I do remember that apples and berries and cherries are the most sprayed of the fruit.
It does mean rethinking your shopping list and reading more labels, but overall, it hasn't increased the cost much as organic is becoming much more accessible.
We have also reduced/eliminated our grain and sugar consumption and eliminated wheat which has been much more of a challenge. But it has been a worthwhile shift health wise.
Here is the link to the list of what to buy organically.

lghtworker888: I may be wrong where published but I believe it was the WSJ that carried an article wherein the author stated their was absolutely no benefit from eating organic foods and hence it did not justify the increase prices.
I do not know if this information is true or untrue. I do not pass judgment on anyone nor do I take issue with anyone's personal dietary preferences. However, the continuing contradictions by experts leaves me confused and skeptical about any claims made for the type of foods we eat , how it is raised or grown, vitamins , supplements, etc.
If I took to heart all of what experts claim is good/bad I suspect I would die of starvation or dehydration. And since I am advanced in age I suspect that whatever I do for the remaining years isn't going to do any more harm than I already have up to this point in my life.
