It's not just about consuming the pesticide, we also have to think of the workers exposed to pesticides at full strength day after day.
Yes, I thought Roundup was banned in the U. S. and then I saw tons of it at Home Depot. Anyone have more info on where to purchase non-gmo foods??? I’m still researching. It’s a shame that this manipulation of food has been allowed.
Yes, however are aware of what goes on in the industry /also are consumers in the world
They talk about this in one of those vegan type documentaries I can’t remember which one the workers are always sick and have rashes etc it’s sad. Even organic uses these chemicals I know it’s more regulated but they still use them also so not even much better
And our water supply contamination, and the small or microscopic critters that are sacrificed to grow anything without them eating it before it reaches a market. Vegan/vegetarian or recommended western diet is making people sick destroying the environment for greedy corporate interest. Stop supporting the sickcare system...nothing healthy to eat in this video, organic or not.
So true
I know that here in the UK, it has been found that the "organic" labelled food is very often found to contain the same pesticides as non organic. Life is a mine field these days, and those of us who choose to live healthily are made to pay more. It really points to being punished for trying to stand apart from their programs of population control. I can only urge all to grow your own. That way we can step away from our dependency on the system and take sovereignty back into our own hands. Love all. 🙏
That’s crazy (& disappointing).
I believe it's because Roundup is sprayed and it drifts to neighboring farms in the air.
I didn’t that about organic foods here in the UK! Where did you read that?
I love it. We should all get back to basics. So many unnecessary industries cluttering the earth.
@@eatplantsloveanimals same. Since neighbors can't be avoided organic foods can be labeled organic if they have a minimal contamination amount. Probably different from country to country, but probably all less than 10% to their conventional counterpart. I know Germany surely had theirs closer to 1%
I have followed you for a few years and rarely bother commenting. But it seems important to encourage you when determining your place in nutrition empowering content. I have respected your abstaining from polarizing topics in general. This kind of video is helping not hurting. If you took pause before committing to this topic, I am proud of you for choosing to do right by us despite whatever risk you face. Keep this up, Teach!
Thank you!
Such a good comment
I'm so lucky I live in Italy. Down here we have the world's most restrictive laws on pesticides.
You are! We get vegetables and fruit from Italy, they’re sooo good, do much better than Swiss grown.
that's bestiful and you guys have people living in to thier 100 years of age
💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼❣️🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼.
lol the mafia country with plenty of corruption in every level i never buy from italy i saw too much crazy s*** about this country
1. Oats;
Heavily sprayed with glyphospate. Can be linked to rates of dementia. Affects microbiome.
2. Garbanzo/ chickpeas
3. Strawberries
Levels are high for pesticides, but has also the most variety. 300 pounds per acre for strawberries compared to 5 pounds for corn. Linked to lowering male fertility.
4. Spinach and other green leafy veges.
5. Soy. Heavily sprayed with round up.
This kind of video should get the most likes. It has to do with our safety. People need to be more outspoken than they are.
I've been using the baking soda trick for a few years now! As a grad student, 100% organic isn't feasible always but I do my best. In the summer almost all my produce is either foraged or from local farms (which even if they aren't certified organic use organic practices) but in the winter its a bit harder. I do always buy organic soy products, but with grains, nuts and legumes less so. This was a good reminder of the importance of organic practices all around. thanks!
You should do more educational videos like this one!! You are very professionnal and well documented. Keep up the good work, thank you :)
In Europe there is an increasing focus on biological control methods, which involves the use of biological agents rather than chemical ones to control the pest species. It‘s a promising technique but still faces many obstacles. Hopefully it will be further elaborated in the future!
I prefer to purchase Italian made brands when I can just for that reason. Their practices are human focused and not primarily for monetary gain such as the US
Thanks for sharing this!
@@bellakim9404 this is great to know! Thank you 🇮🇹
I just bought a large tub of non organic oats and I was at the store debating whether to spend the same amount for a smaller organic option. Wow. Definitely going back to buy the organic one. Thank you for this!!
Sorry, not trying to make anyone broke or scare anyone. I just care so much for peoples health and don't want to see people fighting an uphill battle! Good on yah.
Me too!
I was pondering the exact same thing at the grocery store an hour ago! I opted for organic today, but I go back and forth. No more. I eat oats every single day, so from now on it's organic all the way. A bowl of oatmeal is still an inexpensive meal, even at $1.00 more per pound for organic.
