Will fruit kill me?

Question

I was thinking about the fruit I eat at the DFAC and how we're told to rinse it in cold water before we eat it, this is to get rid of the pesticides, I'm told. But then I thought about it really deep and I realized that they put the pesticides on the fruit when it's still on the tree and then they spray the fruit with wax before they box them up for shipping. The wax is probably to help preserve the fruit as well as make it look good but nevertheless, it's on top of the pesticides, protecting them from the cold water that makes us feel safe as we eat the fruit. Are there any measures being taken to protect us from the poison on the fruit?

Answer 2

the fruit won't kill you, the pesticides will do some damage unless your allergic to the fruits, then it is the fruits that will kill you. Seriously, I remember a vegetable rinse that was suppose to remove the pesticides fit something or something fit I think. You should be able to find it a a local grocery store. On the safe side, I would peel the fruit, tossing the peel away, and hope that the fruit didn't absorb the chemicals through the skin/peel.

will fruit kill you? well pretty much everyone i know eats it, and theyre still alive. if this bugs you so much, you could always eat food that's grown without any chemicals sprayed all over them to enhance and speed up growth and size. buy an apple tree.
