Are apples bad or good for you?? please read?!
Me and my friend were having an argument about apples I said they are a good alternative for a snack but he said their not good because they spray the plant with pesticides and the apple is coated in wax or something!. But I told him if it was that dangerous they wouldn't sell!.!.!.!.thats what the USDA is for, food control!.
So I was wondering if apples can give you cancer in the long run since the non-organic ones have pesticides on them, please let me know I couldnt find anything on the internet about this!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Apples are good for you!.
Non organic anything is bad for you because of the pesticides!.
lettuce, carrots, potatoes, tomatoes, peppers!.!.!.
not sure about washing them though if that would effectively take away the pesticides especially since they spray it on the trees before they even get apples!.!. but it can't hurt to wash them!.
Pesticides are bad for you!.!. cancer!.!. I'm not sure!. They won't do anything good to you though!. Buy organic if not, then wash your food!. Pretty much your only options!.
Just because food is sold doesn't mean that it doesn't cause problems!. Aspartame is the biggest one that comes to mind, and all artificial sugars!. Aspartame got denied 8 times before getting approved by the FDA and its been linked to birth defects, Alzheimer's, brain disorders and a bunch of other things!.
Plus, not all fruit and veggies are grown in the US that are sold here!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Yes, pesticides are bad for you!. The average lifespan of migrant farm workers is 45- they have a nasty habit of dying from cancer!.
The USDA exists for the sellers, not the buyers, and is concerned with keeping ConAgra and Monsanto happy, not with your health!.
The FDA is supposed to oversee food related public health issues, but they are overworked, underfunded, and not really terribly concerned about health!.
Washing thin skinned produce, like apples and grapes, does not remove the pesticides!. The chemicals penetrate the fruit!.
Buy organic!. I wouldn't consume a conventionally grown apple!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Yes, apples are one of the dirtiest fruits around!. They have lots of pesticides and wax on it!. That's why you MUST buy organic apples!. Peaches are the #1 dirtiest fruits, and apples are the second most pesticide-ridden, Watch out for strawberries too!. Some of the cleanest fruits are blueberries, bananas, and pineapples!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
They're much better for you than junk food!. The pesticides can be washed off - just rinse them well, concentrating on the top and bottom parts, where the pesticide can collect!. The wax to make them shiny is edible and is actually in a lot of the foods you eat (for example, Skittles)!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Apples are good for you!.!. The only bad thing is that sometimes they spray chemicals on the apples to keep them looking nice and fresh!. But that's why you wash the apple for!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
It's better to buy organic and give the apple a good wash before eating!.
Reason to buy organic is that hopefully the apple has been grown without or minimum chemicals and if you buy locally, then there are less chemicals needed to keep the fruit fresh in transit!.
Edited to respond to additonal comments!.
the cleaning expert suggests washing fruit and veg in a solution of 3 tablespoons vinegar in a quart of water or a weak salt solution of 4 teaspoons salt in a gallon of water!.
I use salt water, but I might try the vinegar!.
Apparently this method will wash off insecticides!. (But it won't be able to wash off chemicals which have been absorbed)!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
