Bev, and any other chemists on the list, what is your reaction to this?

Not a chemist.

'James was a chemist
But now he is no more
For what he thought was H20
Was really H2SO4'


Oh Sh$%%^&&***!!!!!




Not a chemist, but the premise of that article is pure BS and the writer must surely be on the take from chemical companies or else permanently brain damaged by their products.

I agree.

The human chemistry rids itself of toxins by means of 'chemical channels'. There is a specific chemical reaction, for example, to heavy metals. The body knows perfectly well how to rid itself of arsenic, lead, mercury, etc. and those elements in their toxic form are present in food and water and always have been. Nor are the effects cumulative. If you are exposed to levels of arsenic below what the chemical channel can handle, it is exactly the same as if you were not exposed at all.

Sorry James, you will have to prove this to me..



Gardens raised for food (as opposed to 'for sale') need only address substantial damage and needn't worry about cosmetic damage. Most industrial agribusiness toxins dispensed are to prevent cosmetic damage and don't improve the quality of the food a bit.

That, we can agree on, 100%.

James already mentioned the big 'natural' groups of pesticides, the nightshades, the nicotines, the pyrethrins, rotenone, BT etc. But one thing I have found that he did not mention is that natural 'cides tend to have 'evolved' to be species specific, where commercial 'cides take a shotgun approach.
