Produce growers, other ag groups file an opening brief in the case against EPA’s chlorpyrifos ban. The EPA’s ban is technically a revocation of allowed tolerances for chlorpyrifos residues on food. When farmers use pesticides to grow food, residues of those pesticides often persist in the finished food that people and animals consume.

# Food / Farming / GMOs / Chemicals / Other What is the glycemic index (GI)? Carbohydrates are found in breads, cereals, fruits, vegetables, and dairy products. They’re an essential part of a healthy diet. When you eat any type of carb, your digestive system breaks it down into simple sugars that enter the bloodstream. Not all carbs are the same, as different types have unique effects on blood sugar.
The three GI ratings are:
Low: 55 or fewer
Medium: 56–69
High: 70 or more
