Me too, but apparently it's true. At least for the US. "Antibiotics can also be found in vegetables and fruits. The U.S. Department of Agriculture funded a study to test this. Scientists took manure from animals that were given antibiotics. They grew different plants in the manure and then tested its leaves. What they found was alarming: 1. The antibiotic was present in fruits, vegetables as well as the vegetable leaves. 2. The amount of antibiotic in the plant was directly related to the amount in the soil. 3. The plants absorbed antibiotics in the soil as it grew. 4. Crops that grow underground might absorb even more antibiotics from the soil. Examples of such crops include potatoes, radishes, and carrots." http://www.consumer-health.com/services/cons_take66.php http://www.consumer-health.com/services/cons_take66.php
