I make carrot celery juice everyday-our family drinks about 3 pints...use
about 2.5 lbs carrots a day and one bunch of non organic celery-was thinking
of trying non-organic carrots- the Calif organic carrots don't use certain
pesticides and are labeled organic but they still use pesticides...-the non
organic carrots are about 1/3 the cost---
any opinions...
thanks

==================
Wash them, and use what you want. There really is no difference if they are
both fresh.

Heaven forbid, but if you or anyone in your family ever comes down with
lethargy and/or depression, it'll be because of the very widely used
Organophosphate pesticide in the veggies. I say *in* because it's systemic.
You can't wash it off.

Most countries' governments still insist it's totally harmless in spite of
hundreds of farmers who have been crippled by being exposed to it in the
form of sheep dip.

And of course, no-one even thinks about the effect the stuff must have on
the sheep that are totally immersed in it! I caught the overspray from it
while out in the country once and have had a certain amount of depression
ever since - and a symptom virtually unique to Organophosphate exposure -
allergy to synthetic perfumes. They didn't bother me before.

In the UK, organic is supposed to mean natural fertiliser and *no*
pesticides - except for mushrooms, where they're still allowed to use
non-organic manure to grow them on. So there's not much point in paying
extra for those.

thanks-I am checking to see of there is a big price difference-so far the
cost is about the same..organic/inorganic...
But I really enjoy my 2 pint glass of carrot /celery brew -in my mind I know
it helps to put such healthy ingredients in my body.
