July 29, 2010 Food Pesticides are in almost all foods consumed by Americans in greater quantities today than every before in history. You cannot maintain a healthy diet with pesticides in your food and a ban on pesticides is not the Department of Agriculture’s focus.
The problem with pesticides in the food supply is they are toxic to human health and will cause cancers of the body, skin, respiratory problems, memory disorders, nausea, and vomiting. The pesticides also disrupt human hormones and will cause birth defects, thyroid problems and endocrine diseases.
The Food and Drug Administration does not monitor food quality and fails to enforce tests on food suppliers especially the commercial farms that mass produce foods for all Americans. It appears that US foods contain more chemicals than in other countries involved in food production. However the same holds true for some countries that are suffering from poverty.
More Food Pesticides means children, adults, pregnant women and every other human on the planet is ingesting these chemical pesticides which are causing major deadly diseases. Today farmers are using pesticides that are banned in the European Union and in Washington State dozens of deadly pesticides are being sprayed or introduced into the food chain.
What are the Chemicals in our Foods
More than 80 chemicals banned in Europe are using in Washington State including 17 which will cause cancer, or interfere with the human hormone system. Chemicals with names you cannot pronounce are the worst of all such as n-mthyl carbamates which are poisonous. Others are azoles, benzimidazoles, dithiocarbamates and many more.
