That is shocking that they contained so many different pesticide residues. I thought they would test better than that.

Hi Neville, I think Elliot’s point is that while there isn’t concrete evidence, where should the burden of proof lie? Just because we don’t know the affects yet of all these chemcials doesn’t mean they aren’t there or possible. Studies like this are important for people who want to make informed choices for themselves. You may decide that government standards are fine for yourself and family, and someone else might be alarmed at what governments actually allow. Either way, the information should be accesible.
