    Z is right.

    Your gut has more bacteria in it than you have cells in your body. If they weren't there you wouldn't digest anything and be dead.

    Brushing off debris and giving it a quick rinse under the tap should be all that you need to do.

    Fruits are never clean the only way to lower the bacteria and chemicals is to cook the hell out of them.your doing your self more harm by weakening your immune system by trying to never be around anything 'dirty'.sex is very bacteria ridden.do you break out the bleach and scrub pads and scour it to death everytime before you do that?well you could but wont do you much good just like trying to clean your grapes.

    About the damage you are doing to yourself by ingesting polluted contaminated food. My keyboard went crazy again, authorities on my back trying to shut me up. They are kind of enemies of the truth you know.

    Well.. Fruits are loaded with pesticides nowadays. Not just over them, on the outern layer, also inside of them.
    Authorities and consumer protection agencies tell us they do not contain but a small quantity tolerable amount of these pesticides but I think different people have different degrees of resistance or tolerance to these chemicals. But that does not mean I am going to freak out about it and start obsessing over this issue. after all, even if I do it is not likely they are gonna make a law forcing who produces these products to say to the customers just how much of these chemicals are in each peach over my complains. Isn't it? our senses are sort of useless at detecting eventual health hazards in our food, so it should be the companies producing it responsability to give us all the informations we need to know just exactly what we are shoving down our throats. Or you can even buy a batch of radioctive apples grown near a radiations leaking nuclear power plant completely clueless about the damage you are going to do to y

    Television says yes,
    And television is always correct.

    But I on the other hand always assume fruit is clean and eat it how ever it comes across me. :D

  • Go organic, but fruit is clean. Meat on the other hand is contaminated with faeces, and milk is contaminated with faeces blood and puss.

    Since there's a new story here named "Is it normal to make sexual jokes with fruit?" - I think the answer is Yes.

    Think of germs as people. There are good ones and bad ones. Some wants to harm you while others will help you. Good people, bad people. Good germs, bad germs. Same difference. Don't worry too much, you'll just go crazy for nothing.

    Just rinse once or twice. Think of eating what's left of the germs as strengthening your immune system.
