(Natural News) Scientists have known for a long time that pesticides are harmful to human health. Previous research links pesticide exposure to cancer, respiratory problems and birth defects. A recent study is one of the latest to probe the toxic effects of pesticide exposure. Researchers from the University of Hawai?i at M?noa looked at middle-aged men of […]

(Natural News) Prenatal exposure to organophosphate pesticides, a kind of pesticide considered toxic to humans, has been linked to impaired cognition and significant changes in the brain. In a major breakthrough, scientists from the University of California, Berkeley (UCB) and Stanford University found that teenagers exposed in utero to organophosphate pesticides demonstrated altered brain activities during tasks that […]

(Natural News) In the biggest epidemiological study to date on the link between pesticide exposure and autism, researchers have discovered that children who are exposed to pesticides both in the womb and in their early years have a higher chance of developing the condition. The increased risk in question is not a small one. In […]
