Tan Dun-ci, known as the 'mother of detoxification,' advises that all fruits, whether eaten with or without peel, should be washed before consumption to ensure food safety. She shares a case where a health-conscious patient who ate an unpeeled apple daily without washing had pesticide residues exceeding limits in their blood. Tan recommends washing fruits like bananas, cantaloupes, and passion fruits with water before eating. She also cautions against consuming mangoes without rinsing off toxic urushiol oil on their skin and advises washing kiwis to avoid allergic reactions. Tan stresses the importance of proper fruit hygiene to prevent health risks.
