Here's a good article with a list of good to bad produce.

It says how to wash produce to greatly reduce the toxin levels.
btw, Sucralose was discovered while trying to develop a pesticide. Chlorine is often used in pesticides. They swapped 3 chlorine atoms into sugar in hopes of making a pesticide that attracted the insects with sweetness. It is 320 to 1000 times sweeter than sucrose. And, it has those 3 organic chlorine atoms.
Although they can identify the toxins as they are excreted in urine, there is no definitive understanding about what those toxins do when ingested. Some are more sensitive to these things that others.

Thanks for the response, mark.
Can you further explain what you meant when you said that organic strawberries still contain high levels of these pesticides? Does that go for all organic fruits and vegetables or only strawberries? I have been eating large quantities of organic fruits and veggies so I want to be cautious if this is the case.
I have done research on the comparison between conventional and organic with regard to residue levels and almost all of them show close to 0 percent of all kinds of pesticides for organic. The highest value i have seen which is rare is like 1-2 percent.
