What is Organic Anyway?
Organic fruits and vegetables are grown without synthetic pesticides or GMOs; however, the use of certain organic pesticides is permitted.
Organic livestock are raised without antibiotics or growth hormones and given access open spaces where they can graze and feed naturally during most of the year; however, organic livestock may also be confined during parts of the year and, importantly, can be grain-fed.
Finally, it’s important to note that organic packaged foods are permitted to contain 5% non-organic ingredients and food suspiciously labeled as “made with organic ingredients” can contain even more non-organic ingredients. In brief, organic may be healthier, but it’s still a good idea to wash your organic produce, buy pastured eggs and grass-fed meat, and understand that organic processed food can contain non-organic ingredients.
The Environmental Working Group’s resources are the go-to for this topic. They are a reliable source of information. Website here: www.ewg.org/foodnews/summary.php. There is little to be added to their content as, for the most part, this is simply a matter of how our agricultural system raises different foods.
To Buy Organic
Meat! The combination of “grass-fed grass-finished” and “raised without any antibiotics ever” labels is just as good, if not better. This ensures a good Omega-3/Omega-6 ratio and that you won’t screw up your microbiome or contribute to the superbug antibiotic resistance epidemic.
Strawberries are known to be heavily treated with, and soak up, pesticides.
Spinach. Look carefully at a spinach leaf. Notice how it’s spongy? Spinach’s spongy leaves soak up pesticides. “Spinach and kale samples had, on average, 1.1 to 1.8 times as much pesticide residue by weight than any other crop.”
Kale. “More than 92 percent of kale samples had two or more pesticide residues detected, and a single sample could contain up to 18 different residues. The most frequently detected pesticide, found on nearly 60 percent of kale samples, was Dacthal, or DCPA - classified by the Environmental Protection Agency since 1995 as a possible human carcinogen, and prohibited for use in Europe since 2009.”
Peppers.
Tomato.
Celery.
Not to Buy Organic (“More than 70 percent of Clean Fifteen fruit and vegetable samples had no pesticide residues.”)
Avocado! As a rule of thumb, anything with a tough outer skin that you don’t eat you don’t have to buy organic. This includes keto’s golden child, the avocado! “Less than 1 percent of samples showed any detectable pesticides.”
Anything else with a tough outer skin that you don’t eat, including… onions,
Kiwi (super-rich in Vitamin C)
Guava (richest source of Vitamin C)
Melons (sugar bomb)
Pineapple (sugar bomb)
Mango (sugar bomb)
Papaya (sugar bomb)
Asparagus. Cleared by the environmental working group for having low-pesticide residue.
Broccoli. “”
Cauliflower. “”
Eggplant. “”
Mushrooms. “”
“In 2012, the American Academy of Pediatrics issued an important report that said children have “unique susceptibilities to [pesticide residues’] potential toxicity.” The organization cited research that linked pesticide exposures in early life to pediatric cancers, decreased cognitive function and behavioral problems.”
Good News… Change is Fast!
Environmental Research, 2019. www.sciencedirect.com/science...
“The most recent of several studies evaluating the impact of an organic diet found that after only six days of eating organic food, adults and children had on average a 60 percent reduction in the levels of synthetic pesticides measured in their urine, compared to when they were eating a conventional diet.”

I grow my own veggies and share them with the bugs that way we both get organic goodness.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
Agreed if bugs won't touch them should we eat them 😁🌷🐞🐝🐜
Lmao
That’s great 😁
The only way to KNOW that YOUR VEGETABLES ARE ORGANIC.
So sad that people’s food and health is messed around so much by the corporations, they provide a steady stream of customers to the medical industry
So true!!!
Not me. I went Keto. They are greedy and evil.
true, someone once said "The healthcare system is a business."
@@terryjames548 lmao especially you.
I’m gonna be the devils advocate here and say that these gmo/pesticide veggies have their place. If all veggies were forced to be organic, they would be much more expensive. If veggies were expensive, people would turn to cheap processed foods
Great info. One thing i want to point out for everyone is that when to buy the safe non organic fruits be sure to check the label number so you know that it was grown conventionally and is not gmo. Basically make sure it has only 4 digits. If it has 5 digits and starts with an 8, then its gmo.
Thank you so much, new mama and it’s overwhelming the things to know 😔
@@douxhealth-beauty3196 it can be overwhelming but you're putting in the work and doing the best you can! We can't do it all but we can do our best!!
Thank you that’s good to know I had no idea so helpful
Wow thanks 👍👍
I was always told ,if you eat the skin/shell , then it needs to be organic. So bananas are ok but tomatoes should be organic for example 🧐
Dr. Gundry says you should never eat the skin or the semen of tomatoes because of lecthins.
