What do the codes mean on the stickers of fruits?
They are either series of 4 or 5 numbers, but the one you should know is the first:
Number starting with:
4: Conventionally grown allowing use of pesticides (e.g: banana 4011)

9: Organically grown (banana 94011)

8: Genetically modified (GMO) by chemicals and grown with chemicals (banana 84011)

There is a list of dirty dozen and clean fifteen, here is the link:

Keep in mind pesticides are killing all sort of insects, so I can't imagine they do us much good when ingested.
Avoid number 8, if 4 wash thoroughly, and 9 wash as well you never know who sneezed on it at the store.

But here is a small trick that should help you shed a pound a week doing something very simple: Eat an apple before each meal, the pectin a soluble fiber, is viscous, allowing it to absorb and retain water, forming a gel. This type of soluble fiber actually slows digestion down. Because of this, it has a tendency to stabilize blood glucose, and permit better absorption of nutrients. It tends to reduce blood cholesterol (usually 20-40%). It also increases satiety, so people aren't inclined to eat as much.
FYI a small apple is around 60 calories.
I hope this help.

PS: I also am aware that this may not be a trick some, even most perhaps, are willing to do despite it's ultimate simplicity. Therefore I am working on a juice which will be soon available for delivery.

Day 4 on my anti allergy program (read previous post). I have to supplement with vitamin C, otherwise I would have to consume 2 pounds of kiwis a day to get 2000mg/day. As for now all symptoms have dropped drastically. It takes about one week to kick in, but so far it is working like a charm. Knock on wood!
