You can lower your pesticide intake substantially by avoiding the 12 most contaminated fruits and vegetables and eating the least contaminated produce.	</b>		<p>&nbsp;This year we have expanded the Dirty Dozen<sup>™</sup> with a Plus category to highlight two crops -- green beans and leafy greens, meaning, kale and collard greens - that did not meet traditional Dirty Dozen <sup>™</sup>criteria but were commonly contaminated with highly toxic organophosphate insecticides.  These insecticides are toxic to the nervous system and have been largely removed from agriculture over the past decade. But they are not banned and still show up on some food crops. </p><br>    <div>		<div>	<div>Dirty Dozen Plus<sup>™ </sup>Buy these organic</div>		</div>	<div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>	<img src="http://static.ewg.org/reports/2012/foodnews/img/apple.jpg" border="0" alt="Apple" title="Apple" />Apples</div></div><div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>	<img src="http://static.ewg.org/reports/2012/foodnews/img/celery.jpg" border="0" alt="Celery" title="Celery" />Celery</div></div><div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>	<img src="http://static.ewg.org/reports/2012/foodnews/img/redpepper.jpg" border="0" alt="Red Pepper" title="Red Pepper" />Sweet bell peppers</div></div><div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>	<img src="http://static.ewg.org/reports/2012/foodnews/img/peaches.jpg" border="0" alt="Peaches" title="Peaches" />Peaches</div></div><div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>	<img src="http://static.ewg.org/reports/2012/foodnews/img/strawberries.jpg" border="0" alt="Strawberries" title="Strawberries" />Strawberries</div></div><div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>	<img src="http://static.ewg.org/reports/2012/foodnews/img/nectarine.jpg" border="0" alt="Nectarines" title="Nectarines" />Nectarines– imported</div></div><div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>	<img src="http://static.ewg.org/reports/2012/foodnews/img/grapes.jpg" border="0" alt="Grapes" title="Grapes" />Grapes</div></div><div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>	<img src="http://static.ewg.org/reports/2012/foodnews/img/spinach.jpg" border="0" alt="Spinach" title="Spinach" />Spinach</div></div><div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>	<img src="http://static.ewg.org/reports/2012/foodnews/img/lettuce.jpg" border="0" alt="Lettuce" title="Lettuce" />Lettuce</div></div><div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>	<img src="http://static.ewg.org/reports/2012/foodnews/img/cucumbers.jpg" border="0" alt="Cucumber" title="Cucumber" />Cucumbers</div></div><div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>	<img src="http://static.ewg.org/reports/2012/foodnews/img/blueberries.jpg" border="0" alt="Blueberries" title="Blueberries" />Blueberries – domestic</div></div><div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>	<img src="http://static.ewg.org/reports/2012/foodnews/img/potatoe.jpg" border="0" alt="Potatoe" title="Potatoe" />Potatoes</div></div>		<div><br></div>	<div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>	<img src="http://static.ewg.org/reports/2012/foodnews/img/green_beans_imported.jpg" border="0" alt="Green Beans" title="Green Beans" />Green beans</div></div><div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>	<img src="http://static.ewg.org/reports/2012/foodnews/img/kale.jpg" border="0" alt="Kale" title="Kale" />Kale/Greens</div></div>		<div>	<div>&nbsp;<br><br><br></div>		</div>	</div><div>		<div>	<div>Clean 15<sup>™ </sup>Lowest in Pesticide<br></div></div><div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>	<img src="http://static.ewg.org/reports/2012/foodnews/img/&#111;ni&#111;ns.jpg" border="0" alt="&#079;ni&#111;ns" title="&#079;ni&#111;ns" />Onions</div></div><div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>	<img src="http://static.ewg.org/reports/2012/foodnews/img/sweetcorn.jpg" border="0" alt="Sweet Corn" title="Sweet Corn" />Sweet Corn</div></div><div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>	<img src="http://static.ewg.org/reports/2012/foodnews/img/pineapple.jpg" border="0" alt="Pineapple" title="Pineapple" />Pineapples</div></div><div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>	<img src="http://static.ewg.org/reports/2012/foodnews/img/avocado.jpg" border="0" alt="Avocado" title="Avocado" />Avocado</div></div><div><div><br></div><div>	<img src="http://static.ewg.org/reports/2012/foodnews/img/cabbage.jpg" border="0" alt="Cabbage" title="Cabbage" />Cabbage</div></div><div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>	<img src="http://static.ewg.org/reports/2012/foodnews/img/peas.jpg" border="0" alt="Peas" title="Peas" />Sweet peas</div></div><div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>	<img src="http://static.ewg.org/reports/2012/foodnews/img/asparagus.jpg" border="0" alt="Asparagus" title="Asparagus" />Asparagus</div></div><div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>	<img src="http://static.ewg.org/reports/2012/foodnews/img/mango.jpg" border="0" alt="Mango" title="Mango" />Mangoes</div></div><div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>	<img src="http://static.ewg.org/reports/2012/foodnews/img/eggplant.jpg" border="0" alt="Eggplant" title="Eggplant" />Eggplant</div></div><div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>	<img src="http://static.ewg.org/reports/2012/foodnews/img/kiwi.jpg" border="0" alt="Kiwi" title="Kiwi" />Kiwi</div></div><div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>	<img src="http://static.ewg.org/reports/2012/foodnews/img/cantelope.jpg" border="0" alt="Cantelope" title="Cantelope" />Cantaloupe -
