I don't care what the FDA says, I wash fruits and vegetables with dishwashing liquid and a vegetable brush, I rinse them carefully of course because I believe that liquid detergent residue and that kind of stuff are not good for us. At least in Mexico this is a must because although they deny it, many fruits and vegetables are irrigated with wastewater, so you have to really wash and disinfect them thoroughly, even if you are going to cook them.


As to hands, well I wash them constantly, and my kids are taught to do the same, especially before eating or preparing food and after going to the bathroom.Why does the health department tell us to wash germs off our hands with warm/hot water and soap, but the FDA t
Some of the ingredients in soap could be toxic if ingested, so you don't want the residue on your food.
Because the Health Dept. and the FDA have no relationship to each other. What do you want to do? Wash your fruits and veggies in hot soapy water?
most veggies are coated with either pesticides or wax. If you use cold water to wash them, then you should also be scrubbing them with a vegetable brush to get the top layers of all of that stuff off. soap and water is still best for your hands. You're best bet with veggies is too go organic. It's not just for hippies anymore!
If you can see germs on your hands you must have dam good eye sight that's all I can say. or very strong glasses. Hope this has helped.
