Reduce Pesticide Health Risks with Certified Pesticide Residue Free Foods
Certified Pesticide Residue Free fruits and vegetables available at grocery stores nationwide offer a clear choice to parents who are concerned about studies linking organophosphate pesticides to illnesses in children.
A recent study, published in the journal Pediatrics on May 17, 2010 provides new evidence linking organophosphate residues with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Previous studies have linked this class of chemicals to neurological disorders in children, including autism, behavioral problems, and impacts on short-term memory, motor skills and reaction times. More negative effects of pesticide ingestion are being revealed – pesticide residues are also being linked to neurological disorders like autism and cancer.
Pesticide Residue Free Certification is the most stringent guarantee against pesticide residues in the marketplace today. Scientific Certification Systems has tested and confirmed that all products carrying the Certified Pesticide Residue Free label are residue free down to a detection level of 0.01 parts-per-million, using government limit-of-detection testing protocols.
