The report below has been reprinted from the original analysis conducted by the Consumers Union of the United States, Inc., Public Service Projects Department, Technical Division.

"Which Foods Have the Highest TI Values? Seven foods consistently had high or very high TI's each time tested: Fresh peaches (both domestic and imported); frozen and fresh winter squash grown in the U.S.; domestic and imported apples, grapes, spinach and pears; and U.S.-grown green beans. Among these, U.S. peaches and frozen winter squash had TI Values about 10-fold higher than even the other "high" scores..."
