A large new study has shown that food affects pesticide levels in the body. People who eat more fruits and vegetables with higher pesticide residues, such as strawberries, spinach and peppers, have significantly higher levels of these chemicals in their urine. Popular fruits and vegetables are linked to higher levels of pesticides. Eating fruits and vegetables remains the basis of a healthy diet. However, food choices can lead to exposure to pesticides. These chemicals are linked to cancer, hormone disruption and developmental damage. The findings reveal the impact of daily diet on real-world pesticide exposure.
