3/3) Los vegetales que contienen más agua, acumulan más pesticidas; así que es preferible que los tomates, uvas, pepinos, etc que consumes a diario sean orgánicos. ➤Lo mismo con la avena; uno de los alimentos que más suele estar contaminado con glifosato. https://t.co/SYa5YhoXBx

@timspector Yes, in Environmental Health. We found interesting results on the pesticides topic, rather high exposure and interesting associations with gut microbiome. Results of the organic diet comparison were mostly suggesting we need new interventional studies. https://t.co/vjl4BVz2mc
