Pesticides

This is a topic i feel so passionate about as many of you know.
1st  of all many pesticides accumulate in fatty tissues, such as that found in the female breast. WOmen with breast cancer were found to be 5 times as likely as cancer-free women to have detectable levels of pesticide DDT in their blood and more then 9 times as likely to have detectable levels of another estrogen-modulating pesticide, hexachlorobenzene. And it can reside in the body for decades. There probably isn't one person living in the US that doesn't carry some pesticides in her body. Attention deficit disorder affects 3-6 % of our school children. Certain pesticides cross over the placenta and enter the brain of the developing fetus.A university study in Arizona found children exposed to a combination of pesticides before birth and through breast milk exhibited less stamina, and poorer memory than other kids.
So lets eat organic!!
If not for yourself, do it for your children.
