Pesticides etc do not just stick to the skin they get right into & through the fruit/vegetables etc so washing is pretty much useless - if you are really worried about pesticides you need to buy only organically grown fruit, vegetables etc & even then the reality is that with winds anything can be blown across!!

Personally I stick with destress - so don't get stressed & spend extra $$$ (if you can't afford it) over something that may not be any better in actual fact, espcecially if what you are eating is not making you ill!
