Couldn't washing the food before cooking or serving achieve the

there are some opinions that washing with a salt lemon solution does
reduce the "icide" levels. I have been using a brix device to
evaluate nutrition levels and by that method organic vegetables have
much higher nutrient levels.

If a poison is systemic, you can wash all day long and still ingest it.

Where did you get the BRIX device? I thought they only measured sugar levels.


You might want to visit the brix group on yahoo.
I paid to much for mine and could have gotten a temp compensating for
less than I paid for mine. The best people to ask are in the brix
group. I have one to measure salinity as well. I am a beginner here
but it's really an valuable way to determine quality

Extech sells manufactures several, I have their DO, pH nd light
meters and they are good quality.
