Chinese scientists claim that washing fruits and vegetables is not enough.
Cucumbers and apples need not only to be washed thoroughly, but also peeled.
This recommendation is given by specialists from Anhui Agricultural University, reports Daily Mail .
This will help protect the body from pesticides, which are associated with the risk of developing liver cancer, scientists reported.
They conducted special testing using highly sensitive film. The study proved that washing does not remove pesticides from fruits and vegetables.
Thiram and carbendazim are dangerous for humans. They save the harvest, but at the same time they can harm health.
For example, carbendazim causes headache, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, and problems with coordination.
But scientists note that the benefits of eating vegetables and fruits are many times higher than the risks associated with eating foods containing pesticides.
To minimize risks, researchers recommend peeling cucumbers and apples if the fruit was not grown on your own plot.
