3. Strawberries

Unless you buy organic strawberries, you could be getting a huge dose of fake estrogens every time you take a bit of these juicy red berries.

That’s because one of the most common sources of xenoestrogens is pesticides which cling to the strawberries’ edible skin.

In fact, strawberries top the 2018 “Dirty Dozen” list – fruits and vegetables that are contaminated with the highest levels of those pesticides and therefore fake estrogens.

The rest of the list includes:

Spinach
Nectarines
Apples
Grapes
Peaches
Cherries
Pears
Tomatoes
Celery
Potatoes
Sweet Bell Peppers
