The 2017 "Dirty Dozen" list is here, and there's a new food to watch out for...
The Environmental Working Group has just released its annual list of the twelve types of produce most likely to contain pesticide residue. This year, spinach shot up to second place (right behind strawberries... boo!), while PEARS have vaulted up to sixth place after not even cracking the top 12 last year.
