Debunking the Dirty Dozen - Episode 50
from The Keri Report Hosted by Keri Gans
Every year, the Environmental Working Group releases the Dirty Dozen, a list of conventionally-grown fruits and vegetables with the highest levels of pesticide residues. And every year, this list generates unnecessary consumer concern. In this episode, I'm joined by Tamika Sims, Ph.D., the Senior Director of Food Technology Communications for the International Food Information Council. We talk about the difference between organic and conventional farming, natural and synthetic pesticides, and how consumers shouldn't be worried about the Dirty Dozen.
