if you ate all organic produce you wouldnt have to worry about the dirty dozen

IF YOU ATE ALL ORGANIC PRODUCE YOU WOULDNT HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THE DIRTY DOZEN

this is a picture of some sink peaches that were grown organically at the coutnry n
these peaches would not be on the dirty dozen list ever
if you ate them you wouldnt worry about absorbing any pesticides or any other poisons introduced into the soil

these are sink peaches because they are so juicy and tasty you have to eat them over a sink to keep from making a mess

each year the dirty dozen of produce is published
its the ones with the highest amount of contamination from pesticides
contamination from other chemicals arent taken into account eg herbicides
