Keep your vegtables safe from pesticides

Dr. OZ did a show on pesticides on vegtables.  It was shocking to learn how that they are loaded with up to as many as 60 different pesticides on one piece of fruit or vegtables.  The worst? Strawberrys.  But don't give up on fresh fruits and vegtables, he gave a recipe for a non-toxic vegtable wash you make make cheaply and easily:

Ingredients:
1 cup water
1 cup distilled white vinegar
1/2 of a lemon juice

Pour all ingredients in a new clean spray bottle, mix well.

For things like spinach, or strawberries, you can soak them for about 1/2 hour in the solution to get the pesticides to rinse off.
