In a new research study quoted in this CNN article, Maryse Bouchard, Ph.D., a researcher in the department of environmental and occupational health at the University of Montreal, measured the pesticide levels in the urine of 1,139 children and found a 100% increase in the risk of ADHD due to pesticides.
This news is alarming, particularly because I advocate people eating a huge amount of whole foods like fruits and vegetables. If you look at the rate of pesticides appearing in frozen processed fruit, like frozen blueberries, you can see that saving some time and money versus eating reputable organics is no longer worth debating.
