"High Levels of Little-Known Toxic Chemical Detected in 80% of Americans"

A new study by the Environmental Working Group has found chlormequat, a little-known pesticide, in the urine of four out of five people tested. The chemical is linked to reproductive and developmental problems in animal studies, raising concerns about potential harm to humans. The study suggests that consumer exposure to chlormequat could be on the rise, with regulatory changes allowing its use on imported oats and other foods. The Environmental Working Group urges government agencies to test foods for chlormequat and conduct more research on its effects on human health.
