Controversial even among doctors but we known they aren't good for water or the environment so it should come as no surprise that they aren't good for our bodies either.

Thanks for posting.

Of course these chemicals are not good for you and those M.D.s that believe to the contrary, I wonder if they let their kids play on their pesticide-ridden lawns.

50 years - I often wondered about the increased diagnoses in medical conditions such as Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), etc.

Not to mention the loss of pollinators such as bees.

I don't know. I've been living around beautiful, weed-free lawns my entire life, and I'm still alive. I have a blue grass lawn and if I didn't use weed preventers on it, I wouldn't have a lawn any more. All the parks in our neighborhood have nice grass that they put pesticides and week killer/preventers on. There's no escaping it.

A wave may start as a single point in time and space. Being part of wave even if you are the ripple is intrinsic to the wave's affect.
