How toxic are conventionally grown potatos?
One of the the most important foods to be eating organic are potatoes
Apples, grapes, or spinach too.
CONVENTIONAL POTATOES
According to the USDA’s Pesticide Data Program, 35 different pesticides have been found on conventional potatoes.
– 6 are known or probably carcinogens
– 12 are suspected hormone disruptors
– 7 are neurotoxins
– 6 are developmental or reproductive toxins
The chemical that is found on 76% of all conventional potatoes is chlorpropham, an herbicide that is used to stop the growth of weeds and to inhibit potato sprouting.
This is toxic to honey bees, chronic exposure of laboratory animals to chlorpropham has caused “retarded growth, increased liver, kidney and spleen weights, congestion of the spleen, and death.” according to the Extension Toxicology Network
Potatoes absorb all of the pesticides, herbicides, and insecticides that are sprayed above the ground and then eventually make their way into the soil.
