The Special Needs of Children, the Developing Fetus, and Newborns

In last week’s article, I demonstrated how regulatory authorities and the industry are overlooking a significant amount of published research regarding the roles of toxic chemicals, including pesticides, in the substantial increase of Non-Communicable Chronic Diseases (NCDs).

I pointed out that the official requirements from regulatory authorities for specific testing of pesticide-induced diseases in children are nearly nonexistent. Most disturbingly, there is no published scientific evidence-based testing to demonstrate that any of the current chemicals and pesticides are safe for our children, as there is no obligation to specifically test for them.

The article clearly demonstrated how scientists identified the cause by which glyphosate affects nerve development and noted that it cannot be reversed. The primary concern is that the brain is the largest collection of nerves in the human body and continues to develop in unborn, newborn, and growing children. Exposure to small amounts of glyphosate in food can negatively impact the brain’s normal development, leading to a range of significant issues observed in children, including autism spectrum disorder, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and other developmental and behavioral challenges.
