Ndi zipatso ndi ndiwo zamasamba ziti zomwe zili zotetezeka kwambiri?

Cholinga cha EWG Guide ndikuthandiza ogula kumvetsetsa kuti ndi zipatso ziti ndi ndiwo zamasamba zomwe zili ndi zotsalira za mankhwala ophera tizilombo.

Thomas Galligan, Ph.D., katswiri wa poizoni ndi EWG akufotokoza kuti Dirty Dozen si mndandanda wa zipatso ndi ndiwo zamasamba zomwe ziyenera kupeŵa. M'malo mwake, EWG imalimbikitsa kuti ogula asankhe mitundu khumi ndi iwiri ya "Dirty Dozen", ngati ilipo komanso yotsika mtengo:

• Strawberries
• Sipinachi
• Kale, collards, ndi masamba a mpiru
• Nectarines

• Mphesa
• Belu ndi tsabola wotentha
• Cherry
• Mapichesi
• Mapeyala
• Selari
• Tomato

Koma ngati simungathe kupeza kapena kugula mitundu yazakudyazi, zomwe zimakula bwino ndizabwino komanso zathanzi. Mfundo imeneyi nthawi zambiri anthu saimvetsa bwino, koma ndikofunika kuzindikira.

"Zipatso ndi ndiwo zamasamba ndizofunikira kwambiri pazakudya zopatsa thanzi," akutero Galligan. "Aliyense ayenera kudya zokolola zambiri, kaya zamba kapena zachilengedwe, chifukwa phindu la zakudya zomwe zili ndi zipatso ndi ndiwo zamasamba zimaposa kuvulaza komwe kungachitike chifukwa cha mankhwala ophera tizilombo."

Ndiye, muyenera kusankha organic?

EWG imalangiza ogula kuti asankhe zokolola zakuthupi ngati kuli kotheka, makamaka pazinthu zomwe zili pamndandanda wa Dirty Dozen. Si onse amene amavomereza uphungu umenewu.

"EWG ndi bungwe lomenyera ufulu, osati la boma," akutero Langer. "Izi zikutanthawuza kuti EWG ili ndi ndondomeko, yomwe ndi kulimbikitsa mafakitale omwe amathandizidwa ndi - omwe amapanga chakudya cha organic."

Pamapeto pake, kusankha ndi kwanu monga wogula golosale. Sankhani zomwe mungakwanitse, kupeza ndi kusangalala nazo, koma musawope zipatso ndi ndiwo zamasamba zomwe zimabzalidwa nthawi zonse.
