Who doesn’t love a cherry tomato? This cute and sweet vegetable is perfect for snacks and salads, unfortunately they are also high on the list for pesticides. In fact, cherry tomatoes have been found to contain over 35 different pesticide residues. Not something you really want to be popping in your mouth, right? Another member of the nightshade family, cherry tomatoes are not recommended to be eaten by those who suffer from joint pain, despite the fact that the high levels of lycopene in the vegetable are known to prevent prostate cancer.
