I know something about apples and pesticides. Can you produce a study proving your assertion?

You may not be aware of this but farmers have much higher cancer rates than other occupations. Indeed, in my rural county in northern Illinois there are some cancer rates that are much higher than national average...because of the pesticides and fertilizers sprayed in area farmlands.

Here is a link that shows there has not been enough research done to “prove” casual relationship but the indications are very strong. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/9498903
