    Two deadly flowers have big #medical potential
    Two #plants that cause #neurotoxicity and paralysis in the tiniest doses are also known to counter pain, malaria, cancer and pests. For the first time, researchers discovered a way to recreate these powerful compounds in the lab, helping lead the way to improved, naturally-sourced #therapeutics.

  5. Is pesticide spray on food leading to movement disorders?
    Precautionary principle - ban paraquat

    "Paraquat and the related herbicide diquat are fast-acting weedkillers that farming groups say are essential for controlling resistant weeds."

    "Multiple epidemiological studies from different groups of scientists have shown that people exposed to paraquat have around a three times greater risk [of developing Parkinson's disease]."

    'The chemicals have been under review by the APVMA since 1997 and they are banned in the EU, the UK and China due to their toxicity.'

    "There are now multiple epidemiological studies or real-world exposure studies that have suggested that paraquat increases the risk of Parkinson's disease by around threefold...Like Australia, the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) continues to allow restricted use of the pesticide despite ongoing health concerns." >>

  6. "We summarize the toxic effects of #microplastics in cells, organoids, and animals. These effects consist of oxidative stress, #DNADamage, organ dysfunction, metabolic disorder, immune response, #neurotoxicity, as well as #reproductive and developmental toxicity. In addition, the epidemiological evidence suggests that a variety of #ChronicDiseases may be related to microplastics exposure."
