Every infant born today carries a chemical body burden passed from
mother to child during pregnancy. This burden will grow throughout a lifetime
due to exposure to pesticides and other chemicals in our food, air, water and
everyday products.
Toxics such as organic
chemicals and pesticides have been proven to be a major factor in cancer and
other chronic health conditions.
The
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention measure pesticides and other
chemicals in the bodies of Americans every few years. In the most recent study,
they tested for 212 chemicals,
including 44 pesticides
— and found most of them.
Scientists tell us that even in tiny
doses, many pesticides can derail the delicate systems that control our
development, health and reproduction, and the evidence continues to mount.
Pesticides and Herbicides are documented to cause cancer,
autoimmune conditions
,
neurological
conditions
and developmental conditions of children.
We're experiencing a cancer epidemic, and evidence is growing ever stronger that pesticide exposure is a key contributor to this disturbing trend. Documentation of cancer caused by pesticides and herbicides can be found in “ Causes of Cancer and Natural Treatments for Cancer ”
From learning
disabilities to autism, diabetes and cancer, a startling number of childhood
diseases and disorders are on the rise.
Pesticide exposure and the increase in exposure are documented to be a major factor in this rise.
Human reproduction is a
delicate biological process, involving everything from the physical ability to
reproduce to many aspects of development and behavior. It is guided at every
step by powerful hormones, and this finely tuned system is under threat.
Pesticides and herbicides are
documented to cause
ADHD,
seizures, birth defects, and developmental conditions in children.

THE
PESTICIDE TREADMILL
--
For
decades, conventional farmers have been trapped on a “pesticide treadmill.”
History has proven time
and again that herbicide-based weed management will inevitably fail.

Monsanto continues to
deny and hide glyphosate’s potential for harm. In 2017, unsealed court
documents revealed Monsanto’s efforts to collude with the EPA to cover up
glyphosate’s carcinogenic risks.
Documentation of the huge
harm caused by GMOs and glyphosate are found in
