#theBeeAt3 Basic bee facts every day at 3pm. # 313 Glyphosate Based Herbicides (GBH) are the most widely used #pesticides globally. Increased use of genetically engineered glyphosate-tolerant crops which allow GBH application throughout the growing season hugely increases GBH exposure with severe consequences for #bees and ecosystems. #food #nature #insects #science #education #biodiversity #environment #worldbeesanctuary #vegan

"A surprising new study suggests that eating a very healthy diet—packed with fruits, vegetables, and whole grains—might be linked to a higher risk of lung cancer in younger non-smokers. Researchers found that patients under 50 diagnosed with lung cancer often had better-than-average diets, raising the possibility that pesticide exposure from conventionally grown produce could be a hidden culprit." Eating more fruits and vegetables tied to unexpected lung cancer risk https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2026/04/260417224454.htm https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2026/04/260417224454.htm #nutrition plantbased #food #organic #diet #farming #agriculture #pesticides #health #PublicHealth #cancer #GoVegan

I noticed around twenty years ago that insects in Europe were in serious decline. It didn’t even need a ‘scientific study’ and I use the same methodology today. In the 1980s, in summer, when I drove in Europe, the windscreen of my car was covered in dead insects after only 100km of driving. By the early 2000s this was no longer true. Many fewer bug-splats on the glass. Now? Hardly any at all. You cannot blame Climate Change for this. This is down to excessive pesticides and farming techniques. Now studies show bird populations in serious decline. Ever wonder what they used to eat? We learnt nothing from the DDT fiasco, apparently. #insects #flies #driving #Climate #ClimateChange #pesticides #farming #environment #Birds #bioaccumulation #systemcollapse

Pour protéger ses habitants des pesticides, une commune rachète les terres agricoles avoisinantes https://basta.media/Pour-proteger-ses-habitants-des-pesticides-commune-LHoumeau-rachete-terres-agricoles-avoisinantes-Charente-Maritime À L'Houmeau, près de La Rochelle, la mairie acquiert des parcelles cultivées avec des pesticides pour les mettre en prairie. « La santé n'a pas de prix », assure l'édile. Un choix politique qui lui a valu des menaces d'une figure locale de la FNSEA. #Politique #Reportages #AgricultureBio #Pesticides #AlternativesAuxPesticides #Municipales2026

@sarahtaber@mastodon.online There is a reason we have the FDA and regulations. Safe Food!!! I often wonder if my wheat issues are more related to pesticides. In particular ones banned by the EU. If the food is EU safe, I can eat it. #Pesticides #FoodIntolerance #FDA #SafeFood
