A new peer-reviewed study, co-authored by one of us, studied pesticide levels in four American families for six days on a non-organic diet and six days on a completely organic diet. Switching to an organic diet decreased levels of Roundup’s toxic main ingredient, glyphosate, by 70% in just six days. This study is part of a comprehensive scientific analysis showing that switching to an organic diet rapidly and dramatically reduces exposure to pesticides. This summer the EU announced plans to halve use of pesticides by 2030 and transition at least 25% of agriculture to organic. As this study shows, the end result is toxic chemicals in our bodies that don’t need to be there.
