Fiber Cures You of Pesticide Disease! | Educational Video | Layne Norton PhD

Admin0 commentsUncategorized

A new study (PMID: 40190760) examined the effects of pesticide exposure on hypertension at both low (less than 17g fiber/day) & high (more than 17g fiber/day) fiber intakes. The researchers found that pesticide exposure increased the risk of developing hypertension by ~20-40%.

Except in people who consumed high fiber which had no increased risk of developing hypertension in spite of their exposure to pesticides

Does this mean that fiber has some magical property that detoxes you?

Unlikely

What it means is that people who consume low fiber with high amounts of pesticides are likely getting their pesticide exposure from low quality foods & the consumption of low quality/low fiber foods is increasing their risk of hypertension whereas people who are consuming high fiber are eating high quality foods & have an overall high diet quality even if they are at high exposure to pesticides and then magically pesticides don’t increase hypertension

That’s because it’s probably not about pesticides. Another example is in people who formerly or currently smoked, pesticide exposure increased the risk of hypertension, but not in people who never smoked. If pesticides independently increase risk, shouldn’t we expect them to increase the risk across the board regardless of other behaviors & lifestyle?

Another example is lower income people had increased risk of hypertension with pesticide exposure, but not high income individuals. Please explain that one to me? It’s because this is less about the pesticides & more about the OVERALL LIFESTYLE

I’m not saying pesticide exposure is good for you. I’m just saying this data is less about the pesticides & more about people’s overall lifestyle & the association of hypertension with pesticide exposure is confounded by MANY lifestyle factors

PSA: even organic foods are sprayed with pesticides. It’s just that they are ‘organic’ pesticides, many of which have LESS safety data than non-organic pesticides 🤷
