    I’m glad I read the entire article to finally find the last sentence of the next to last paragraph, ‘And always purchase organic; apples are part of the ‘dirty dozen.’
    I would like to have seen that in the FIRST sentence!

    Apples are maybe first on the list of heavily sprayed fruits. I not sure that even peeling them gets rid of the toxins from the sprays.

  2. The pesticides are sprayed onto the fruit while it is growing, then they coat the apples in a layer of wax to make them look good. To clean them you need to soak them in a warm solution of Milton and give them a gentle scrub, this gets rid of the wax and some the the pesticides. Joanna

    That's great news. I love apples and I always purchase the organic ones. I eat about $10 worth every couple of days.

  4. Are all the different colors of apples equal in the amount of ursolic acid or is there one color in particular that's better than the others?

  5. I have always believed that peels
    of fruits and veggie have some other if not, more vital nutrients and
    non-nutrient content. And unless I’m sure that they are organic and fresh, I seldom
    peel when taking them raw or use as cooking ingredients. I also make sure that
    they thoroughly washed.
