This is why we only sell Certified Organic Beans every Sunday AND happy to say they are on special tomorrow 😁
Just one of the pesticides widely used is Acephate which is an organophosphate insecticide & due to safety concerns it is NO LONGER allowed around homes BUT wait for it, it is used on food crops, citrus trees, as a seed treatment, on golf courses.
The EPA classifies acephate as a "possible human carcinogen." When animals were fed acephate in their diets for two years, a greater number of them had liver or adrenal gland tumors. Mice that were fed high doses of acephate all at once had DNA damage in blood cells. 😲
Acephate kills target insects when they touch it or eat it. When insects eat acephate, their bodies turn it into a chemical called methamidophos, which is another, stronger insecticide 😲. Acephate is less toxic in mammals because mammal bodies do not turn it into methamidophos very well. (That's only less toxic that still means it is TOXIC right?)
Acephate affects the nervous system, causing over-activity in the nerves, muscles, or brain. Acephate is absorbed into plants, so insects (and humans) that eat "normal" green beans eat acephate.
Acephate is moderately toxic to birds & in wild birds exposed experienced reduced eggs, egg hatching, and hatchling survival, and possibly disrupted migratory patterns.
Acephate is slightly toxic to fish and amphibians. After high exposures, salamander hatchlings had decreased growth, activity, and feeding, and increased muscle and spinal column deformities. Acephate is a broad-spectrum insecticide and is HIGHLY TOXIC to bees and other beneficial insects.
Make the choice to look after yourself, your family and the planet.