@@Simnettnutrition Information is always good - we can still make our own choices. I appreciated this content a lot. I think your idea of looking not only at the dirty dozen/clean 15, but at the foods you personally eat a lot of, is a good one. I hadn't thought of it that way before.
@@lindav1403 I always find that I'm way more satisfied with organic foods, it is so easy to over consume foods which are nutritionally weak!
There is a lotttttttttttt to be said for companion planting to protect your food & the bottom line is this, time to go to the "old ways", "Grow Your Own Food", know what your eating & grow what you eat. Get involved in community gardens for food, network. The world is already hinting to not depend anymore on stores, nope, depend on yourself, we have become too lazy. Grow sprouts on your window sill use tower pots "normally used for strawberries" but stick lettuce in there, put up green houses & use filtered rain water.... Break the addiction to store bought food, you can grow on a patio or balcony in a block of flats, get permission to grow on the rooves of buildings because dear hearts, life as we knew it is going going so before it's gone, set up growing your own food. Love your channel btw, i don't often comment but this is important & rally farmers to stop destroying top soil. ≧◠‿◠≦✌Peace
I am SO glad you put this out! They say all disease starts because of a leaky gut!
Hi Derek! Glad to hear you speaking out about this. If you haven't heard of him, Zach Bush is a wealth of information around the whole topic you discussed. He has a global health channel and gives deep dives in to glyphosate and many other interesting topics. He has a non profit called Farmers Foorprint that teachs about and highlights regenerative farming practices. He's a really cool guy. He lobbys in the US against glyphosate. Going to Rock the Park today.Yesterday was an amazingly fun day there.
That’s so cool thanks for sharing about him!
Thanks man I was coming to say basically the same.
Great video Derek. Thank you doing this! I just wanted to add that glyphosate isn’t used in all countries and so isn’t a worry for everyone. I believe its use is banned/limited in some EU countries and Mexico has a plan to phase it out in the next couple of years.
Also - a great way to buy organic produce and support local farmers is to check out CSA options in your area. Can work out a little cheaper than buying from grocery stores, plus it's much fresher.
I've read that glyphosate may be the reason why so many people are celiac or gluten intolerant too. It's not the gluten that is harming people - it's the glyphosate. It's such evil stuff.
Love these educational videos Derek. Would love to see more!
Thank you so much for being on this platform. I learn so much from you every time I watch. Your energy is infectious and I strive to live a life like you. Thanks Simnett!
Thank you so much, what a nice comment!
We eat organic as much as possible, and have for years, but this was very much appreciated and informative. Thank you, Derek!
I found the documentary Kiss the Ground very interesting on this subject. We are ruining our soil and if we turned that around we could have a chance to get the planet back in balance again.
I try to buy organic but if I can’t I always soak the fruit and vegetables in baking soda and water for about 20 minutes. I have been doing this for several years. Happy you made this video to educate everyone.
Thank you. Very informative 👍
I need to get into the habit of doing this!
Interesting
What does the baking soda do
Huge, powerful topic that affects EVERYONE. I'm glad you touched on the topic of this affecting what is fed to livestock and the meat supply--the food chain affects us all, regardless. Frightening to think how vigilant we must be in selecting the foods we eat, just to minimize these additive dangers. Thank you for making this Derek.
P.S. I've already shared this video twice and I will continue sharing it.
Everyone needs to watch this!
Everybody needs to watch this video! Can't believe how many chemicals are in our foods.
Such important information to get out to everyone. I am a cancer survivor who takes eating organic seriously - everywhere possible. This video makes me want to double down even more on organics. Thank you so much for this video.
I also buy organic as long as I have a choice but I'm never sure if it's really organic. Is there a way to check?
@@AsWeSpeak154 All organic CSAs aka Community Supported Agriculture can be a more trusted alternative to supermarkets that source both conventional and organic. Organic CSAs generally have longstanding commitments to sustainable agriculture and public health. Maybe start with doing research for your area to gauge what you’re most comfortable with. Best of luck to you.
I buy organic as much as I can. However, a good friend is from a family of farmers and told me that many organic farms often sit right next to conventional farming. The overspray from conventional farming will end up in organic fields because we can't control the wind. Love your channel!! Keep sharing and educating.
The overspray issue is kinda overstated... to get approved as organic, you need to be a certain distance from sprayed crops. It is 8 meters to 3 km depending on the crop and conditions (for Canada.) I'm sure there could still be some contamination from, groundwater or overspray on an extra windy day, but it's gotta be a lot better than direct spray.
I am transitioning to vegetarianism. You are a huge help!
