Is there a pesticide problem?

• A 1996 report by the National Academy of Sciences concluded that both synthetic and naturally occurring pesticides are consumed at such low levels that they pose little threat to human health.

• The benefits of a diet rich in fruits and vegetables far outweigh any pesticide-related risks.

• Eating at least five servings of fruits and vegetables daily - as recommended in the Food Guide Pyramid - can help reduce your risk of cancer and other illnesses.
