Beware the Dirty Dozen: Are these Top 12 Pesticide-Laced Fruits and Vegetables in Your Grocery Cart?
Health & Wellness expert Alicia Stanton, MD suggests that consumers go organic for these favorite produce items
Glastonbury, Conn. (May 5, 2010) – While the long term effects of environmental pollutants and pesticides on our bodies are still largely unknown, there is much health conscious consumers can do to manage their exposure to toxic chemicals. Dr. Alicia Stanton, author of Hormone Harmony: How to Balance Insulin, Cortisol, Thyroid, Estrogen, Progesterone and Testosterone to Live Your Best Life, discusses the Dirty Dozen – the twelve produce items identified by The Environmental Working Group to have the highest levels of pesticides.
Dr. Stanton recommends that consumers buy organic versions of these otherwise healthy foods as often as possible to help reduce the level of pesticide residue in their bodies:
- Peaches
- Apples
- Bell peppers
- Celery
- Nectarines
- Strawberries
- Cherries
- Pears
- Lettuce
- Spinach
- Potatoes
- Imported grapes
“I realize it isn’t always feasible to buy 100 percent organic, but setting priorities for your family’s diet helps,” said Dr. Stanton. “Studies have shown that when organic foods replace conventional ones in the diets of children, levels of key pesticides in their blood drop to nearly undetectable levels after only five days.” 1
Not only do organics protect us from toxins, they also have better flavor and are 25 percent more nutritious. Conventional crops are bred to grow faster and larger, which reduces the amount of nutrients a plant takes up from the soil and increases the amount of water content. Organic crops grow slower and reach a smaller size, but are more nutrient dense. Organics also are richer in antioxidants since they must fight harder to ward off pests.
“If organics are not readily available or affordable, I would recommend filling the sink with water and a little dishwashing liquid, washing your fruits and vegetables thoroughly, and rinsing them well,” said Dr. Stanton. “This can be a very effective way to remove the pesticides from the peel of fruits and vegetables, which is often packed with vital nutrients.”

Anti-Aging Expert Physician Debuts New Book on How to Achieve Hormone Harmony and Maintain Optimal Health
Dr. Alicia Stanton, Chief Medical Officer of BodyLogicMD, releases her groundbreaking new book outlining the widely unknown, but significant connection between our diet and hormones and the effects it has on our overall health
Glastonbury, Conn. (September 30, 2009) – Alicia Stanton, MD, Chief Medical Officer of BodyLogicMD, the nation’s largest network of the most highly trained anti-aging physicians, announces the release of her debut book, “Hormone Harmony: How to Balance Insulin, Cortisol, Thyroid, Estrogen, Progesterone and Testosterone to Live Your Best Life.” Co-authored with veteran health writer Vera Tweed, Hormone Harmony aims to guide women and men on a path toward achieving optimal health as they age by balancing hormones through proper nutrition, lifestyle and environmental changes. Published by Healthy Life Library, Hormone Harmony comes out September 30 and is available on Amazon.com.
“I have dedicated my practice to not only treating patients suffering hormonal imbalances, but helping patients achieve and maintain optimal health as they age,” said Dr. Stanton. “We are living longer but ultimately more stressful lives. In the wake of the economic downturn, most of us literally can’t afford to ‘take it easy.’ We have challenging careers and are multitasking as caregivers for our children and aging parents. All of these factors take a tremendous toll on our bodies, and the combination results in a disruption of hormonal balance.”
In Hormone Harmony, Dr. Stanton breaks down all the factors that contribute to hormone imbalances. Many people know that hormones such as estrogen, progesterone and testosterone naturally decline with age. The most obvious manifestation of this occurs in women during menopause, but men also experience the effects of age related decline in hormone levels. Dietary, lifestyle and environmental factors greatly affect our hormonal health as well, but their impacts are less widely understood. In her book, Dr. Stanton outlines the lifestyle changes and treatment options available to restore hormone balance and achieve overall health and wellness.
Each chapter details the relationship between diet, stress, environmental toxins, exercise, and supplements and our bodies’ hormones. Dr. Stanton offers realistic guidelines for adopting healthy habits in one’s daily life. “This book provides the foundation for maintaining a healthy lifestyle that anyone can stick with long term,” she said.
“My hope for this book is that readers will learn the impact hormones have on our entire bodies and how they can maintain hormonal balance and enjoy optimal health at any age.”
