Many studies have been done linking pesticides to cancer and other illnesses but more studies are now being done linking pesticides to ADHD. Most pesticides rely on organophosphates as its core ingredient. Organophosphates work by attacking the nervous system of the pests that are targeted by pesticide products.

To say that a little bit is okay is hard to determine because if it is in most of the produce we consume how can the FDA predict how much we will eat? I love fruits and vegetables but if I eat to much will it affect my behavior as well as give me cancer? I try to stay away from the the dirty dozen (you can see what those are on my previous post) and only eat those when they are grown organically.
