One of the best-kept secrets of the food industry is the sheer amount of chemicals that are sprayed on crops! Why does that affect you, as a consumer? The reason is simple – many of those synthetic chemicals are known or probable carcinogens. These synthetic chemicals are only ever tested in isolation; therefore the effects when they are mixed are unknown. We are frequently exposed to a combination of these toxic chemicals in the food we eat, the air we breathe and the water we swim in.

One of these dangerous, extremely common chemicals is glyphosate. Glyphosate has been under much scrutiny recently for its dangerous health risks. However, in most commercial formulations, toxic agents called adjuvants accompany glyphosate. These adjuvants are used to increase glyphosate’s penetration into plants, making glyphosate more toxic! Additionally, these adjuvants are never included in long-term research relating to glyphosate, even though they are most likely more toxic than glyphosate itself! Adjuvants, though they are thought of to be inert, like water, aren’t included in pesticide acceptable daily intakes. These represent a dark side to the pesticide and food system – a system that hides too much from consumers.

How can you solve this problem? There are two ways: demand change, and demand natural neem-based products. With neem-based products, there is no worry about health risks. When consumers demand change, big companies must comply or risk losing profit. When you, as the consumer, become more aware of the changes that you can make as a person, you can change the world! And what better way to change it than by evolving our agricultural system into one that is more sustainable, more green and healthier for you, your family, and your community?
