As it is often said “We are what we eat” and believe it or not, in today’s scenario, we are inadvertently consuming fruits and vegetables which are highly contaminated with various dangerous chemicals, artificial waxes and plenty of unknown pathogens. It is hard to digest but true to know that the fruits and vegetables we consume today have abundance of pesticides, herbicides, weedicides, fungicides, artificial oil & waxing and a lot many harmful pathogens which are caused during negligent transportation and manhandling of the eatables.

According to recent news reports, the fruits and vegetables in India are laced with surface toxic contaminants like insecticides, pesticide residue, bacteria, dirt, wax, grime, fungicides, artificial ripening agents like calcium carbide etc. These chemicals cannot be washed away with just plain water. The concentration of these chemicals are sometimes significantly high as compared to fruits & vegetables from other countries across the globe. These chemicals might not have a visible immediate effect, however long term consumption of such eatables could be a reason for cancer, reproductive damage, stunted physical and mental growth in children etc. Keeping all this aside, heavy manhandling of the fruits and vegetables during the transport system makes them more prone to germicidal and bacterial contamination before reaching the final destination.
