The Risks We Can't Ignore

The Risks We Can’t Ignore

Research now links pesticide exposure to:

Neurodegenerative disorders like Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s

Developmental delays and higher rates of autism spectrum disorders

Obesity and metabolic disruption

Gut microbiome imbalances, which affect everything from immunity to mental health

“Chronic exposure to pesticides has been associated with immune, endocrine, and neurological disorders—even at low levels.”
— World Health Organization (WHO)

Even worse, these compounds can pass from parent to child, disrupting the earliest stages of life. In utero exposure is being studied for potential links to lower IQ, ADHD, and behavioral disorders.

Beyond the Labels

Washing produce or buying "natural" labels doesn’t fully eliminate the risk. Pesticides are often absorbed within the tissue of fruits and vegetables—not just on the surface.

Why It Matters

This is not just about individual choices. It’s a systemic issue with generational consequences. And the burden is disproportionately felt by families who don’t have access to clean, nutrient-dense food.

At Produce Now, we remove that burden. No pesticides. No herbicides. No compromise. Just food you can trust.

Because clean food shouldn’t be a privilege—it should be a standard.

The Risks We Can't Ignore

  • Brain & Nervous System Damage

    Neurodegenerative Risks: Linked to Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s through oxidative stress and genetic vulnerabilities.

    Childhood Development: Prenatal and early-life exposure tied to autism, ADHD, lower IQ, and behavioral issues.
    Gut–Brain Axis Disruption: Pesticides harm gut bacteria, which affects mood, cognition, and brain development.

  • Hormonal & Immune System Disruption

    Pesticides act as endocrine disruptors, affecting hormones tied to growth, fertility, metabolism, and thyroid function.
    Chronic exposure is linked to immune dysfunction and higher susceptibility to allergies, illness, and inflammation.
    WHO warns: “Even low-level exposure can trigger immune, endocrine, and neurological disorders.”

  • Generational & Metabolic Effects

    Transgenerational Impact: Pesticides cross the placenta and may alter gene expression—affecting future generations.
    Metabolic Consequences: Associated with obesity, diabetes, and altered energy regulation.
    Persistent Bioaccumulation: Residues build up in body tissues and organs over time, increasing long-term health risks.
