Test Food Safe Before Buying Them

Many of us may need to buy these fresh food from market everyday, while you may think that you are helping your family stay healthy by opting for fresh foods, these foods may actually be more harmful than they are good for you. Produce is often grown with the use of pesticides. These chemicals are designed to kill pests and not only sensically pose a danger to you and your family, but are scientifically proven to. By identifying foods that are most commonly grown with high levels of pesticides, you can avoid having to resort to these conventionally-grown options. Here are the 9 foods that are infamous for testing positive for large amounts of pesticides. It is necessary to test food safe before buying it.

• Apples
There is nothing like plucking a fresh apple from the tree and taking a bite, but these fruits have tested positive for over 30 different known pesticides! Farmers may spray apple trees with pesticides as many as 10 times during the growing process, making 99% of apples test positive for at least one pesticide residue.

• Strawberries
These delicious fruits are packed with pesticides. Conventionally-grown strawberries are susceptible to fungus, so to prevent fungus growth they can contain as many as 65 different pesticides. These fruits are grown with chemical fertilizers that are designed not only to kill fungus but also eliminate hormone disruptors, carcinogens, neurotoxins and more.

• Blueberries
Testing positive for more than 50 pesticides, the thin layer of skin on blueberries allows chemicals to easily contaminate the fruit. Even though the antioxidants in blueberries are excellent for your family’s health, a single sample tested positive for 13 pesticides! The multitude of pesticides are linked to an array of human health hazards, such as cancer, hormonal issues, neurological disorders and more.

• Lettuce
The worst chemicals used on lettuce include fungicides, carcinogens and neurotoxins. The delicate nature of lettuce makes it more susceptible to decay and fungus, so toxic chemicals are often sprayed on the vegetable to inhibit mold growth. Lettuce typically tests positive for 50 chemicals – so always make sure you wash the lettuce you bring home!

• Peaches
The sweetness of peaches attracts a wide variety of pests, so conventional farmers offset this issue by using toxic chemicals. Endosulfan, a potent pesticide that has been linked to birth defects, is the most commonly used pesticide for peaches. Peaches contain more than 60 pesticides, so they must be washed completely before you give them to your family.

• Hot Peppers
Hot peppers are of special concern for public health because they have been found laced with particularly toxic pesticides including organophosphate and carbamate insecticides. These are chemicals that are no longer widely detected on other produce, either because of legal restrictions or voluntary phase-outs. If you can’t buy organic hot peppers, cooking them will typically diminish pesticide levels as well.

• Tomatoes
Tomatoes, particularly cherry tomatoes, are susceptible to about 30 different diseases, so growers use pesticides as an easy way to protect these plants. Because their protective layer of skin is so thin, tomatoes test positive for over 60 different pesticides that can danger your family’s health.

• Bell Peppers
Peppers are sprayed with a combination of up to 50 different pesticides. Farmers often use methyl bromide during the growing process to protect their crop. A potent paraquat is often used on peppers, and this type of pesticide is more toxic than others. No matter the color of bell pepper, this fruit always has a high pesticide residue.

• Potatoes
While potatoes are America’s favorite vegetable, over 35 pesticides have been detected in potatoes by the USDA. That is partly due to the fact that a chemical treatment is used in potato fields before eyes are planted. Farmers also use pesticides on the first sprouts that crop up to prevent pests from eating potato plants before they grow.

Wash your foods or how strictly you buy organic products, it can't not really clear the pesticide inside the food, by using the Greentest food tester, you can measure the level of pesticides found in the food you give your family. Because pesticides can be linked to birth defects, cancer, neurologic and endocrine system disorders, particularly in children, testing for pesticides (Nitrate) is extremely important.

What is Popular Health Foods

Everyone is talking about these popular health foods. How good for you are they? Health Foods means without too much harmful element like Nitrate and Nitrite. Of course you can estimate your flesh food like vegetables and fruit level of nitrate by our nitrate tester- Greentest.

 

Kale 

Of all the leafy greens, none has achieved star status quite like kale has. Add it to a meal or a smoothie and you're surrounded by a beatific glow. It's a member of the Brassica genus (along with broccoli and Brussels sprouts), a category of plant foods that are linked to a lower risk of certain cancers. Not only that, but kale is high in nutrients you need for bone health — vitamins A and K and calcium — plus it delivers almost a day's worth of vitamin C. While kale has much to offer, don't neglect other leafy greens, like collards and mustard greens, which provide as much nutrition as kale.

Chia Seeds 

These dark teeny seeds seem to have edged out flaxseed in popularity. They're popping up everywhere from puddings to gel-like drinks. Like flax, chia is a good source of ALA, a type of plant-based Omega-3 fat thought to promote heart health. But the benefits don't stop there. Just 1 tablespoon of the seeds delivers a whopping 5 grams of fiber (20 percent of the amount women need each day). Try sprinkling them on yogurt or cereal.

Acai Berries 

This small, dark-purple fruit is native to South America. Its deep hue indicates a high concentration of anthocyanins — antioxidants that help promote heart health and lower cancer risk. A study published in the journal Nutrition found that acai berry pulp lowered total and LDL ("bad") cholesterol levels and modulated the spike in blood sugar after consumption by a group of overweight individuals.

Quinoa
These seedlike grains, which unfurl into a spiral when cooked, are lauded as a high-protein, lower-carb whole grain. This ancient grain is native to the Andes and has exploded in popularity in the United States in recent years. Quinoa has a unique nutrient profile, delivering 4 grams of protein, 3 grams of fiber and a helping of many vitamins and minerals, such as folate, potassium and iron, in a half-cup serving. It also has some of the same omega-3 fatty acids that are found in walnuts and chia seeds.

Almond Milk 

Almond milk has surged in popularity, in part because it's low in calories and is seen as a good alternative to cow's milk. Find one with no added sugar (the sweetened kinds add about 2 teaspoons of sugars per serving) and look for one that has calcium and vitamin D. Even fortified almond milks are very low in protein, meaning they're not a direct replacement for cow's milk. Commercial almond milks also often contain additives. For a 100-percent-natural almond milk, try making it yourself by soaking raw almonds in water overnight, blending the mixture and straining through cheesecloth.

Wheatgrass

Even before the explosion of fresh juice stands and personal juicers, little shots of bright green wheatgrass juice came into vogue. While wheatgrass does pack a lot of nutrition into those little shots — it boasts vitamins A, C and E, plus calcium and magnesium — it doesn't necessarily trump spinach or any other dark leafy green, which often offer more of these nutrients than wheatgrass. And as for other health claims, such as lowering cancer risks or boosting immunity, none have been proven.

Coconut Oil
Fat has traditionally been categorized into two groups: "good" (unsaturated) and "bad" (saturated). But coconut oil is turning that paradigm on its head. Coconut oil is largely made up of medium-chain saturated fats, which have a number of health benefits, including heart health (they're rapidly changed into energy in the body and don't cause an increase in cholesterol, as other kinds of saturated fats do). Other research has shown that coconut oil, which has antioxidant effects, can help to quell the inflammation that leads to heart disease.

 Fertilizers that contain necessary elements for plant growth are used for cultivating fruits and vegetables. However, misuse of production technology, usage of prohibited fertilizers, pesticides and chemicals, as well as an increased level of fertilizer concentrations in the soil can all result in a serious damage to your health. Of all the substances that are transferred to the soil from fertilizers, nitrates are one of the most harmful if consumed in excess. Continuous intake of food with a high nitrate content may lead to an elevated risk of serious diseases, which is also a representative foodsafety problem.
