Inversely related to mortality. I.e low pesticide intake reduced morality.


I'm still confused. Morality or mortality?


If you eat low-pesticide fruits and vegetables, you're less likely to die. If you eat high-pesticide fruits and vegetables, your chances of dying are unaffected, which is surprising because you would expect that increased fruit and vegetable consumption would decrease your chances of dying. So, it seems that the potential health benefits of eating fruits and vegetables is negated if they contain high levels of pesticide.
