Pesticides in Our Daily Food

FDA Report 1999

Due to their much smaller size, what may be a tolerable dose to an adult is a huge dose to a small child, and an immense dose to an embryo or fetus.

And no one knows what the combination of any, never mind all of these pesticides in our bodies does to us.

a) The list of pesticides detectable is expressed in terms of the parent pesticide. However, monitoring coverage and findings may have included metabolites, impurities, and alteration products.

b) Some of these pesticides are no longer manufactured or registered for use in the United States.

c) The analytical methodology determines carbendazim, which may result from use of benomyl or carbendazim.

d) Such as maneb.
