Some contain very little residues of the chemicals or none at all while others contain some of the chemical residues which are very harmful to your body and their levels increase with the amount of the grocers used. It is thus advisable to buy the kind of groceries that are chemical-free. You can always find them in the market though most are sold at a little higher price than others.