@@Viv8ldi leptins?
@@Viv8ldi lectins arent even dangerous??? they're in alot of plants. stop buying into the fear mongering of these influencers.
Good criteria!
It's just not true though. That's why here in Australia they sell wax-dipped bananas to use less pesticides, and also organic bananas are common. I get anaphylaxis whenever i eat non-organic bananas, so something is definitely getting into them
LOVE this video love when you post these kind of videos about food. I first found you searching up vitamin absorption!!! Thank you such useful info
i’ve been watching you for a several months and everytime u post a video i look forward to watching them.. your vids are very informal and very helpful to me 🙏🏽
Thanks Thonas!! I appreciate this video. I was just about to go to the store to stock-up
Thank you for the great information!! 🥝🥦🥑🍓🧅🍌
I really appreciate you sharing this video thanks man 🙏🏾
For a couple of months I drank a smoothie everyday that had some kale, until my doctor did a routine blood test on me for toxicity; I was off the chart in thallium! No more kale for me!
😱
Well, this is good news. I really appreciate hearing about Avocados and Asparagus. Avocados are very inexpensive here in Mexico and we eat a lot of them, but getting Organic was impossible. Glad I have not been killing myself. Asparagus I can get at COSTCO Merida. Sometimes they have Organic at that incredibly high price and mostly not. Again, glad the not is OK. Thanks again Thomas. More demystification.
Great info, thanks for sharing!
Great content Thomas, thank you
Thanks for always giving great advice, love your channel.
This video was great, thanks Thomas I am really enjoying all of your content.
Great video Thomas!!! Thanks sooo much for sharing!!! 😊💕
Great information, thank you so much!❤
Thank you, thank you, thank you, tomes a thousand! Your videos are super interesting and ALWAYS helpful!🎉
Thank you. Great video and info. Best list ever.
Clear, to the point, helpful info. Thanks
Love that kale clarification
Hi Thomas, these videos are very helpful. Thank you.
Super useful info. Thanks Thomas. 👍
Great information thanks man... 👌👍❤️
There are other reasons to buy organic than just what it does to your body. It helps protect the quality of the soil, wildlife, and farmworkers. Organic is often more labor-intensive as well so it often requires more people to take care of it and harvest it.
Um, no it doesn't! Organic food is in no way healthier or better for the environment. Organic farming uses natural pesticides anyway, but these are WORSE for you, not safer! Organic food is 10 times more polluted with mycotoxins ands takes up to 25% more land than conventional farming. GMO's are better! Long live Monsanto!
@@ronaldmcdonald8303 Get lost Ronald! More people are realizing your food and restaurants are total trash!! 😂 Nice try.
@@AW_Hobbies And "organic" is a healthier choice is it? I don't think so! Cheque out the food standards agency if you don't believe me. McDonald's is the most popular fast food on the planet anyway so I'm not fussed what you say! I have actually BEEN to an organic college, and their food were disgusting!
@@ronaldmcdonald8303 Maybe so but Chic-fil-A has the highest profit margin! And McDonald's saw a big decline in the last quarter! Also your red hair and makeup look stupid so eat that for breakfast, meanwhile I'll be having my farm fresh eggs beotch!! 😂
@@AW_Hobbies Well the food at my college was so bad that I went for 5 days starving, their "farm fresh" eggs were stale and slimy. What are you talking about, McD's is insanely popular, despite you're one off statistics, they make over 20 billion $ a year on average, you can't argue with that. Anyway I'm sick of the insults, there nothing new and I've decided that I'm not going to bother speaking to you anymore. I just can't be bother having the same old 2 and throw all over again, yet again! Good day to you sir and goodbye!
You have changed my life with your videos 😃.....how about more recipes!!! I am forever grateful to you
Please do a video on COLLAGEN POWDER and heavy metals
A strangers advice on the internet would be to look into all of the methods of detoxing heavy metals like aluminium. We are currently living on a planet saturated in it.
F..k collagen powder from great lakes it made me so sick for months....had no idea why I was so sick when I forgot to take my daily collagen powder for 2 days.... and I got better didnt know why....when I was about ro take it again it hit me in the head.....never again will take that garbage, be aware people.
More videos like this please! Great practical info
Thank you! Great information
This is actually real easy. I keep the Clean Fifteen (look it up) and Dirty Dozen (look it up) on my phone, and refer to it while shopping. By the way, these lists CHANGE, due to industry practices changing. Update your lists occasionally.
I eat organic tomatoes (when the price is reasonable) and celery. Peppers, too (bell, and spicy), which I eat rarely, I try to get organic. I don't eat sweet fruits and berries at all. I eat a lot of avocados, broccoli, cauliflower, mushrooms, onions, cabbage and asparagus, without worrying about them being organic. This is based on the lists above.
