美國消費者保護團體EWG(Environmental Working Group)最近公布2015“最髒的14種蔬果”，依據蔬果所遺留的農藥殘留量多寡排序，並建議民眾在選購時，最好買有機農產品以保健康。

這份清單是調查一般家庭常買的48種蔬果農藥殘留量，其中辣椒和羽衣甘藍是今年新上榜的最髒蔬果，另外12種農產品和往年相同。根據美國農業部所做的農藥 殘留檢測，發現這些蔬果中殘留高含量的劇毒農藥，其中以有機磷和氨基甲酸酯類的殺蟲劑最多。這些類型的農藥會破壞人類的神經係統。

盡管檢測出的蔬果農藥殘留量仍符合北美標準，但若經常食用，最好選擇有機農產品，以避免過多的農藥不能排出身體，對人的免疫係統造成傷害。

加拿大有機農業中心主任漢默斯特(Andrew Hammermeister)指出，不隻是農藥問題，能安心食用的有機農產品，還能避開轉基因生物，生長激素、抗生素、防腐劑、食用色素、香精等各種化學物質。同時，因為種植過程采用較自然的生產方式，不灑農藥，以天敵對抗的方式減少蟲害，對自然生態的生物平衡性高。

EWG建議，平時可選用需要去皮的蔬果，以減少農藥吃進肚中的風險，若真喜歡吃下列這些農產品，就最好選購有機產品。

　　“最髒的14種蔬果”，依序為：

1. Apple(蘋果)2. Peaches(桃子)3. Imported Nectarines(進口油桃) 4. Strawberries(草莓)5. Imported Grapes (進口葡萄)6. Celery(西芹)7. Spinach(菠菜)8. Sweet Bell Peppers(甜椒)9. Cucumber(青瓜)10.Cherry Tomatoes(櫻桃蕃茄)11. Snap Peas(進口青豆)12. Potatoes(馬鈴薯)13.Hot Peppers(辣椒)14. kale/Collard Greens(雨衣甘藍)

The 14 Kinds Of Produce With The Highest Levels Of Pesticides

The Environmental Working Group (EWG) has released its annual Shopper's Guide, including its 2015 Dirty Dozen list, a useful tool for identifying (and avoiding) the most pesticide-contaminated produce on the market.

EWG analysts uses U.S. Department of Agriculture and Food and Drug Administration (USDA) pesticide-residue testing results as a basis for ranking 48 different fruits and vegetables. The total number of pesticides detected on a crop and the percent of samples tested with detectable pesticides are also factored in. The report is timely, given that a recent study found people who buy organic produce have much lower levels of organophosphate insecticides inside of their bodies compared to people eating conventionally grown fruits and veggies. Pesticides have been linked to a number of health problems, including certain cancers and lower IQ in children.

"The bottom line is people do not want to eat pesticides with their fruits and vegetables," said Ken Cook, EWG's president and cofounder. "That's why we will continue telling shoppers about agricultural chemicals that turn up on their produce, and we hope we will inform, and ultimately, empower them to eat cleaner."

The list also includes two additional produce items—leafy greens and hot peppers—since they are frequently contaminated with insecticides that are particularly toxic to human health, EWG notes.
