What happens when a family that usually doesn’t eat organic food suddenly starts? A Swedish family participated in a study that measured the levels of pesticides in their bodies prior to switching to all organic foods. Two weeks later, the levels of pesticides were measured again and the results are astounding. Both the occurrence and number of pesticides were significantly reduced.
Conducted by the Swedish Environmental Research Institute, the study shows that choosing organic food can reduce the level of pesticides in the body.
As one of the researchers points out in the video, little is known about the long term effects of eating foods treated with pesticides and even less is known about how the chemicals interact with one another in the human body.
This video definitely got me thinking about what I eat and the effect it can have on my long term health. What do you think?
