    Following is the transcript of the video:
    This is because some produce, like apples, soak the chemicals inside, making it impossible to wash off. Some opt for the organic ingredients but produce grown organically can still have pesticides.
    A recent study suggests baking soda may be the answer. Simply mix some baking soda with water to make sodium bicarbonate, then soak your produce for 12-15 minutes.
    The researchers did this to apples they treated with 2 pesticides: thiabendazole and phosmet. After the apples soaked in the baking soda mix for 15 minutes, neither of the two pesticides were left on the apple.
    This is because sodium bicarbonate degraded them.
    The study shows how to remove 2 pesticides from fruit.
    There are still over 100 pesticides that can make it onto your food. Is a pesticide-free diet becoming impossible?

      exact reason why I got my own peach tree! Just cannot grow lemons and oranges here.... A plum tree will join my persimmon and peach I hope. Apples I get from a local orchard who does not wash and then spray the fruit after harvest. Green items I buy less than 10%, I grow! Just can't grow it all in my little back yard.

      We have a serious problem with the food supply for decades. Look at our food it's not food it's chemicals. Along with our water full of chemicals. Look at our food ingredients compared to other countries that have banned the chemicals we use. Even usda organic don't mean shit it's all The illusion of choice when 10 companies own all the food we buy at grocery stores. Even more scary is Look into supplements they don't even have a fda to test what's being sold to the American people as vitamins and other health supplements or work out supply. Found Marco plastics rocks dirts and so much more but more stunning is over half of the brands they tested didn't have anything they claimed to have in them 🤦🇺🇸 we should have been protesting years and years ago 😢
