From the womb to the grave, we humans, our health and diet are influenced by economic interests. What do I mean by that? From agricultural to food manufacturers and chemicals corporations, we are all contaminated and 'poisoned' every single day. I'm writing this series mainly about pesticides, how this powerful toxin can affect our body and health, primarily from the food we consume. All the lies and conspiracies, I feel sick and disgusted. We are all guinea pigs, a long term experiment for whatever chemicals which were man-made synthetically by these corporations, and we are all suffering, getting sicker, fatter, unhealthier and diseases rates are rising dramatically every single year.
As most of us know, what are pesticides generally. But do we know what really is pesticide and what are they used for? Do we know how pesticides made our food became less nutritional and very toxic to our health? Whether you live in the US, UK or elsewhere, the important thing to remember about pesticide contamination of your food is that government “allowed levels” do not mean safe levels, especially where your children are concerned.
Example, data collected from developing countries have shown that women's exposure to pesticides are significantly higher then it is formally recognized, and that pesticides poisoning are greatly underestimated for women. Women's higher proportion of body fat provides greater reservoir for fat-loving pesticides, some of which are hormonally active carcinogens, and associated with breast cancer. Women may also absorb pesticides through their skin more easily then men(dermal absorption). And once the pesticides are in the body, it will resides much longer then in women then men. So, ladies, pay attention to this important information of this post.
Malnutrition can enhance the adverse effects of pesticides. Low levels of protein enhance the vulnerability insecticides. Low levels of protein, can also increase the toxicity level of certain carcinogens. Malnutrition leads to weaker immune system. Malnutrition of a pregnant woman also leads to underdevelopment of an unborn child, paving the way for chronic ill health later in life. These effects can contribute to an increased risk of breast cancer. Besides, men can also get breast cancer but the risk if much lower compared to women.

Pesticides can also undermine the immune system, interfering with intercellular communication, as well as metabolic activities. Some of the types of pesticides include herbicides, insecticides, fungicides, bio-pesticides, rodenticides, etc. The most common used pesticides are organophosphates, chlorinated hydrocarbons, etc. All these pesticides employ a neurotoxic mechanism to kill insects. Furthermore, most pesticides are easily absorbed through lungs and skin. We've got tons of consumers buying canola oil from the supermarkets, not knowing that it contains pesticidal applications and considered as bio-pesticides. Surprised?
Well, the problem is, I've met people who don't even know what is pesticide is. Shocking? Does anyone even know that pesticides are used in biological warfare? Yes, I said it! Commercial food such as white rice, fruits, vegetables, eggs, chickens, cows, teas, coffees are contaminated with pesticides. There are long lists of food products which are contaminated with these toxic substances, and protein powder supplements are no exception. We can't get any health from sick cows grazing on pesticide contaminated grass or soil. Period.
So folks, if you are eating a beef fried rice at restaurant of hawkers stall, you have to realize that this meal is quite possibly contaminated with pesticides, as beef and rice are concerned. Eating food which are exposed to pesticides, will cause inflammation within the body, and lead to serious diseases. Pesticides in various combinations are now considered a chief culprit as silent killers of braincells.
For most of the twentieth century, medical science assured us that the placenta connecting a mother to the fetus acted as a foolproof filter, protecting the fetus from toxins absorbed by the mother's body during pregnancy. We now know that this is was a myth. Most chemical substances have been shown to be anywhere from three to ten times as toxic to fetuses and newborns as adults. This contamination can even begin at conception, as a result of the mother's body burden of chemicals, or the father's semen being a carrier for environmental toxins that can be introduced directly into the egg at fertilization.
Let's talk an example, if your mother lived in a big city, you were exposed to numerous types of air pollutants, pesticides from corner markets or rooftop gardens, and insecticides used in many apartment and commercial buildings. Check this out. An expectant mother breathing polluted air, might cause chromosome abnormalities in the fetus. So, to all the soon-to-be mothers, do take note.
Also, a study from University of Bristol in UK back in few years ago, showed that children whose mothers made frequent use of chemical-based domestic products during pregnancy were more likely to develop asthma after birth. These products include disinfectants, bleach, aerosols, air fresheners, window cleaners, carpet cleaners, pesticides, etc.
Does any women realize that babies in the womb now swim in and absorb a synthetic chemical soup? My point of view, I don't think so (especially for Malaysian women). Disagree ladies? Well, I have yet to meet any pregnant women who is genuinely knowledgeable in health especially when relates to 'preparing' for a new born baby. Mothers who live in industrialize country, have approximately 30% of PCBs in their breast milk. So, to whoever mothers reading this right now, if you concern about NOT exposing your infant or newborn babies to this toxin, please be very cautious. With PCBs, it only takes five parts per billion in a mother's blood (the equivalent of one drop of water in 118 bathtubs of water), to cause permanent brain damage to a fetus in the womb!
Do you wanna know something shocking? When you are six months old, you already received 30% of your total lifetime toxic load of chemicals! Yes, it may sound shocking, but true.
