Many consumers do not realize that pesticide residues (残留) are very common on conventionally grown produce products, even after they have been washed or peeled. Because of this, EWG has created their series of guides to lead consumers to saf

37、es.For centuries, art lovers and critics have been confused by and debated the Leonardo Da Vinci paintings gaze and slight smile?But new research from the University of California.
