品 Pesticide = Food is toxic? Pesticide residue = harmful to the human body?

It is wrong to simply and rudely draw the two equal numbers.

Large doses of pesticides can cause acute and chronic toxicity of the human body, and also cause pollution to the environment. However, pesticide residues do not mean that they must be harmful to the human body. Pesticides are not equal to toxic drugs.

my country's Food Safety Law has clearly banned the use of toxic and highly toxic pesticides in crops such as vegetables, fruits, tea, and Chinese medicinal materials. Various pesticides allowed in foods also have corresponding national standards for food safety. In the "GB2763-2021) in" Food Safety National Standard Foods "(GB2763-2021), the maximum residual limit of each pesticide is clearly stipulated. Causes health risks.

敌 Can you only rely on natural enemies to control pests, do you need pesticides at all?

my country is a large agricultural country, agricultural products are the main sources of food, and pesticides are the main forces to control diseases and grass pests.

At present, chemical prevention is still the most convenient, stable, fastest, most effective, most reliable, and cheapest prevention and control method. It is unrealistic to rely on natural enemies to prevent pests, especially when encountering sudden and invasive biological disasters At the time of occurring, there is no prevention method that can replace chemical pesticides.

In fact, as early as 1,000 BC, pesticides have begun to be used. In the well -known "Compendium of Materia Medica", the pesticides of the stones and majesty are also recorded. Especially with the development of science and technology and the use of chemical pesticides, it can effectively prevent diseases and insect pests, increase crop yield, and increase economic income. For the development of agricultural production and socio -economic, pesticides can be described as "good medicine" and indispensable.

At present, no country can achieve completely zero pesticides in agricultural production. Reasonable use of pesticides can effectively eliminate diseases and grass pests, and better ensure the output and product quality of crops.

可 Correctly handling fruits and vegetables can effectively reduce pesticide residues?

Although pesticide residues are unavoidable, it is not as terrible as people think. Generally speaking, pesticide residues are harmful to health. It refers to the situation where pesticide residues exceed the standard. As long as the vegetables on the market meet the standards, they generally do not cause damage.

In daily life, as long as the following points are achieved, you can easily reduce pesticide residues:

▶ Purchase vegetable fresh fruits through regular channels, such as regular markets, supermarkets and online food platforms;

▶ When processing vegetables, it is best to cut off the vegetables near the ground; cut off the cuts of vegetables such as green peppers; for the fruits and vegetables with skin, such as radish, potatoes, loofah, apples, pears, etc. The method of peeling is removed.

▶ Thorough cleaning before eating fruits and vegetables can effectively reduce the amount of pesticide residues.
