The FDA approved many pesticides before research linked them to chemicals that cause cancer and other diseases. Now the EPA considers 60% of all herbicides, 90% of all fungicides, and 30% of all insecticides to be carcinogenic. The bottom line is that pesticides are poisons made to kill living creatures, and can also be harmful to humans. The average child is exposed to four times as many cancer-causing pesticides in their daily lives compared to an adult.
But Organic foods contain no such carcinogenic pesticides and hence should be the obvious choice when it comes to securing our health for the future.
