pesticides, it is easy to cause these pesticides to accumulate in the body, affecting the health of the child's body, and may eventually cause leukemia!
As a parent, how to prevent the harm of pesticides to your child's body? It is important to do these points well
Point 1: Buy your child skinless food whenever possible
For example, strawberries, which use more pesticide types, are actually a kind of berry, and this berry has no skin, and is generally eaten directly when washed.
If we go to buy strawberries and come back directly rinse and eat them, then the pesticides on the surface of the strawberries will be eaten into the stomach by the child, which will affect the child's health in the long run!
But when we peel off the skinned fruits such as peaches, grapes, and apples, then we can remove most of the pesticides.
So when we choose fruits for children, we try to choose fruits that can be peeled.
Point 2: Wash thoroughly
For example, if we are eating grapes for children, if we are too lazy to peel them, then we must use baking soda or flour to rub the surface of the grapes, rub off the dirty things on the surface and pesticide residue oil, and then wash and soak them with salt water a little, so that most of the pesticides on the skin can be removed.
Point 3: Blanching of greens is recommended
It is more recommended to blanch the greens for the child, boil the water, put the greens in it and roll it, and then put some oil and soy sauce or salt, so that it will be better for the child to eat.
Eating in this way has a very big benefit, that is, most of the pesticides in vegetables can be removed in the process of blanching to avoid the pesticides in vegetables causing harm to the child's body.
And in addition to removing pesticides, there is also a great benefit of blanching greens with water, that is, greens generally contain oxalic acid or phytic acid, if greens are blanched with water, then the oxalic acid and phytic acid in the vegetables will be dissolved in the water, will not be contaminated on the vegetables, children avoid ingesting oxalic acid and phytic acid when eating vegetables.
Because oxalic acid and phytic acid will combine with the calcium in the child's body to form calcium oxalate, affecting the absorption of calcium!
Therefore, when eating vegetables and fruits for children, we must pay attention to selection, pay attention to cleaning, and peel as much as possible in order to avoid the harm of pesticides to the child's body to the greatest extent.
