Conventional pesticides are known to cause many health problems in the long run. An apple that's farmed with conventional methods (pesticides) still contain over 30 pesticides, even if you wash it!

Diseases linked to pesticide consumption:
Cancer
Obesity
Altzheimer's
Parkinson's
Some birth defects

Organic fruits and vegetables holds about 50% more nutrients than non-organic products. So that means, you would have to consume fifty times more fruits and vegetables if organic foods are not incorporated into your diet, increasing your intake of harmful pesticides.
