Pediatric Study Recommends Organic Food for Kids
This is an incredibly important article regarding new pediatric research showing a link between pesticide use and ADHD in children. The researchers have concluded that children should be eating an organic diet to avoid exposure to pesticides. Particularly parents should be concerned with GMOs as they are designed for higher pesticide use. Wow, if we can get parents to wake up to the dangers of genetically modified foods, the battle for labeling will be won. This is just more evidence of the health risk to our children from eating genetically modified food; particularly processed foods of which over 80% is bio-engineered and not labeled. Hopefully the American Academy of Pediatrics will begin to take these studies seriously and issue a statement in line with this research. We will continue to follow this story and get the word out to parents. Read Article