The bottom line is, for me, I don't eat much (by volume) on the dirty dozen anyway (celery and spinach are the big exceptions.) I also buy organic garlic, because the price isn't much different and I don't eat a mountain of it. Oh, I also buy my spices organic if I can.
A
I like your catchy name, "CARBage Man" LOL
Clean fifteen and Dirty dozen ...
Are those Apps ??
I save up and buy spices and other wholefoods in bulk - much cheaper in the long run!
How come you don't eat sweet fruits and berries?
Thanks Thomas, good one!
This was a great video man
Great video thanks Thomas
Yours videos are always welcome, they are amazing interesting, very helpful, and most of all, we do have the best health orientation! Thank you! 👏👊👍🇧🇷🇺🇸🇬🇧
Thx for this! I've bern wasting so much money, trying help my microbiome heal and saw people saying that pesticides could slow that process down. Now I can buy more food with the same $. 🤗🤗
Mushrooms have vitamin D2, we need D3 and it's very hard or close to impossible for most humans to make D3 out of D2.
The plant still absorbs the pesticides through the roots. Despite the tough skins of some- herbicides, fungicides roundup etc. still gets in there; it is all connected. I’m blessed enough to afford to choose organic always, unless it’s the farmer’s market and I believe the farmer (who didn’t jump through the financial labeling hoops to get organic-certified!)
Yes it’s true
Agreed
This was really good thanks😊
Thanks Thomas. Great video.
Awesome motivating video
That’s a good job Thomas!
Would be nice to have a video on UK veggie standards, probably more strict towards pesticides?
Not really. A lot of meat nowadays in Britain has unknown origins (scant labelling) and the produce isn't as flavourful as it used to be 30 years ago!!
That’s sorted, so to the point, thanks.
Thanks Thomas!
I love this video!! These r the type of videos thar make my life easier while out there shopping!!! Still confused about buying coffee and dark chocolate.. Do i go for the organic coffee/organic dark chocolate? Any advice any...?🙄
Doesn't kale have all but one of every essential amino acids, making it a great body building food? This is the first time I've heard someone downplay its nutritional benefits.
Actually if you have thyroid problems kale is actually not good for you. But you have to eat a lot of it to make a difference
thank you very much for this informative video.
Greetings from germany
Great video,, thanks a lot,,
Thanks!!
Wow thanx lot....I love this video.... pls can you make a video about collagen powder.... GOD BLESS YOU
thank you so much. 8 mins that made my life easier.
Thank you sooo much
thank you Thomas !
Thanks!
Thank you Thomas! Very much appreciated 😊 What about organic spices!? Like black pepper? Paprika etc?
Please tell Thrive to deliver to HAWAII! But thank you because this was one of the most direct, brief and effective vids.
Thank you, helpfull adjustment in Keto :)
My friend once again u speak facts
The problem with Thrive is that it's only for the US!
Sean Awesome The problem with the US is that you need something like Thrive to get good stuff.
Hey, that means you could start a similar buisness in your country!
If you are in the UK I can recommend a bunch of great places!
Adam Scott Fit let me know were please im in the uk 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
@@cristinapamart2818 sure thing! So for fruit and veggies: www.riverford.co.uk/ and for meat: www.greenpasturefarms.co.uk/ and 2nd place: pipersfarm.com (I use both as Green Pastures do not do chicken breasts but their red meat is next level)
Thanks Thomas, good information! What about herbicides? They are sometimes used more widely than pesticides and probably on most of the vegetables you mention. Aren't they as dangerous as pesticides?
Great content as usual...thank you! Brussels sprouts organic or no?
Thanks for this video, here in México is very difficult to get certified organic food... Costco is the go to option!
This should become a series!
Thomas, quick question; does a ginger shot (99% pure) break a fast? thanks
Thank you. What do you think about blue/black/rasp-berries, grapes, and stone fruits?
Are there simple household test devices available to check pesticides levels of food and water in the household?
Thomas, could you cover the spices too in an upcoming video? I think it'd be as equally important which spices and herbs to buy organic and non-organic as sorting fruits and veggies in the organic list.
I second this!
Video like these are what makes your channel dope.
Dope makes you gay
Organic peppers are the most expensive produce out there. They sell just 2 in a pack and each one come to be almost $3.
lol i feel this all the things he said like strawberries, tomatoes, all soo expensive organic 😭
Ahhh I heard kale was amazing, now I have a garden full of them, at least I have tomatoes, peppers and carrots to keep me motivated on my garden
I love chard. I guess I should start growing it.
I grow organic kale too. Glad I do.
