The dangers of weed killers - Glyphostae aka Roundup, the hidden killer.
Tim Tyler writes
You might think - yet unsafe levels of pesticides are still turning up in produce on supermarket shelves - e.g. in Asda this year: ``Spanish spinach from Asda tested by the pesticide residues committee exceeded legal and safety limits. Residues of the pesticide methomyl were found at 240% of the safety level for toddlers and 150% of that for adults. Sure, it happens. That's why there are check tests. That why the allowed levels are set so low. However I doubt very much that they exceeded 'safety limits', I don't doubt that some exceeded the permitted level. Since very little (a fraction of a percent) does, and since I have explained that the permitted level is hugely safe and requires huge intakes (which you will be unable to find enough contaminated produce to consume) you shouldn't be getting concerned. -- Oz This post is worth absolutely nothing and is probably fallacious. Note: soon (maybe already) only posts via despammed.com will be accepted. |
