CONTENT
Today I wanted to address a highly controversial content, this because the topic I bring you is related to our food, and the effect that pesticides used to protect crops either from insects, weeds, fungi and other pests generate on other species of food interest.
Restrictions on the use of pesticides have been in place for decades because of their effects on human health, as well as their devastating adverse effects on agricultural ecosystems and specifically on environmental stability.
Considering that some pesticides are safe or non-toxic, while others are dangerous, is a serious mistake because, in reality, all synthetic products have the potential to be dangerous to human health, even some pesticides classified as low toxicity, are also dangerous because over time in our body accumulate amounts that tend to generate adverse reactions at an advanced age.
Within the indicators, which the scientific community uses to support their hypotheses to ensure that pesticides increase our chances of death, they start from the fact that pesticides sold to farmers can kill twice as many pollinating insects, which implies a correlation with the rest of the organisms.
It should be emphasized that in times of modernity, the impact of pesticides on our health is mysteriously no longer monitored, yet large agricultural transnationals continue to obtain licenses for the massive production of pesticides.
In closing, it is worth mentioning that there is a high probability that we will experience a reaction due to the toxicity of a pesticide, this probability of experiencing an adverse health effect as a result of the use of a product is known as the pesticide risk.

Greetings friend @lupafilotaxia, once again you bring us content that allows us to reflect on the way humanity, in its bad practices, is killing itself.
It seems that we do not understand that we are not "gods" nor should we play at being one, we want to modify each and every one of the biological processes without measuring the consequences that this may have on the ecosystem and, as in this case, our health, to many Producers only care about producing more and "better" but many times without taking into account the damage that their production can do to the health of consumers.
Thank you for keeping us alert with this kind of information, greetings and have a beautiful weekend.

Hi @karupanocitizen, sorry for not responding on time, regarding your appreciation, certainly humanity is not aware of the serious damage it has caused to the planet and less about the devastating consequences on our own existence. Thank you for reading. Best regards, be well.

This is really bad I must say. I am grateful to you for summoning the courage to educate us about something so important to our health. I never for once thought that this pesticide is very harmful to our health not until you raises the alarm. My concern is that just like what you say the government are not even monitoring all this, all they care about is the money they make by giving out licence to farmers, this is really bad I must admit. At this stage what should we do as I am more confuse @lupafilotaxia

Hello @lupafilotaxia, there is really a high possibility of interaction of these pesticides with the food we eat, which can cause from severe allergies to disorders in the immune system, neurological and psychomotor disorders, however I believe that this delicate issue has been put aside due to necessity of the large industries to continue marketing synthetic pesticides when there are natural formulas without chemical additives that could be industrialized without causing the already known.

Hello @ tocho2, sorry for not responding in time, in relation to your appreciation, correct and that probability of interaction of chemicals with food is what trigger the multiple diseases we suffer as a species. Thanks for reading. Best regards, good luck.
