Debunking the Dirty Dozen | Why Organic AND Conventional Produce is Healthy 

And what about the herbicides? Do you know that oats and wheat are sprayed directly with herbicides so they can be dried out for earlier harvest? Oats have the highest load of glyphosate of any other food. They do a lot of testing of individual foods and claim they are well below acceptable limits. Do they test an entire diet for a day or week and see what the total intake is? Glyphosate is claimed to leave the body within 3 days, but if you keep eating the stuff every day it will accumulate. "They" decided for us how much pesticide, herbicide, insect parts, and rat droppings are acceptable for us to be eating. My goal is to be eating none of those things or as close to none as I can get.. The World Health Organization considers glyphosate "probably carcinogenic to humans," whereas the US EPA has found glyphosate "not likely to be carcinogenic to humans." Ultimately, there is no consensus in the scientific community about what level of glyphosate consumption or exposure-if any-is safe, and more research is needed. This is from the National Institutes of Health: "However, Roundup was found in this experiment to be 125 times more toxic than glyphosate. Moreover, despite its reputation, Roundup was by far the most toxic among the herbicides and insecticides tested. This inconsistency between scientific fact and industrial claim may be attributed to huge economic interests, which have been found to falsify health risk assessments and delay health policy decisions" I don't know why Roundup is 125 times more toxic than glyphosate, because Roundup contains glyphosate. The GMO crops are sprayed with Roundup (Roundup ready crops). The GMO seeds are sold by Monsanto, as is the Roundup. Probably in a more dangerous form or other ingredients in Roundup. Not sure. So according to the NIH, Roundup is the most toxic of all herbicides and we're eating that? Do I need to mention that all the studies showing how safe Roundup is are paid for or conducted by Monsanto? Other studies by independent organizations are discounted.

The EWG is run by a guy who pays himself $300,000 a year from the donations to his nonprofit. Along with another dozen executives who make between $100,000 and $300,000 with a massive incentive to lie to you. Who would send them money if they say everything is totally fine and there's nothing to worry about (or pay them for)

It's not though... Organic farming also uses pesticides and insecticides as well. They just aren't allowed to use many of the synthetic ones. There is also no indication that they use less of them either. If anything, the types they use were ditched by conventional farming as being less effective than those being developed now. Which is why it's more expensive, I'll bet. Organic needs to have smaller-yield crops due to the farming techniques being used, and therefore is not as efficient as conventional farming.

It's funny, people don't like eating junk food. People complain to government. Government makes high standards. Reaching high standards is expensive. People complain about things being too expensive. People eat more junk food. Lol just saying.

Are you out of the cage 🥅 ? ❓

Then grow your own. ^_^ And then maybe work on genetically modifying your garden produce because many fruits and veg naturally produce their own pesticides to protect themselves.

If the choice is between eating conventionally grown produce and eating less produce- as the evidence cited in this video demonstrates-then the conventionally grown produce is better. Not everyone can afford all-organic produce and others live in areas where it isn’t available.

there is no hysteria if you look at the organic vs. conventional produce proportion in our supermarkets - maybe a bit more hysteria would be good to get consumption directed for more sustainable farming - pesticides and chemicals are simply overloading our natural habitats not just for humans…also don’t consume information blindly and look for more nuanced and un-funded studies…once educated you’ll make your own choices … in the end it’s you choice and priorioty and some simply don’t care about the impact we have on our only earth as we might not live long enough to see the long lasting effects…

I don't believe this video at all! This woman is probably not even a doctor. This is no doubt a staged video with a hired actor scripted and produced by Government Agencies such as the Agricultural Marketing Service or the United States Department of Agriculture and so on. Corruption!

... You know that many fruits and vegetables naturally produce their own pesticides... right?

@@felisd And our ancestors learned long ago how to diminish their harmful effects so that they could be consumed. They didn't add poisons to them and ow we get the plant's natural protections with a dose of Monsanto's latest brew.

I don't know about Australia, but here in Canada and the US, most of the recalls are due to listeria and e coli contamination - which is not due to pesticides at all, but due to fertilizaton methods and not cleaning their produce adequately afterwards. And the recalls have been pretty evenly spread between conventionally grown and organic veg. (Also, you wash your veg in chemicals before every use as well - did you know that? A chemical called "water".)

You missed the point. The saying “dose make the poison” is a fact. Poison residue may or may not be poisonous, depends how much. 1 atom of arsenic is 100% harmless.

Hahaha 😂. I don't think so. I believe 30% of what video say. In general we have to say ""to eat or not to eat"

No. You have to decide how to spend your money. Want a new TV every 2 yrs, a new car every 10 yrs, a new phone every year, new clothes, etc... so you have less money for good food. Period.

"Organic" is a government mandated term for foods grown without chemicals. If I have to explain, it means food grown by organic methods, i.e., animals eat the same foods they would eat if they were wild without added grains, antibiotics and hormones (which are passed on up the food chain), vegetables and fruits get natural fertilizers like manure and composted vegetable waste, and with safe pest control, so that unnecessary chemicals don't get passed up the food chain. But you probably know that and were just trying to be clever?

I'm allergic to the term "organic". Unless people eating plastic, all produces are organic.

⁠@@jjbud3124 Nope everything is a chemical and the most organic pesticides are just slightly weaker versions of the non organic ones applied in absurd quantities. Lets take pyrethrins an insecticide naturally found in a species of flowers, that is one of the most widely used pesticides and ding ding ding it occurs naturally. Just like the majority of the pesticides we use we synethize them from naturally occurring pesticides found in nature. Natural does not equal non toxic other wise asbestos a naturally occurring mineral would have nooooooo issues being used, but hmmm it does 😂
