Summary

Are your fruits and vegetables helping your health, or silently sabotaging it?
 
 
On today's show, we break down the Environmental Working Group's 2026 report, which analyzed over 54,000 produce samples to reveal which fruits and vegetables are safest, and which ones are covered in multiple man-made chemicals.
 
 
We explore the surprising prevalence of pesticides, herbicides, fungicides, and "forever chemicals" in everyday produce, and share how to shop smart (and safely) using the Clean 15 and Dirty Dozen lists without feeling restricted.
 
 
You'll also learn practical and cost saving tips for peeling, choosing frozen options, or swapping certain produce to reduce exposure.
 
 
Join me on today's Cabral Concept 3721 to learn more about chemicals in your food and how to make your produce choices smarter, safer, and better for your wellbeing.

Every year the Environmental Working Group comes out with their dirty dozen and clean 15.

0:27.2

Every year I like to cover it, and this year is even different.

0:31.0

Here's why. It's not always just about the top 15 foods that you can eat non-organically, right?

0:36.7

And the dirty dozen, which means don't even

0:39.0

think about purchasing unless they are organic. But this is more so a public service warning and

0:46.1

announcement of what they found in these studies. You know, on social media, a lot of people love to

1:29.3

most toxic products out there, the cleanest products out there, and which ones are best for you

Diet. Again, I'm not a, I don't get sponsored by them or anything like that, but they've been talking
