Und so ist das Präcautionary-Prinzip nicht ein verfügbarer Weg, wenn du ein Mensch bist, der in einem Welt existiert, richtig? or mowing your lawn, all of these things have risk, right?

So if you were to apply the precautionary principle, then you would be sitting paralyzed in a box because you wouldn't be able to do anything. The reality is you have to take a realistic risk-based approach to your life. And that's really where this risk perception gap comes into play because this type of rhetoric scares people about things that are not the big picture, right? These...

Das ist nicht die Lösung. Auf der anderen Seite... None of the food products are doused with pesticides, right? Pesticides are used at very specific parts of a growing cycle and they degrade, they deteriorate. Nobody is spraying finished produce with pesticides. And so these sorts of fixations are not actually looking at things that pose a real risk to health.

So if that is feasible in your lifestyle, but the solution is not buying organic because those are still covered in chemicals, right? Like this, this is the false dichotomy, right? Es ist eine Fixierung oder eine Dämonisierung von synthetischen Dingen über natürliche Dinge ohne Kontext. Wenn du deinen chemischen Ausdruck reduzieren willst, dann musst du das zu Chemikalien anbieten.

Ich stimme mit ihr. Und dein Körper kümmert sich nicht darum, ob ein Chemikalien synthetisch oder natürlich ist. It only cares what the functional groups are, what the chemical structure is and how it actually interacts with your body.

If you take vitamin C and you extract it from an orange or a green pepper, because they have lots of vitamin C too, that vitamin C is going to be chemically identical to vitamin C that is synthesized entirely in a laboratory. Your body... Does not care whether it came from a natural source or whether it was synthesized.

Glyphosate is not in the body in any measurable amount. Well, it gets into the body from the food we eat. In parts per trillion. In parts per trillion, I want to do a little tutorial on glyphosate because it's used as a poster child. Glyphosate is an herbicide and it acts on an enzyme called ESPS in plants.

It is an enzyme that is used to synthesize specific amino acids that a plant needs because a plant photosynthesizes, right? It's not eating food, so it needs to make its own amino acids so that it can grow and have structure. So those amino acids are used to create structural proteins for a plant.
