group, a nonprofit focused on public health, scoured nearly 100,000 produce
pesticide reports from the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the U.S. Food
and Drug Administration to determine what fruits and vegetables we eat have
the highest, and lowest, amounts of chemical residue.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p style='line-height:15.0pt'><font size=1 color=black face=Arial><span
style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black'>Most
alarming are the fruits and vegetables dubbed the "Dirty Dozen,"
which contain 47 to 67 pesticides per serving. These foods are believed to be
most susceptible because they have soft skin that tends to absorb more
pesticides.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p style='line-height:15.0pt'><font size=1 color=black face=Arial><span
style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black'>"It's
critical people know what they are consuming," the Environmental Working
Group's Amy Rosenthal said. "The list is based on pesticide tests
conducted after the produce was washed with USDA high-power pressure water
system. The numbers reflect the closest thing to what consumers are buying at
the store."<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p style='line-height:15.0pt'><font size=1 color=black face=Arial><span
style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black'>The

style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black'>Not all
non-organic fruits and vegetables have a high pesticide level. Some produce
has a strong outer layer that provides a defense against pesticide
contamination. The group found a number of non-organic fruits and vegetables
dubbed the "Clean 15" that contained little to no pesticides.</span></font><font
