Toxins and Pesticides Remover

Pesticides are important. They help farmers grow more food on less land by protecting crops from pests, diseases, and weeds as well as raising productivity per hectare. Without crop protection, including pesticides, more than half of the world's crops would be lost to insects, diseases, and weeds. Currently, about 925 million people around the world – one in seven of us – are going hungry. To reduce hunger, we need to increase food productivity. Pesticides help farmers do that. Pesticides not only protect from insect pests, weeds, and fungal diseases while they are growing, but also prevent rats, mice, flies, and other insects from contaminating foods whilst they are being stored. They safeguard human health by stopping food crops from being contaminated by fungi.

The pesticides or other toxic chemicals used to protect the crop may remain on or in the food after they are applied to food crops. The maximum allowable levels of these residues in foods are stipulated by regulatory bodies in many countries. These pesticides or similar toxic materials can be harmful to humans and animals. If consumed along with the food, they can cause acute or chronic health effects. Examples of acute health effects include stinging eyes, rashes, blisters, blindness, nausea, dizziness, diarrhea, and even death. Examples of known chronic effects are cancers, birth defects, reproductive harm, immunotoxicity, neurological and developmental toxicity, and disruption of the endocrine system.

Globally, consumers normally use cleaning methods like washing, peeling, cooking, etc., to remove these residues. Studies across many organizations show these methods can remove 70-80%, which is inadequate in protecting health against hazards from pesticide or toxic residues in or on the food materials. Lack of a convincing solution to this problem to date has kept all of us in darkness. Though many conventional methods are being used across, none of them were scientifically proven to get a desired result, without altering the taste, texture, and shelf life of the material being treated.
