Tim Spector教授：本期节目讨论了某些常见食物中令人惊讶的高农药残留水平，特别是燕麦、大米、含水量高的水果和蔬菜（如黄瓜、梨、油桃、草莓）等，其中草甘膦和有机磷酸酯等杀虫剂和除草剂含量较高。他建议消费者优先选择有机食品，特别是经常食用的食物，如番茄。此外，他还建议消费者可以通过清洗（加入小苏打效果更好）和去皮等方式减少农药残留，并指出一些农药残留相对较低的水果蔬菜，例如牛油果、洋葱和芒果等。他还比较了欧美国家在农药使用监管和农药残留水平上的差异，指出美国农药使用监管较为宽松，农药残留水平通常更高。最后，他还提到有机食品市场正在快速增长，消费者应该关注食品安全，并根据自身情况选择合适的应对策略。
