I give everything a good rinse buy you guys are scaring me enough that I may start doing more ! DH doesn't rinse anything despite my repeated attempts to gross-him-out into doing it
....
Is there any specific evidence or research people have seen that suggests one specific type of wash over another to remove pesticides? (i.e. vinegar and water, versus diluted dish soap, etc.)
....
I would guess that ingesting soap & detergent was just as bad as ingesting pesticides. Vinegar is OK, but what else is in that acetic acid?
Good subject... Will be very interesting....
I use a mixture of vinegar and water for all of the vegetables and berries that I use [-]for a shake[/-] to sit in for 15 minutes, then rinse well in an attempt to get rid of as much pesticide as practical. Also, I only use organic if I can.
I rinse anything I might actually eat (not bananas, obviously, because I don't eat the peel). I also scrub lightly with my fingertips while rinsing.

I thought Cosmo Kramer had a great idea when he was preparing everything in the shower.
