Cancer rates are soaring. Synthetic chemicals in the environment are an important cause of human cancer. Reducing pesticid residues is an effective way to prevent diet-related cancer. Human exposures to carcinogens and other potential hazards are primarily due to synthetic chemicals. Cancer risks to humans can be assessed by standard high-dose animal cancer risks.
Synthetic chemicals pose greater carcinogenic hazards than natural chemicals.
The toxicology of synthetic chemicals is different from that of natural chemicals. Pesticides and other synthetic chemicals are disrupting human hormones. Regulating low, hypothetical risks advances public health. Attempting to reduce synthetic pesticides may make frutis and vegetables more expensive thereby decreasing their consumption and increasing cancer rates.
