Sigh, I just saw an article reporting that DDT exposure can have a hereditary impact (in humans). Meaning, a woman’s exposure today can impact her grandkids’ growth and development.
After 70 years, we’re still figuring out how damaging Monsanto’s ‘miracle’ solutions are.
Undaunted, we are frenetically creating untold multitudes of novel compounds every day… regulated only by profitability, in most cases.
Sometimes I wonder if we are going to last long enough to realize how dangerous our pace of progress is.
Ug, thank you so much for sharing this. My grandmother was a nurse in the Army during the Vietnam war and my mother was an MP in California when she had me. I have no doubt they were probably BOTH exposed to DDT. And I experienced early menarche (9!) and have struggled with being overweight my entire life. BAHH.
