Are artificial farming chemicals really a threat to human health?
We are all exposed to pesticides on a daily basis in our diet and the cumulative, long-term effects of this are unknown. Some pesticides used in the UK, like lindane and carbendazim are known to have hormone-disrupting effects. Lindane has been linked to breast cancer and is banned in many other countries. The UK Government recommends that parents should peel all fruit and vegetables for their children, to try get rid of pesticides left on the skin.