I don't think I can give up my eggs specially when we raise the chickens and know they are cared for. But I am all abord on all it it deffinatly a slower then I thought transition but worth it so far
Derek your awsome!! Thanks for all that info!! Keep up the great work!! :-)
Great video! I think this is a very important topic that does not get enough attention. Thank you for spreading the message! We only buy organic and if something is not available in organic we do not buy it at all. Yes it might be more expensive in the short term, but you cannot put a price on the health of your family. I rather invest in the health of my family than anything else.
I couldn't agree more with all of this. Thank you for calling it out. I'm also a huge fan of EWG! So great to give them a shout out. Thank you for all you do!
I LOVE when you make educational videos. This was def one of the best ones you've made in a while. Thanks Derek! You are so passionate and talented. 🌱💙😊
Hi Derek! Thank you so much for doing this video - I'm right there with you!! I've been an organic proponent for 30 years. My family thinks I'm a little crazy, but I feel this is extremely important. I have a small, organic vegetable, herb, and flower garden. Glyphosate is so bad. I know someone who sprayed their yard with Roundup. Two days later, he was mowing his yard, in sandals, and he didn't realize he had a tiny cut on his toe. He ended up in the emergency room because his toe started swelling up really badly and he was feeling really sick. When the hospital was trying to figure out what might be wrong, they initially felt he had been poisoned with something (which he really was), this was the only thing he could remember that might be relevant. And, it was! Thank you for all you do. Love your channel, and thank you, again, for this important video.
hopefully everybody who sees this video will share it. for their friends and family.
I am 100% with you on this organic journey. Hate to think sometimes of the crap sprayed on my foods. Grow as much as I can. 💪 ❤️
Foods like celery and leafy greens absorb pesticides. Round up has been found in non organic oats.
I always buy organic.
I also try to follow EWG updates when the rankings can change yearly.
Thanks for the great informative video.
Thanks for having the guts to post this video, it will help remind people.
Thanks Debra!
Nice job Derek. You’re absolutely right. And people are so clueless about this. Maybe you’ve listened to Zach bush MD? Glyphosate disrupts the micro biome. The residence that it is linked to not only Alzheimer’s but to autism and Parkinson’s. Keep up the good work!
People will believe anything these days 😂
Yikes
Listening to the Rich Roll Podcast with Zach Bush was incredibly eye opening for me. It was either the first or second time he was on. Zach Bush does AMAZING work. Seriously, Zach Bush is my #1 fave Dr.!
Check out the work by Farmers Footprint too!
Keep up the great work! - Lisa-Marie Edmunds
@@TravisEdmunds you clearly don’t have a degree in any science field
I try to grow as much as I can and preserve it for the winter to come. But I have a similar growing window as you so the reminder to choose organic as much as possible to vote with my $$. Thanks for the great content!
I often wonder whether I’m just wasting my money on overpriced organic food, especially with the cost of living so high here in the UK at the moment, I see others making cuts here and there and wonder if I could be doing the same with my groceries. But having watched your video I feel bolstered to continue buying organic wherever possible, even if it’s more expensive. Thank you:)
Great video Derek thanks for posting! Love the hat
Thank you for sharing and calling this out!!!! As you said, we speak with our dollars!
Thank you for trying to get the message out there. Its so frustrating I know. At my age this movement against pesticides has been going on my entire life since the sixties. And yet, we continue to grow our food with poison, poison, poison. It defies all logic.
Excellent video. EWG is my go to for learning what's safe to eat. Round Up is hideous. I wish they would outlaw it.
Great video man, it was humble and with a sense of humor for a serious topic. I really appreciate it!
Great video! Come support your farmers market farmers! Kale is only $3 at our stand haha. And always organic, of course!! The system is so screwed up and set to get worse. We’ve got to keep spreading this info and make changes.
Also worth considering which foods are cleaned more easily, removing more pesticides. Like an apple is easier to remove pest. residue compared to kale regardless of amount applied during growth. And I don’t see it as bashing farmers but more showing care for them too since they actually get higher doses of these chemicals than any consumers would. Cost does factor into choosing which foods to buy organic so it’s nice you talk about which ones can have the biggest impact to our health. Although even if the organic produce is prohibitively expensive it’s probably still better to get the regular kale over skipping entirely!
Great video dude! Always enjoyed your educational videos the most! I know it’s difficult with CZcams algorithm but maybe you’d consider doing one per week or something. I think it’s great variety for your channel too. 🌱
Loved the content as usual. I am truly fortunate to live in South America where food is mostly organic and you can support local farmers instead of huge industries. It's quite unfortunate having to pay more for healthier food there but it is worth the effort.
