CHOICE Says Consumers Should Buy Organic
CHOICE Magazine says they tested 31 samples of strawberries from around Australia, apart from Tasmania and South Australia and found pesticide residue on all of them, some at concerning levels. Zinn says if possible consumers should buy organic, even though they are most expensive. Zinn says some researchers believe that long term exposure to pesticides could increase the risk of some cancers in people and impair development in children. Source: Media Monitors 2008
