Organic. It’s lower in pesticides. Honest.

A very interesting article but the bit below bothered me - why would anyone

want to put dish soap onto their fruit & vegetables is beyond me, bad enough

that we use something like that to clean out dishes. Use pure water

(bottled) to clean your fruit & veg and no soap is required - the pesticides

that are put onto most of them are in them from growing anyway - and not just

on the outside.

---Marianne, I'm under the impression that food grade peroxide

achieves the same effect, without any added dangers. Some

chiropractors recommend Clorox. Somehow,I prefer peroxide over either

Clorox or dishwashing detergent. I've heard of some groups that even

advocate using peroxide as a cleanse, so I'm sure that it is safe to

ingest.

Not sure I'd want to do that however! :-)

Cheers,
