Everyone are so into organic these days.  That some people have started growing their own fruits and vegetables in their backyard.  We all want to be healthy, but you have to admit.  Organic fruits and vegetables are more expensive than regular non-organic ones.  I know is better to buy grass-fed beef.  But is double the price of what i normally paid.  Not only beef, but most fruits and vegetables too.  I know understand that it takes more time and efforts to grow these items.  But at the same time, with the economy still not doing so well.  Not everybody could buy all organic items.

Now there are 15 foods you don’t have to buy organic according to delish.com

Avocados have thick skins that protect the fruit from pesticide build-up.

Sweet corn may take a lot of fertilizer to grow, but you’re unlikely to end up with any pesticides on the kernels.

You won’t be eating the tough pineapple skin, which protects the fruit from pesticide residue. As with all your produce, you should rinse the pineapple before cutting.

Sweet mango flesh is protected by its thick skin from pesticides. Still, you’ll want to rinse under water before cutting open.

Asparagus face fewer threats from pests such as insects or disease, so fewer pesticides need to be used.

Sweet peas are among the least likely vegetables to have pesticide residue, according to the Environmental Working Group’s latest survey of government data.

Kiwi peel provides a barrier from pesticides. Give them a rinse before cutting.

Cabbage doesn’t hold on to so many pesticides because a ton of spraying isn’t required to grow it. What it does hold onto is beta carotene: It’s a superfood!

Maybe it’s the thick skin, but eggplants are among the least likely to be contaminated by pesticides, according to the Environmental Working Group.

Pesticide residue stays on papaya skin, but be sure to give them a wash before slicing open.

With that rind, watermelon has a natural defense against the onslaught of any chemical.

Conventional broccoli doesn’t retain so many pesticides because the crop faces fewer pest threats, which means less spraying.

Tomatoes were on the 2008 Dirty Dozen list of foods with the most pesticide residue, but the latest update finds them cleaner than most. Why? The Environmental Working Group isn’t sure.

Not only are sweet potatoes unlikely to be contaminated with pesticides, they’re also a superfood, packed with vitamin A and beta carotene.

I always thought that popcorn was one of the healthier snack.  Is light and fluffy.  Even Sophia has gotten to love it as much as i do.  She get so excited about me  opening up a freshly warm popcorn.  What i didn’t know is that i was giving her toxic.  According to couple of sources i been reading about online and newspaper. ( They are talking about the popcorn that are being popped in microwaves. )

This is just one of the site i read about the toxic in popcorn.

Oprah.com

“You tug at the corners of a piping-hot bag of microwave popcorn, and a plume of fragrant steam escapes. We hate to point this out, but that steam contains nearly four dozen chemicals—the sources include the buttery flavorings and the ink and glue on the bags—according to a new report from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. While it’s unclear how many of the chemicals may be harmful at the levels emitted, one is a known troublemaker.”

“Diacetyl, the substance used to impart a buttery taste to the movie-time snack, made headlines last summer when a Colorado man contracted “popcorn lung”—a.k.a. bronchiolitis obliterans—a severe respiratory disease linked to breathing large amounts of the stuff. (The condition has been a problem for workers in popcorn manufacturing plants.) Although dozens of foods from Twinkies to red wine contain diacetyl, it is harmless when eaten. The rub is that when heated to high temperatures, like those used to cook microwave popcorn, diacetyl vaporizes and becomes toxic.

As with most toxins, the devil’s in the dosage. Reportedly, the man ate an average of two bags of extra-butter-flavored microwave popcorn daily for more than ten years and (here’s the kicker) hovered over the steaming-hot pouch to fully enjoy its buttery bouquet. Cecile Rose, MD, director of the occupational medicine program at the National Jewish Medical and Research Center in Denver, Colorado, treated the man. “It is just a single case,” she says, “but I wouldn’t dismiss this concern.”

Manufacturers have taken that concern to heart: The country’s largest makers of microwave popcorn—ConAgra, General Mills, American Pop Corn Company, and Pop Weaver— no longer use diacetyl in their products, which include Act II, Orville Redenbacher, Pop Secret, Pop Weaver, and Jolly Time.

As for the remaining chemicals in microwave popcorn, you can play it safe by following a few steps outlined by David Michaels, PhD, director of the Project on Scientific Knowledge and Public Policy at the George Washington University School of Public Health and Health Services, an expert on microwave popcorn fumes: Wait until the bag is cool to the touch before opening (the vapor will condense), and open the bag under a stovetop exhaust fan.”

So think twice before popping anymore popcorn in the microwaves.  You could do more harm to you and your love ones than you think.
