See book keywords and concepts |  According to the Washington, DC-based environmental working group, about 220 million pounds of these hormone disrupters are applied to sixty-eight different crops annually. In 1992, Frank Falck, M.D., Ph.D., assistant professor of surgery at the University of Connecticut School of Medicine, examined the tissues from suspicious breast lumps in forty women and found that those which were cancerous had higher levels of PCBs, DDT, and DDE (a DDT byproduct) than the benign tissues. Dr. Wolff, professor of community medicine at Mt. | | According to the environmental working group, every day one million US children under the age of five consume unsafe levels of pesticides that are known to harm their developing brain and nervous system. An analysis of the federal information is that most of the risk comes from five organophosphate insecticides: methyl parathion, dimethoate, pirimiphos methyl, and azinphos methyl. The foods most likely to contain toxic levels are peaches, apples, nectarines, popcorn, and pears. The baby foods most likely to have unsafe levels are pears, peaches, and apple juice. |

See book keywords and concepts |  In 1995, the environmental working group (ewg) put out a booklet called Pesticides in Baby Food. They had tested eight foods (applesauce, garden vegetables or pea and carrot blend, green beans, peaches, pears, plums, squash, and sweet potatoes) made by the three major babyfood producers—Gerber®, Heinz®, and Beech-Nut®—which account for 96 percent of all baby food sales. All samples were purchased at retail from grocery stores in Philadelphia, Denver, and San Francisco and tested for pesticides using the fda's approved standard analytical methods. |
Michael Castleman
See book keywords and concepts |  In 1993, the environmental working group, a Washington, DC. -based consumer organization, analyzed 24,000 samples of fruits and vegetables and discovered that half contained pesticide residues. A 1991 study by the USDA showed similar results-. 58 percent of 2,900 samples showed pesticide residues.
Pesticide applications to U.S. food crops soared from near zero in 1940 to more than one billion pounds in 1987. Fear of exposure to even trace amounts of these chemicals is the major reason that a growing number of Americans now spend more than $1. |
Leo Galland
See book keywords and concepts |  In November 1995, the environmental working group, a research and advocacy organization in Washington, D.C., rated forty-two fruits and vegetables for pesticide contamination, based upon a study of fifteen thousand samples conducted by the FDA during 1992 and 1993. They used seven rating criteria, including the percentage of each crop with detectable pesticide residues and the known toxicity of each type of residue. The group calculated that 50 percent of food pesticide exposure occurs through consumption of twelve foods. |
