Toxic pesticides and herbicides

Описание: Toxic pesticides and herbicides are ubiquitous. This video discusses the evidence of the impact pesticides and herbicides can have on your health and how to reduce your exposure, even if you are on a budget. Find out which foods are the most contaminated with toxic pesticides and herbicides and how to wash conventionally grown vegetables to reduce your exposure.

The focus is on organophosphates and glyphosate, which together cover the more common toxic pesticides and herbicides you will be exposed to.

Organophosphates have been used as nerve gas from World War 1 and work by interfering with the breakdown of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine which signals muscles to contract. Acetylcholine builds up and the signalling breaks down and there is overstimulation of the muscle, be it in humans or in insects.

Organophosphates have well documented chronic and acute toxic effects, and have been linked with inflammation, Parkinson's disease, ADHD, diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure, testosterone depletion, oestrogen imbalances, DNA damage and mitochondrial dysfunction. These toxic pesticides could also potentially confer antibiotic resistance and thus impact gut health.

Glyphosate is the most commonly used weedkiller in both agricultural or residential settings. One of your neighbours is likely to be using it and it is unrestricted, yet this video presents evidence for toxic effects at below regulatory 'acceptable' levels.

Glyphosate kills off beneficial gut flora whilst pathogenic microbes can flourish as they tend to be more resistant to glyphosate. Glyphosate also has toxic effects on sex hormones, can cause kidney and liver damage, is neurotoxic and causes neuroinflammation and mitochondrial dysfunction, and is 'probably carcinogenic' according to the International Agency for Research on Cancer.

This is the 4th of 6 videos (NEXT VIDEO COMING SOON) which cover the most essential evidence-based nutrition and lifestyle tips for safe and effective detox.
