What’s the impact of mixing chemicals together?

Tell me, what happens when you mix raspberry sauce into chocolate pudding? Well, if you like chocolate desserts…you may find the blending of flavors quite wonderful. Same thing with coffee and sugar… and say cream…not bad, right.

The point I am trying to make is that when things are mixed they act on each other. In these cases…with reasonable impact. But, what about adding vodka to orange juice? Different impact, and somewhat dangerous. Okay, so the real point… when we mix chemicals together in our water or on our crops…or even inside of our bodies, well…they have the potential to act upon each other and create new chemical compounds that may be dangerous.

This is especially true if these chemicals are toxins to start with… say different insecticides or pesticides used on or around those raspberries and the Cocoa … Consider that if these are broad spectrum pesticides that can kill the bugs and weeds, they probably can hurt us too. And if these dangerous chemicals are building up in our bodies they have the potential to combine and become even more toxic over time.

It is time to stop ignoring what we all should understand… toxins will impact all living things, we are not immune to them…only our size and the limits on the dosage help to reduce effects on us…and the more we accumulate over the years, the more damage they will do to us.

Oh, and we should be demanding that chemical combinations, not just isolated chemicals be tested for the toxic impact that they may cause.
