When it comes to food, quality is more valuable than quantity. A 2015 study by the Environmental Protection Agency found that consumers who often or always bought organic fruits and veggies and ate more produce had significantly less pesticides in their urine than those who bought only conventionally grown foods.

Pesticides are substances designed to repel, kill, or control pests that threaten crop yields. However, their pervasive use has led to unintended consequences. Residual pesticide residues often find their way into the fruits and vegetables we consume, presenting a potential health risk.
