PSA: soak your produce in a baking soda solution to break down chemicals.
*To all the doubters this is easily verified
Surface pesticide residues were most effectively removed by sodium bicarbonate (baking soda, NaHCO3) solution when compared to either tap water or Clorox bleach.
It’s sad to see 13 downvotes all because you said “chemicals” instead of “pesticides”, even though it’s right in the excerpt you posted, and you linked to the scientific study. All the responses are trash jokes and people without reading comprehension.
I don’t see a single one that has anything valuable to add.

What is the chemicals aren’t acidic and can’t be neutralized by rinsing in a basic solution?
I think they’re generally petroleum based.

That’s an interesting but very limited study. I’d like to see it expanded.
There are plenty out there, get googling.
But I’m not baking, and it’s not even soda! The fuck is this bullshit?!
You mean chemicals like the horrible H2O?
