======================================================================
2018 According to the EWG, the following conventional fruits and vegetables have the highest levels of pesticide residues (5):

Strawberries: Conventional strawberries consistently top the Dirty Dozen list. 
In 2018, the EWG found that one-third of all strawberry samples contained ten or more pesticide residues.
Spinach: 97% of spinach samples contained pesticide residues, including permethrin, 
a neurotoxic insecticide that is highly toxic to animals (6Trusted Source).
Nectarines: The EWG detected residues in nearly 94% of nectarine samples, with one sample containing over 15 different pesticide residues.
Apples: The EWG detected pesticide residues in 90% of apple samples. What’s more, 80% of the apples tested contained traces of diphenylamine, 
a pesticide banned in Europe (7).
Grapes: Conventional grapes are a staple on the Dirty Dozen list, with over 96% testing positive for pesticide residues.
Peaches: Over 99% of the peaches tested by the EWG contained an average of four pesticide residues.
Cherries: The EWG detected an average of five pesticide residues on cherry samples, including a pesticide called iprodione, which is banned in Europe (8).
Pears: Over 50% of pears tested by the EWG contained residues from five or more pesticides.
Tomatoes: Four pesticide residues were found on the conventionally grown tomato. One sample contained over 15 different pesticide residues.
Celery: Pesticide residues were found on over 95% of celery samples. As many as 13 different types of pesticides were detected.
Potatoes: Potato samples contained more pesticide residues by weight than any other crop tested. Chlorpropham, an herbicide, 
made up the bulk of the detected pesticides.
Sweet bell peppers: Sweet bell peppers contain fewer pesticide residues compared to other fruits and vegetables. Yet, 
the EWG cautions that pesticides used on sweet bell peppers “tend to be more toxic to human health.”

Feb 12 2021  Tea   Pesticides  
Apr 18 2019  Since tea is often praised as a healthy drink, The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) 
decided to investigate whether or not the most popular tea brands contained traces of pesticides 
in their products that could undermine the health benefits of the tea.
They found out that an inspection done by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) 
three years ago concluded that 1 in 4 teas contained pesticide residue far above the safety limit set by Health Canada. 
Both the dry leaves and steeped tea contained these traces.

Pesticides In Tea: The 3 Worst Offenders!
6/10 of the teas tested contained a cocktail of pesticides, but each was below Canadian limits. These three, however, were way above these guidelines.
.
1. Twinings Earl Grey
This classic tea is considered a relatively high quality bagged tea. However, it placed third highest in pesticide content. 
Most alarmingly, this tea was repeatedly found to contain acetamiprid, a poison that causes severe nausea and vomiting, 
muscle weakness, hypothermia, convulsions, and hypoxia in small quantities (3).
.
2. Tetley Green Tea
Tetley green tea has been shown to contain both acetamiprid and chlorfenapyr, which is fatal in small quantities. 
Chlorfenapyr has delayed effects, causing death or damage to the central nervous system up to two weeks after ingestion. 
The CBC report showed that Tetley’s tea had 18 pesticides in its finished product, 3 over the allowable limit (4).
.
3. Uncle Lee’s Legends of China green tea
Uncle Lee’s Legends of China is the most toxic tea sold in Canadian grocery stores. 
It contained the same pesticides as Tetley as well as dangerous levels of Bifenthrin, a known carcinogen. 
It contained traces of 22Pesticides, 6 of which in illegal quantities (5).
.
It’s far from the only Chinese tee with illegal pesticides. Countless Chinese tea producers routinely 
use pesticides banned by China’s Ministry of Agriculture (6).
.
The Unexpected Winner
Of all the teas tested by CBC, Red Rose was the only brand that contained zero pesticides. 
The tea brand has made many efforts in recent years to be more ecofriendly and ethical. 
It has now received Rainforest Alliance Certification and Fair Trade Certified (6).
This proves that it is possible for a profitable business to give its customers pesticide-free products at a large scale.
.
Health Canada’s Response
Despite the alarming results revealed by the investigation, Health Canada insists that these pesticides aren’t a public health concern.
“Health Canada reviewed the information provided by Marketplace and for the pesticides bifenthrin, 
imidacloprid, acetamiprid, chlorfenapyr, pyridaben, acephate, dicofol and monocrotophos determined 
that consumption of tea containing the residues listed does not pose a health risk based on the level of residues reported, 
expected frequency of exposure and contribution to overall diet. Moreover, a person would have 
to consume approximately 75 cups of tea per day over their entire lifetime to elicit an adverse health effect,” 
a spokesperson wrote to the CBC in a statement.
But not everyone agrees :”This is very worrisome from a number of perspectives,” environmental lawyer David Boyd told CBC.
.
“I think that’s a complete abdication of CFIA’s responsibility to protect Canadian people. 
The reality is that there is emerging science about the impacts of pesticides at very low concentrations,” he says.
“The whole point of pesticides is that they’re chemically and biologically active in parts per million or parts per billion…Pesticides 
can have adverse effects at what are seemingly very small concentrations.”
.
Choosing Pesticide Free Tea
The simplest way to avoid sipping on pesticides in tea (or other unwanted substances) along with your tea is 
by choosing loose-leaf unflavored organic products.
