Oh I am so glad to read this Environmental Working Group article titled: Nation’s Pediatricians Warn against Pesticides in Food. Thank you American Academy of Pediatrics for acknowledging there is a link between toxins and health and finally recommending ways in which the whole community needs to protect our little ones from toxins!
Here are the sentences from the EWG article that stood out for me:
“The American Academy of Pediatrics has taken the unprecedented step of issuing a policy statement…to take concerted action to protect children from pesticides.” “…growing body of scientific evidence that links these toxic chemicals not only to outright poisoning but also to subtle and sometimes life-altering health problems to which children are especially vulnerable.”
“Epidemiologic evidence demonstrates associations between early life exposure to pesticides and pediatric cancers, decreased cognitive function, and behavioral problems.”
“Pediatricians need better training on pesticides’ effects, treatment of acute poisoning, ways of addressing more prevalent lower dose chronic exposures in children and pesticide labeling. ”
