Love your humor! Please keep being humorous! Please ignore the neggies! We need more Drs like you two, being informative, caring and funny! Far too many Drs who do not have good bedside manner. I’m sure they’re top notch Drs. I looove baby spinach and beet tops! Apples, can’t digest the peel, so have to peel them then eat the fruit. Peppers, ugh! Lol. 😊❤️🇨🇦.

Buy some 5gallon grow bags if space limited. Plant bell pepper next to strawberries and watch them both flourish. Key factor, don't over water and don't fertilize until budding. I gleaned 15 peppers off one plant and it's still baring produce. About everything else, i grew or soak then peel before eating when organic isn't available.

[@jefflassle6994]

Love your channel. Two things from a former scientist at US EPA on toxic compounds and pesticides among other things. Pesticides are either topically/surface applied or systemically applied, the later gets into the meat of the fruits and veggies. Insecticides/pesticides are regulated more so now with their half lives restricted and an LD50 high enough where it is not very toxic for food consumption meaning most likely by the time you get the fruit or veggies, the pesticide is long gone. On topical applications the fruits/veggies are washed prior to sending them to market and can be washed at home. However, if they come from a foreign country all bets are off unless they are caught by government inspectors and most are. They used to use insecticides for bug control called parathion that has a 3.6mg/kg dermal Ld50 for humans. If that's the pesticide, you'll get about one bite out of the apple before you go bye-bye. Fortunately, it has been banned along with many others in that toxic range.

[@TalkingWithDocs]

Wow Jeff thanks for sharing your expertise. We feel a little safer now. Thanks for watching and subscribing

[@jefflassle6994]

@@TalkingWithDocs just remember, herbicides are more prone to cause issues on food than other pesticides and have been more so associated with carcinogenic and mutagenic etiologies. Another notation is the differences between fat soluble pesticides, i.e., DDT, (accumulates in the body with a 20-year half-life) to water-soluble, i.e., (what goes in comes out) 2,4-dichlorophenoxyaceticacid. 2,4-d was once associated with miscarriages, but I proved them wrong years ago. And then there's Agent Orange, or a equal mixture of 2,4-d and 2,4,5-t, the latter being the culprit on that issue being it allows the formation of dioxin to be present during the manufacturing processes. 2,4,5-t has been banned. Most herbicides/insecticides allowed for crop protection are relatively safe today compared to previous years. Their half-lives are relatively small today. So okay to eat your kale for whatever reason anyone would want to. Yuck.

[@TheNewsJenorator]

🙌🤗💃 Great list and website thank you. And your humor is organic. Lol I’m quite surprised I would’ve thought celery would be number one because of so much water that’s in it and absorbs. I always buy organic celery and anything else organic where and when I can. My daughter did a research on dried herbs you get at the store and how they can be full of heavy metals and toxins. I try to grow most of my herbs anyways but she really opened my eyes to how bad they were if they’re not organic.

As long ago as the 1990s I had hospital coworkers that bought "special" soap to wash all produce they bought. I use dilute dish soap and friction. Since just like proper handwashing friction removes the surface "bugs". But if it's absorbed, darn I love spinach!

Y'all are great! A couple of decades ago I asked our pesticide sales rep which crop had the most chemical, he said, "Tobacco. There is no way I'd put that stuff in my mouth!". Anecdotally, when people found out I used to farm, I got lots of questions, and those that were the most concerned about pesticides had big appetites for tobacco, and illicit drugs. Go figure. I've had vaccines and prescription drugs make me far sicker than any pesticide.