Cebile Sibiya watch this video Thomas did 11 months ago where he talks about how amazing Kale is and how you should INDULGE in it unlimited (skip to 7min 40sec): ruclips.net/video/yhev5NDzKHM/видео.html ......Compare that to this video where Thomas says not to eat Kale because they're not all that healthy...hmmm 🧐🧐
@@michaeldavis1291 thank you... I was so confused because I knew I must have heard it from Thomas or dr berg. Thank you for the link :-)
I picked asparagus when I was a kid. It grows very quickly, like in a few days so it doesn't even have time to accumulate any pesticide or other bad stuff.
Wow. Life changing.
man I have been wondering all week about what veggies to get organic in order to reduce my monthly spendings :) Thanks Thomas! Does this list apply to Veggies produced in the EU as well?
Probably not, I think the EU has higher standards than US. That said, here is the "dirty dozen, clean fifteen"
www.producebluebook.com/2020/03/25/dirty-dozen-clean-fifteen-lists-updated-for-2020/#
Europe has 0 genetically modified plants.
@@KeyofDavid5778 I think Boris is signing a bill so we will be getting US food in UK very soon. I am having a bit of anxiety over it all
Omg Thomas!!! Thanks for your content! You are just the best! Can you start a school lol thanks sir for sharing your knowledge.
Thank you
I have been concerned about organic brocolli from Cal Organics because I read that they use fracking wastewater to water the plants...any advice on how water laden with benzene will impact the plant ?
Thank you 😊
Wow thanks
Thanks😆
Waiting for this
Thanks for another great video, Thomas! Quick question. You mention that these foods either have higher or lower pesticide residue on them as a determining factor of which list they will go on. With respect to the foods that you don't have to buy organic, what about the pesticides that they absorb from the ground and water? Do the pesticides not get in them that way as well?
Grow yer ownn
I was excited to see grass fed grass finished ground beef at SAMS the others day!😆
Thank you 🙏
Thank you very much for these constructive video. Thomas, you really made my day by making this amazing video.
😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣😅😅
“Thanks Thomas - this helps my next organic shopping day!” 👍🏻

Thanks Thomas for sharing with us this special video of us learning to eat more fruits and veggies,I dont really eat that much fruit and veggies but your video motivates me to start incorporating more in my Southwest diet.Thankyou again Thomas,You Rock!
Good video. I was eating kale left and right. Will sub kale for greens now
This time of year, dandelion, chickweed, and amaranth (pigweed) are free for the picking, and those are superfoods.
Thanks for sharing. I live in Atlanta area, so I'll look for it.
Did you look into how GMO food actually embeds into our macro RNA? I read a study prob about 6 years ago, showing all the bad results from GMO. Might wanna look into it.
You mean the mRNA? The m stands for messenger btw :)
Wow! Not organic asparagus!? Mind-blown!?
Thank you for sharing. This helps!
Wow, just the video I needed! Thank you very much!
But I'm Europe (E.U.) so I wonder what is your take on pesticides here if u know...
could you please do a video on types of protein powder and what's the best for what body type or body goal? if you've already done a video on these, my bad but could you please send me a link to that video? would appreciate it
Wow, everyone pushes Kale.
Not true. Delauer actually has it on a list somewhere of over rated foods.
Thank you dear
I've read some very diverse studies as well which pointed to everything you mentioned except I just like to point out the more common sensical way to look at it which some studies did mention that I read about which is anything low-lying in the dirt like lettuce kale strawberries you should really try and get organic because a lot of the times it's the dirt that accumulates pesticides and although organic is lower generally speaking in pesticide residuals the dirt is not and generally speaking has higher levels of contaminants which is why anything low lying can and probably will be higher in contaminants
Pretty short list Thomas let’s do another episode please!
What about blueberries and raspberries? We usually get organic out of an abundance of caution but is it necessary?
I heard blueberries are very susceptible to pesticides and don’t have a strong protection from them. So yeah, would assume the same for most berries. Could be wrong though
All berries absorb a lot of pesticides. Do your best for organic on berries.
I eat a LOT of blueberries and I always buy organic when it comes to those. Not only because of pesticides use, but also the GMO factor. Blueberries and raspberries have damn near become golf ball size because of GMO bullshit...
FlavCity went over this topic before. Awesome for the reminder tho! Keep it up ,Thomas:)
A note - At farmer’s market, just ask farmers. Some don’t use pesticides or herbicides and use good organic methods that increase minerals and other nutrients in the food. They often have higher than organic certification standards but can’t afford to pay for certification. Also, it takes 5 years of organic growing to get certification even if you’re growing organic or higher for 4 years. Moral of the story - know the farmer!
Farmers markets will lie to you just as well.

If it has a thick peel, I usually buy it conventional, and I always get the dirty dozen organic especially berries.
Thanks
