Organic foods are great when you can get them, but they aren't always available year-round or at an affordable price. Sometimes conventional is the most practical option.

1. Coconut products - Studies show very low pesticide residue even in conventional coconut water, pulp, and oil.

2. Onions - Onions contain potent natural pesticides, so farmers don't need to add a ton.

3. Avocados - Their thick skin protects the fleshy fruit.

4. Honey - You can't control where bees roam, so don't worry about organic. Look for raw and local where you can find it.

5. Asparagus - Studies consistently find very low levels of pesticide residue on conventional asparagus.

6. Sweet potatoes - The tubers don't generally get much chemical treatment.

7. Bivalves - Farmed bivalves are similar to wild. Aquaculturists don't need a bunch of chemicals to raise them.

Plants are amazing for brain and hormonal health!! Our cells need them!!🥦🥝🍅🍑🍓🫐🥬🥒🫑

THE SPECTRUM OF DIETARY NEUROTRANSMITTERS

When I eat plant foods, I am reminded that I'm not just eating macronutrients (protein, carbohydrate, fat), micronutrients (vitamins, minerals), and phytonutrients (polyphenols, carotenoids, alkaloids, organosulfur compounds), but also neurotransmitters (and hormones).

The research doesn't clearly conclude that eating food sources of intact neurotransmitters changes our systemic neurotransmitters to the extent that they influence brain levels. Yet, I think it's interesting to begin to think about all the many ways that these molecules might be having activity in the body beyond their traditional roles in the brain.

Perhaps they are not just 'neurotransmitters' but plant messengers to our cells that modify function. It's interesting how initial terms (like 'neurotransmitters' or 'hormones') given to biological or botanical compounds may be limiting in scope once we find out their actual functions. After all, plants are expansive, like us.

Conversely, it is possible that eating foods rich in what we refer to as "neurotransmitters" has similar results to how they work in the brain. In other words, it would be fascinating to study whether eating plantains and pineapples leads to greater serotonin levels and resulting shifts in mood or whether eating more mung beans, peas, and spinach can help us with memory.

In the meantime, I'll keep eating my rainbow of plants!

The 2022 Shopper’s Guide to Pesticides in Produce has just been released. Common foods such as strawberries and spinach top the list again this year. Organic is the route to go for anything on the Dirty 12 list. The Produce on the Clean 15 list can be safely purchased conventionally grown.

Great quote by Tracy Harrison.

Teach! If people are not taught that Crap Food is at the root of Loss of Health, they will continue to be dependent on a disease-care industry that largely says Food Doesn't Matter.

Great article on Histamine Intolerance. Histamine is often overlooked when identifying the source of symptoms.

Many foods can cause symptoms such as hives, acid reflux and migraines. Those suffering from such symptoms could be dealing with histamine intolerance.

Hummus is a great addition to a nutritional eating plan but only if it does not contain harmful contaminants such as glyphosate. I recommend making your own with organic ingredients. It is so easy and much healthier than store bought hummus. Avoid glyphosate as much as possible!

Independent laboratory tests commissioned by the Environmental Working Group found glyphosate, the notorious weedkiller linked to cancer, in more than 80 percent of non-organic hummus and chickpeas samples, and detected at far lower levels in several or...
