Does the High Prevalence of Vitamin D Deficiency in African Americans Contribute to Health Disparities?
2.14. All-Cause Mortality A comparison of death rates for African Americans with those of European Americans shows a large disparity for many diseases [150]. For example, the disparity in death rates from all causes for people aged 50 to 64 years is 45% higher in African American than in European Americans (Figure 3).

Cancer Risk of Plant-Made vs. Man-Made Pesticides
The tenet of toxicology, “the dose makes the poison,” means that every chemical at some level can become toxic as well as safe. This applies to both natural and synthetic chemicals, such as plant-made and man-made pesticides. Given about 391,000 plant species in the world compared to 70,000 synthetic chemicals in use, our exposure to plant-made chemicals is far greater than to man-made.
Dietary Pesticides 99.99 Percent Natural
Exposure to Plant-Made Pesticides Far Greater Than Man-Made By Bruce N. Ames, Ph.D. Since no plot of land is immune to attack by insects, diseases or animal predators, plants need chemical defenses – either natural (plant-made) or synthetic (man-made) – to survive. This includes food crops. In contrast to public perception, dietary pesticides are 99.99 percent natural as they are chemicals that plants produce to defend themselves.
