“ The professor behind the findings said the fact that some fruits contain traces of pesticides may explain why some of them heighten, but others cut, the risk of type 1 diabetes.”
That makes more sense.
That makes more sense.
Though a comparison against staple grains like wheat and soybeans wasn't analysed, corn had low pesticides.
If it was purely an amount of pesticide issue, the study would've highlighted low pesticide options like avocado, asparagus, or melons.
It could be amount x type of pesticide used. Maybe it's a single pesticide that is used mostly on Bananas but not berries, that is at fault here.
The edible part is enclosed in a thick skin that is discarded. And all the small-time banana growers I know, who use pesticides on other crops, just let their bananas grow naturally.
