According to the Center for Science in the Public Interest, "For healthy adults, exposure to pesticides in food pose fewer health risks than saturated fat, salt intake & exposure to tobacco smoke; people that eat more fruits and vegetables have a lower risk of heart disease. (Note: a fetus or small child should be protected from pesticides but most baby foods, even non-organic like regular Gerber process their foods in a way to eliminate almost all pesticide residue)
