Dear friends, I have just received a message:
In the last decade, studies by EWG and other researchers have shown that toxic chemicals can pass from the pregnant mother to the fetus through the umbilical cord, thus affecting the future health and development of the child. Now, research shows that certain chemicals can alter the function of genes in such a way that they can be passed on not only to the child to be born, but also to grandchildren and perhaps great-grandchildren. The effect of toxic chemicals to generations not directly exposed to them is termed transgenerational effect. See here in the EWG's new report the full study
Organic food is produced without chemicals.
What is EWG;
The mission of the EWG (Environmental Working Group, EWG) is to help people live a healthier life in a healthier environment. With substantial research and education, they guide consumer choices and citizens' actions. It is a non-profit organization dedicated to the protection of human health and the environment. They work for us, trying to answer questions like : Do you know what is in your water? What is happening with your shampoo? What is hiding in the cleaning products under your sink? What insecticides exist in your food? What is happening with the farms and factories in your area? Do you know the protection measures used in your water, the ground, the air and your children? What is genetic modified (GMOs)? How do they affect our soil and water? Since 2 decades, EWG is trying to answer these and other issues, such that we know about our environment and protect our health.
