Today we reveal to you which fruit you should eat very rarely or not at all. This is considered the most dangerous fruit in Lidl, Kaufland, Carrefour and other stores. It is very dangerous because it has the most pesticides. What the specialists discovered.
This is the most dangerous fruit. Who made the discovery
There is a fruit that is very dangerous and is found in all the big stores in the country.
The recommendation of the World Health Organization (WHO) is to eat three pieces of fruit and two portions of vegetables every day.
Be careful which fruits and vegetables you choose
In this context, it is very important to choose them correctly, because not all fruits are as healthy as they seem.
It must be said that most of the food we buy in supermarkets is full of chemicals and pesticides. Their presence is due to the fact that they are the only substances that can protect crops from pests.
The most dangerous fruits are strawberries, according to studies done in America
Even so, there are some foods that are more contaminated than others. Thus, when it comes to fruits, the most contaminated are strawberries. This reveals a recent study done in the field, in the USA.
Thus, scientists from the US Department of Agriculture tested strawberries and determined that they contained an average of 7.8 different pesticides per sample. A very high figure compared to 2.1 pesticides per sample for the rest of the tested fruits.
How to sterilize fields before they are planted with strawberries
Thus, it has come to light that many of the strawberry farmers use poisonous gases to sterilize the fields before planting them. This is a preventive measure to kill weeds, pests and any living thing present in the soil.
It should also be noted that there are some benign pesticides that do not have any harmful effect on human health. But there are others that, unfortunately, are linked to some diseases, such as neurological or reproductive problems, hormonal changes or cancerous tumors.
The two most dangerous pesticides that exist today are the following:
Bifenthrin: The Environmental Protection Agency and California regulators have designated it as a possible human carcinogen. However, researchers found it in almost all strawberry samples tested in the United States.
Carbendazim: Scientists have also found that this pesticide can harm the male reproductive system. Thus, the European Union banned it for security reasons.
