Should I buy Organic?

So your New Year's resolution to exercise regularly is intact.  Are you considering changes in your diet to "Be Healthier" this year?  Probably includes eating more healthy fruits and veggies, right?   As you consider whether to invest in that organic apple, onion or bunch of kale, check out this list of "the Dirty Dozen."  These fruits and vegetables, when grown non-organically, retain the most pesticides in the food.  Probably worth the extra money to keep that body functioning at its best!!

1.  Apples
2.  Celery
3.  Strawberries
4.  Peaches
5.  Spinach
6.  Nectarines (Imported)
7.  Grapes (Imported)
8.  Sweet bell peppers
9.  Potatoes
10.  Blueberries
11.  Lettuce
12.  Kale/collard greens
