We have always set the pesticide residue standards are based on pesticide residues on animal safety factor, but we have overlooked that the fetus is no animal resistance to pesticide residues, so a recent study of pesticide residues on the fetus The impact report was heated.

A new study commissioned by the European Parliament underscores the consequences of the use of pesticides on crops, and even after cleansing, pesticide residues are still detected on these foods. It is for this reason that many countries, including European countries and the United States, have upper limits on the amount of pesticide used in crops, although these restrictions are based on the effects of chemical substances we know on animals rather than on humans The

Previous studies have shown that pesticides are detrimental to human brain development, including exposure of mothers to higher levels of pesticides during pregnancy, leading to reduced fetal gray matter, as well as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and even mental retardation The Mothers are exposed to urine during pregnancy. Organic phosphorus in pesticides is a big problem.

The European Commission commissioned research institutes to conduct the study to discover the potential benefits of organic agriculture and consumption of organic food. Organic agriculture, of course, involves little or no pesticide. Given the possible development of food using pesticides, the report shows that at least it is advisable for pregnant women and lactating women to choose organic food.

This dietary measure helps protect the fetus from the development of the disease caused by the compounds found in pesticide-treated foods. At the same time, the difference in composition between traditional growth and organic products suggests that organic crops have less cadmium content. This difference in composition is due to the use of different soils and fertilizers for the cultivation of organic crops.