GO ORGANIC HEALTH OVER EVERYTHING
I have started switching to organic options after hauling non organic garbanzo beans out of the field to the processers. The plants are sprayed with Roundup as mentioned in the video and it's said to kill everything but the bean. I have trouble believing that because the plants are so brown and shriveled up, anything that can live through that has to be far from its natural state.
i had a question about this, i’ve seen some videos on tiktok about some farmers saying that the pesticides are fine and people are dumb for buying organic etc etc. since you’ve worked in the fields, why would you think some farmers are opposed to organic? i’ve done my fair share of research and i’d rather still buy organic since it’s better for the soil, better for the people since i would hate to be smelling and being around pesticides all day, and i know organic carries more phytonutrients than conventional.
@@Mylkygoddess but that’s on tik tok…..not very reliable but I think farmers would think that because they feel like they need to be prideful of using pesticides because it’s old school or maybe they can’t afford to go organic or they just deny the effects straight up or they are sponsored by round up/mansantos
If I had to guess farming organically would be much more complex, costly, and time consuming. We are harvesting wheat right now. Truck after truck we haul to the elevators where it is sold as a commodity. Easy for the farmers because that's the traditional system. Subsidies could also be a concern. These are all just guesses as I am talking above my pay grade.
Thanks for doing this video. My family / friends always bring up the fact that organic foods cost so much more, however the health benefits outweigh the cost. While I spend a bit more for organic, they are spending substantially more than that on medical bills.
Not only did I appreciate the information, but also the humor. It is quite alarming what is allowed to enter our food chain.
yes, especially in the US. So many foods and ingredients are banned in other countries but not here. Even though a lot of foods that we eat, think red 40 and titanium dioxide, are in our food yet banned in others.
The algorithm might not love your video but I do, thanks for making it 👍
A simple AMEN to that sums up my beliefs Thanks great video
This is eye opening and one of my favorite Derek videos in recent memory. Organic here I come!
I'm with you. Well said and thanks for reminding us about this. Nice hat!
I will be buying organic from now on, I knew it was better for us but I wanted to stay oblivious to the real facts on why. Thank you for taking away my ignorance
Yes! Let's get this truth out there! Share this video to your family and friends folks. ❤️
Thank you for this video! Ever since I started watching your videos I definitely started buying more organic fruit and produce. I also go to farmers markets and have my own garden when possible.
CHEERS TO YOU DERICK!
Just an awesome awesome awesome wide awakening video of the added pesticides to our foods!
Thank you for this education and your fabulous content!
I APPRECIATE YOU, MAN!
I WILL BUY ORGANIC ONLY!
Thank you Derek! Brilliant content! My Mum has always tried to keep our diet pesticide free. People have always thought we are crazy hippies!
Happy to see this topic being covered. It’s all apart of a healthy lifestyle. Plant based or not.
It's scary, considering what they say is "safe" to eat. Great video, thanks for sharing.
I definitely support organics. Compared to civilized areas of the usa, they are not nearly as plentiful in the UK, France Croatia.... where I've been so far lately. I was in S. France in an ag area. Smog hung over the entire area and we were aware of air quality thru apps. When neighboring fields were sprayed my right lung that has some damage actually ached and my digestion changed. I left the area and everything improved. That said I've found my way and really appreciating experiencing new places.
I thought I was pretty aware of this topic, but turns out I didn't know nearly as much as I thought. Thanks! While this type of video might not be as popular it is greatly needed and appreciate.
God bless you for this video. It's a like going into a battlefield going into a supermarket.
I so agree with you derick,we all survived many years ago when no pestering was being used,it's greed that promotes pestering use and the gmo they do now which hate but we will never truly get rid of it, because if an organic 20 acre farm is next to a farm that sprays then the organic farm will get the rain run off so will it truly be organic,I love your vids keep them coming
Great idea for a video. You did a fantastic job breaking the ag system down.
funny how things/perceptions change over time, about a decade or so ago my view of organic food was of it being pretentiously trendy & elitist but now it's an absolute necessity for good health. The impact of pesticide exposure on gut & microbiome health is now an obvious root cause on all sorts of auto-immune disorders that plague ever increasing amounts of the population nowadays.... Great video 🙏
Thanks for using your platform to talk about this important issue Derek! I didn't know about the beans!
