2. Non-organic apples
Apples have long been glorified as the embodiment of all that is healthy, however, if you took the time to do the research you’d find a very dirty secret in the apple industry. Non-organic apples clock in as the second most toxic foods in the Environmental Working Group’s 2016 “Dirty Dozen” list. The reason for this is that apple producers coat this fruit in pesticides, insecticides and other chemicals in order to keep bugs from blemishing their perfect skin and ruining the look of the end product.
Whether you wash them first or not, when you bite into these non-organic apples you’re ingesting more than just an apple. The chemicals which coat the outside of these apples can create chaos inside your body, setting your up for all kinds of health conditions, including cancer. They’ve also been found to be significantly lower in nutrients than organic apples.
