Dietary pesticides (99.99% all natural).

|
By Ames BN
| ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
Abstract The toxicological significance of exposures to synthetic chemicals is examined in the context of exposures to naturally occurring chemicals. We calculate that 99.99% (by weight) of the pesticides in the American diet are chemicals that plants produce to defend themselves. Only 52 natural pesticides have been tested in high-dose animal cancer tests, and about half (27) are rodent carcinogens; these 27 are shown to be present in many common foods.

This chapter discusses evidence showing why this is not true. We also review research on the causes of cancer, and show why much cancer is preventable.
