One of the most damaging factors in our environment and food is the use of pesticides and other toxic chemicals.<\/p>

A simple solution is to choose to buy organic foods as often as possible as these are allowed far fewer and less dangerous\u00a0pesticides. If organics aren\u2019t an affordable option making sure you properly wash your fresh fruits and vegetables before eating to help to reduce exposure.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

The major danger of pesticide use is the residue which is in our food when we purchase and ingest the food it has been used on.<\/p>

A few surveys\u00a0to read below which reveals what chemicals are found in our bodies. The most scary one being DDT, which has been banned for decades and is associated with cancer, immune system disorders, and other health issues but still being found in people.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
