Researchers found 70 percent of the juicy red morsels have traces of pesticides. That is higher than any other fruit or vegetable - pushing strawberries to the top of the Environmental Working Group's 'Dirty Dozen' list.
研究人员发现70%的草莓有农药残留。这一数字要高于其他任何水果和蔬菜--并将草莓推上了环境工作组“有害食品”名单的首位。
While the effects of pesticides are unknown, studies detailed below have linked the chemicals to cancer, obesity, Parkinson's disease, diabetes, and infertility.
虽然农药的影响尚未可知，但是下文详述的研究已经将这些化学物质与癌症、肥胖、帕金森、糖尿病和不育联系在了一起。
Completing the top five, researchers singled out spinach, nectarines, apples, and peaches as particularly contaminated.

For those who want to steer clear of pesticides, you're best sticking to Mexican cuisine: sweet corn and avocados were awarded the top spots of the EWG's 'Clean Fifteen' list.
对于那些想要避开农药的人来说，你们最好选择墨西哥产品：墨西哥甜玉米和鳄梨在环境工作组“15大无污染食品”上排名榜首。
To compile the list, researchers analyzed 48 popular fruits and vegetables based on an analysis of more than 36,000 samples taken by the USDA and the Food and Drug Administration.
