Fruit and vegetable consumption, pesticide residue intake from consumption of fruits and vegetables, and risk of uterine fibroids.

Our findings suggest that pesticide residues on fruits and vegetables are not associated with a higher risk of uterine fibroids. Further, our results suggest that intake of fruits may be associated with a lower risk of fibroids. Future research in this area should focus on dietary exposures across the life course as well as assessment of class-specific pesticides.
