pesticide poisoning

Alexis 10 Mar 2005 1 min read

I am concerned with healthy diets and healthyy way of eating, though it is very difficult for me to give up eating some of mu favorite foods. Someone told me that eating foods which are contaminated with pesticides is dangerous for our immune system. I was told for example that my favorite strawberries, apples and cucumbers are contaminated with pesticides...
