I saw an article about Swiss people on another sub. I guess it relates to us, Swiss ?
What a brillant idea it was to reject the last initiatives. Let’s go and accelerate toward a future of mutants !
Two caveats I immediately see here:
– Sample size of 14 (!) individuals
– they not only tested for Neonicotinoids (NNs) but also for their metabolites
With a sample size of 14 that’s hardly saying anything. The paper even sais that they were only testing whether these substances and their metabolites can be found, not how prevalent such a finding would be.
While having found the metabolites isn’t great either (it still means NNs were in the body at some point), it’s also not quite as bad, as the NNs were actually dealt with by the body at least to some extent.
Not in anyway saying these are great results, but it’s also not quite as bad as the commenters in the other sub make it out to be.
What can i do as a regular person to avoid this inside me?
That’s how it is when the dominating culture consists of uneducated boomers who only care about their own short term benefits. Don’t even get me started on how it impacted fish in the lakes.
