Protect Your Family against Pesticides

A recent article on MSNBC.com reports that new research shows that exposure to pesticides used on “common kid-friendly foods” appears to increase the chances that children will be diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). The research indicates that exposure comes from many fruits and vegetables that are kid-favorites, including fresh strawberries, celery, and frozen blueberries.

Scientists in the United States and Canada found that children with high levels of pesticide residue in their urine were more likely to have ADHD, a behavior disorder that often disrupts school and social life. Children with “higher-than-average levels of one pesticide marker were nearly twice as likely to be diagnosed with ADHD as children who showed no traces of the poison.”

Maryse F. Bouchard, a researcher at the University of Montreal in Quebec and the lead author of the study published in the journal Pediatrics, says the important message for parents is to “buy organic as much as possible” and she recommends “washing fruits and vegetables as much as possible.”
