While this may be true, my biggest question is why the heck didn't they also look at the affect of pesticides and herbicides!?!? isn't that like saying that cigarettes are not found to be addictive - though we have not yet looked at the affects of nicotine?

I can see where there would be little, if any nutritional difference. Treating plants and fruit trees for insects and other vermin is quite different, one can harvest immediately with pepper sprays, garlic sprays, etc.; with herbicides and insecticides, most say 7 to 10 days with good washings, plus fine print which is intended to be overlooked, many possible side effects. I use both, when the label reads 7 to 10 days, I give it another few days, wash well, and process well, just for my piece of mind; I only glow in the dark during the summer and fall months
