Is there an extreme difference between doing an organic juice fast vs. regular fruits/vegetables?
I am beginning a juice fast in a couple of days. I have been pricing fruits & vegetables (organic vs. regular) and have found that a significant price difference exist between the two. I am wondering if the type of produce I use will alter the effectiveness of the detoxifying effects of the fast.
I understand that all organic is the best way to go, however the cost of buying all Organic Produce would add up rather quickly. Are there fruits and vegetables that should always be used in the organic form? Are there non-organic produce items that are acceptable for a juice fast?
This is from a book called, “The Purification Plan”
Choose organic produce whenever possible. You can detoxify your body to the best of your ability, but if you continue to take in more poisons, you’re more or less running in place. Study after study has shown that pesticide residues are found in nonorganic produce. (some residues are even found in organic produce, but the quantities are minute in comparison).”
