This is why I ignore the Dirty Dozen list from EWG. Only 1 in 10 U.S. consumers eats the recommended daily amount of fruits + veggies. Scaring people away form produce w/flawed science is counter productive. Enjoy fruits/veggies whether canned, fresh, frozen or 100% juice!
Since 1995, EWG annually releases its “Dirty Dozen” list which inaccurately disparages the safety of fruits and vegetables. A study published in the Journal of Toxicology examined EWG’s list and their methodology. Visit our latest blog to find out more. bit.ly/3mIWPRn
