7. Whole grains are doused in pesticides

The concern that whole grains are doused in pesticides isn't backed by the evidence. Whole grains do carry more pesticide residue than their refined counterparts, but the trace amounts of pesticides found on grains aren't linked to the digestive problems some fear. While choosing organic grains is a personal choice that may be based on environmental concerns or pesticide use, it's important to look at the science rather than the scare tactics when it comes to our food supply.
