Environmental activists, particularly at the Environmental Working Group, suggest that you can reduce your risks—and fears–by eating fewer of the fruits and vegetables with the highest residues, such as apples, and more of others, such as onions. IWF’s Julie Gunlock and I along with many others have pointed out why EWG’s claims are simply wrong. Read the full story on IWF’s Inkwell blog.
