  Here's what we know about the risks of glyphosate, atrazine, and other pesticides and how to lower your exposure.

The article from Yahoo News discusses the potential health risks associated with pesticides found in food, highlighting a study that detected traces of pesticides in a variety of common produce items. The research, conducted by the Environmental Working Group (EWG), found that nearly 70% of non-organic produce sampled had detectable levels of pesticides, with some samples containing residues of multiple pesticides. The article emphasizes the EWG's "Dirty Dozen" list, which identifies the fruits and vegetables with the highest pesticide residues, including strawberries, spinach, and kale. It also mentions the "Clean Fifteen" list, featuring produce with the least pesticide residues, such as avocados and sweet corn. The piece advises consumers to consider buying organic produce to minimize exposure to these chemicals, although it acknowledges that the overall risk from pesticides in food is considered low by regulatory agencies.
