Pesticides: A Failed Human Experiment?
How’s that for a powerful headline? It’s not altogether surprising, though, is it? It’s hardly a big news flash that pesticides are bad for us, bad for the environment and bad for the farmers who use them. The problem is, we didn’t really know just how bad they really were. One of my favorite news sources for natural health, Natural News today, had a disturbing article recently that made this announcement – “Chronic illness is widespread in many industrialized nations like the U.S., and more studies than ever are linking this disease epidemic to pesticide exposure. According to a new database designed to catalog these studies, pesticides are linked to cancer, reproductive dysfunction, diabetes, autism, asthma, birth defects, Parkinson's and Alzheimer's diseases and more.” As Brenda Watson, author of the Detox Strategy, points out, “there are still more than 1,300 chemicals registered as pesticides in the U.S. These chemicals are formulated into thousands of pesticide products that are used agriculturally and available in the marketplace for home usage. In both 2000 and 2001, the total amount of pesticide used in the U.S. was approximately 5 billion pounds applied to crops, homes, schools, parks, and forests. In the United States alone, more than 18,000 products are licensed for use. We must remain vigilant about pesticide exposure in our surroundings and lives in general.” Beyond Pesticides, an environmental and public health group, decided to put together the Pesticide-Induced Diseases Database to raise awareness about the dangers of pesticides and to urge policy changes to get these chemicals removed from use. "A read through of the scientific literature on pesticides and major preventable diseases afflicting us in the 21st century suggests that one of the first responses called for is an all out effort to stop using toxic pesticides," explained Jay Feldmen, executive director of Beyond Pesticides. Beyond Pesticides hopes to see current risk assessment methods replaced by an alternatives assessment approach. Organic systems, for instance, perform far better than many of the high-chemical pesticide systems currently in use, and they do not harm the environment or consumers. The group has also put together a helpful guide called Organic Food: Eating with a Conscience, which expands upon how and why pesticides are harming life and the environment. This guide can be found at: http://www.beyondpesticides.org/org.
