Ouch. I knew it was bad, but this makes it downright frightening. WhatsOnMyFood.org "is a searchable database designed to make the public problem of pesticide exposure visible and more understandable."

Some horrifying examples:

Blueberries

7 - Known or Probable Carcinogens
22 - Suspected Hormone Disruptors
12 - Neurotoxins
6 - Developmental or Reproductive Toxicants

Apples

5 - Known or Probable Carcinogens4
19 - Suspected Hormone Disruptors
10 - Neurotoxins
5 - Developmental or Reproductive Toxicants

Bottled Water

2 - Known or Probable Carcinogens4
3 - Suspected Hormone Disruptors

That's better than Ground Water, though:

5 - Known or Probable Carcinogens4
11 - Suspected Hormone Disruptors
2 - Neurotoxins
3 - Developmental or Reproductive Toxicants

Yikes! This is unconscionable.
