9 diseases linked to pesticides

NaturalHealth365) The scientific evidence is unmistakable: exposure to pesticides is associated with elevated rates of some of the most significant – and potentially deadly – diseases of our lifetime. Yet, there continues to be a huge disconnect between the very high – and in some cases, epidemic rise of these diseases and the need for tighter controls (or elimination) of the world’s most toxic pesticides.
In understanding why that disconnect occurs, it’s hard to overlook the power of the biotech industry and its powerful, well-funded influence over government regulators. But the problem exists beyond the farm gate. Studies show that 28 out of the 40 most commonly used pesticides in schools have been linked to cancer, while 79 have been linked to other serious or life-threatening diseases or disorders. Of the 30 chemicals most likely to be used in lawn care, 19 are known to cause cancer while 49 are linked to nervous system, reproductive and fetal disorders.
Pesticides linked to many of the most serious health problems of our time
The Pesticide-Induced Disease (PID) database, created by the advocacy group Beyond Pesticides, is a compilation of studies from around the globe linking the use of pesticides to disease and other medical conditions. The result is a shockingly large volume of scientific data reflecting the serious dangers of chemical exposure, with children at even greater risk than adults.
