Toxic Environment: How safe are the thousands of chemicals children encounter every day?
That's the headline from an article in Time Magazine, My 9, 2011, page 15.
Quote: "They're in the toys children play with, on the foods they eat and in the air they breathe. Each year, about 27 trillion lb. (12 trillion kg) of chemicals are produced in or imported into the U.S., and pediatricians say there is precious little research regarding the effects that the bulk of these compounds may have on children's development."
This is one of the serious environmental dangers The Healthy Home book is warning us about.
The primary law regulating chemicals in the U.S., the Toxic Substances Control Act of 1976, is outdated, with only five chemicals regulated in the past three decades.
The article reports that three research groups independently reported that babies with higher prenatal exposure to pesticides had lower IQs in childhood than those born to women with less exposure.
I thought that meant women from the farm and orchards where chemicals would be used. But no, the contact came from fruits and vegetables, obviously not washed well before use. That includes any family who trusts produce without washing it well.
Even foods and condiments that say "all natural" have no meaning, because there are no regulations for that statement. Check pages 122 through 124 in The Healthy Home book for more on this topic. You can learn even more from the website: wwwmyhealthyhome.com Use the passcode: 1UFF521HH