Thanks Derek - one of your best. This will ultimately help farmers; they are hostages in this system. What bugs me is when Monsanto would say "oh, RoundUp only affects tiny organisms". Yeah, like our entire gut microbiome!
Exactly!
Great video. It's hard to eat organic. People are sick because of all these sprays and chemicals . I wish people would push for change keep bringing it up to other people to make better choices. Thanks
Thank you for spreading this knowledge Derek !
I’m healthier because of your CZcams account!! Thanks Derek and Crystal.
That is what I like to hear!
We have a modest sized urban backyard and we are growing our own vegetables and fruit…it’s work, but it’s definitely a safer alternative. One suggestion though. Some small scale farmers at your local farmers markets likely doesn’t have the ability to certify their products as organic. Ask them and they’ll let you know if they spray their product. Many don’t.
Truly thought this video was just going to mention a bunch of ones I generally already knew but I learned a lot, thank you!
Amazing job Derek, thanks for informing all of us. I agree with there being a connection between the pesticide increase & Alzheimer's disease as well. I try to buy organic as well when possible; more expensive up front, but one can't put a price on quality of life.
I usually try to buy as much organic as possible but since the huge increase in inflation & cost of living here in the UK it is getting more and more difficult. I often wonder if I am just wasting my money on expensive foods I can’t really afford, but reading your comment (and others like it) bolsters me to carry on and reassures me that I’m doing the right thing. :)
Excellent video and info! Thanks for taking the time to create and share with us.
I think that these type of videos are my fav, I don't feel I am wasting my time watching them. Thank you
Another thing to note about spraying round up before harvest, wheat!! Apparently a lot of people can go to Europe and eat pasta that can’t here in North America. Some people are thinking it’s actually a reaction to round up versus gluten.
I love how passionate you are around this!
Thank you for taking the time to put this valuable information together. Greatly appreciated. 💚🌱🇨🇦💪
OMG! It's videos like this that make me despair of mankind! We're so intent on killing ourselves 😪 when will people learn???
Thankfully we grow as much of our own food as we can (although global warming is making that much much harder) and buy organic where we can...am also glad we live in france rather than the US or Canada it seems.
Thank you for this video Derek!!
Great video, really appreciate your work!
Thanks for the video and the time for the researches!
WOW! I didn’t know this! Totally shocked! I eat a lot of oats and they are not organic. I will have to look for organic now. I am angry too! As a nurse I work with Alzheimer patients all the time. Such a terrible disease. Thank you for the education and information Derek!
Thank you Derek! Great reminders.
Great video! More of these informational videos that gets the ball rolling for a healthier life and more sustainable future
I came from a third generation local Farm family. And a lot of times farmers were so busy they couldn't do heavy research into organic methods plus the banks oftentimes only gave us the option of keeping up with the Joneses who were out producing us temporarily at least with heavily pesticided herbicided and fertilized crops. One neighbor of ours said if he was more profitable with the benefit of a million dollar loan to use industrialized methods while we couldn't get a loan to do organic techniques. I know in the Southeast a lot of pork producers are enslaved because of contracts they signed to pork corporations. Your voting with your dollars is desperately more important than you appreciate.
Eye-opening. Can always count on your content to bring me back to center in terms of my nutrition. Thank you, Derek!
Wow Derek thanks so much. A lot of really hard work went into this video and I so appreciate it. Will pass it on and share it. Anything to keep you going. Thanks and be well.
Thanks Derek ! I love all your content and especially this video. Thank you for the lessons you give. All the love from NB!
Thank you so much for sharing this Derek! Really appreciate it!
Thank you for the info Derek, we really appreciate it 😊🙏
Completely agree. Keep up the great information!
Spot on! Thanks for covering this topic.
Thanks so much for this much valued reminder!
Thank you for doing this video. That is a lot of important information!
Prefacing what I'm about to say, I'm a long time fan, but I'm also in the STEM field. I'm going to look like a bad guy here and I'm not calling him out, but it's really important to differentiate correlation versus causation, even when the evidence looks really convincing. I also saw that he wore that tin hat, but I still think this is worth addressing directly for people who don't keep this "top of mind".
EDIT: Regardless, I couldn't agree more that organic is usually better. There is so much garbage on and in the food we eat on a daily basis.
Baking soda idea is awesome!! Thank you for that Derrick! And I am so glad you mentioned the farmer’s challenges too.
Verry well explained! Thank you!!
Thank you! Great video! I've shared it with a bunch of people and posted it to FB!
Thank you Derek, that's definitely a good topic!
