Next time you buy your fruit check out the labels that are on them. If the label has 4 numbers the fruit was conventionally grown, If the label has 5 numbers and it begins with a 9 the fruit was organically grown and if it is labeled with 5 numbers and begins with an 8 the fruit was genetically engineered.
Ex:
Grapes
4026 - conventionally grown
94026 - organically grown grapes
84026- genetically engineered grapes
Steer clear of genetically engineered anything!
The best fruits and veggies you can buy are from your local farmers and farmer's markets. If you shop at a conventional grocer make sure you take a second look at the stickers on the fruits you are purchasing.
Not all fruits are created equal!
