18 Different Foods That Cause Cancer

15. Non-Organic Fruits

This one is a doozy. For the most part, fruits are the healthiest things you can consume apart from vegetables and water. Non-organic fruits however are strange ducks; while they are naturally good for you (non-organic bananas still have potassium, non-organic grapes still have beta-carotene, etc.), they come with a gaggle of toxins from dangerous pesticides such as atrazine, thiodicarb, organophosphates, as well as high-nitrogen fertilizers. Non-organic fruits will contain their natural vitamins, but these toxins can cause damage to humans, especially in our reproductive systems. Furthermore, a lot of farm fields use sewage from major cities as a form of fertilizer. Organic farms will never do this, so you’re better off going that route. As the Invisible Gardener Andy said in 1972, “Don’t panic, it’s organic!”
