Non-organic potatoes.
Each driver rated 0 (none) to 10 (worst)
Evidence strength: moderate · Detox Score = 100 − hazard×4.6 − exposure×3.4 − persistence×2.6, clamped 1–100.
A Detox Score of 58 places conventional potatoes in the Moderate band. It scores as it does mainly because of how much everyday contact it involves. Conventional potatoes are treated with chlorpropham, a sprout-inhibitor found on the skin of many samples. Because potatoes are eaten so often, the cumulative exposure adds up — peeling or buying organic reduces it.
