Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

VERY Deceptive Marketing !!! Company claims product removes 98% more pesticides, waxes, people-handling residues and other contaminants vs. washing with water alone. The implication is that 98% more pesticide residues are removed vs. washing with water alone. This is absolutely FALSE. (see STUDY below) Claim bundling is one of the most abused marketing techniques. People who buy this product are probably most concerned about pesticides on their produce and it's no accident that the company puts pesticides first in the bundled list of contaminants of which 98% more are removed versus water washing alone. Putting pesticides first creates a trigger response by the consumer - 98% of chemicals removed!!!! CLICK BUY. It's a lie according to the study (see link below). The study used a long rinse time of one minute but recommends a 30 second rinse for the same result (implied). If you spray with FIT, then rinse, you will use a similar amount of time but will be under the delusion that you have removed virtually all the pesticides. The scientific fact, based on the Connecticut study, is that there is no difference between thorough rinsing with water vs. using FIT as far as pesticide removal goes. In fact, some chemicals, such as commonly used chlorpyrifos (nervous system inhibitor) and vinclozolin, bifenthrin and were not reduced either way unless you peal the fruit/vegetable. The REALITY is that basic washing with water only is equivalent to using this product for pesticide removal. If you are paranoid about microbes on the produce, a quick spray with vinegar and/or real lemon juice is effective. Pealing, sadly, is the most effective way to eliminate pesticides... or go with more expensive organic produce. This is a superfluous product that exists only to lighten your wallet.
