Overview
In the United States, more illnesses have been attributed to leafy vegetables (22%) than to any other commodity: illnesses associated with leafy vegetables are the second most frequent cause of hospitalizations (14%) and the fifth most frequent cause of death (6%). This situation is probably reflected globally. Should we stop eating all raw fruit and vegetables? Does washing make it safer? Are we putting ourselves at risk by eating our fruits and veggies raw?
