What does it mean to be toxic?

According to Dr. Amy O'Hara, Derma Health Institute, it means these fruits and veggies carry high levels of pesticides on them that contain toxic materials, which have been shown to cause everything from dizziness to cancer, as well as headaches, skin rashes, and liver toxicity.

Bottom line, O'Hara says these are the most critical fruits and veggies to buy organic.

Clients of Derma Health Institute learn how foods can help them with their skin issues, hormones, food allergies and other health related issues.

This list also relates to a healthy diet they coach clients on in stabilization after an hCG diet plan, an ultimate fat burning diet where you can lose 40 pounds in 40 days.
