The Dirty Dozen and The Clean 15.

Readers, today I have some very useful knowledge for each of you. In fact, the knowledge I am about to impart on each of you is about to printed and placed upon our refrigerator here at home. Yes, it is that useful. And that important.

Are you ready? Are you excited?

In my research I came across the Dirty Dozen and theClean 15 lists. The Dirty Dozen is a list of the twelve items one should always attempt to purchase organic and The Clean 15 are fifteen foods that you do not have to worry so much about. Within the last month I have found myself the participant in several conversations about buying organic foods. Is it worth the time and money? Does it really make that much difference in one’s health? These lists help to answer those questions buy presenting consumers with the foods that we should take the time and possibly spend the extra money on as well as the ones we should not fret over. For those of you that have been involved in these recent conversations or have often wondered about the above questions, I present to you the Dirty Dozen and the Clean 15…
