Are the pesticide residues in melons, fruits and vegetables harmful?

The harm of pesticide residues the human body takes nutrients from food every day to meet the body's needs. according to the Chinese Nutrition Society, the human body needs about 1 jin of vegetables and fruits, which are the main source of vitamin C. the main types of pesticide residues are organophosphorus and organochlorine every day. If you eat a small amount of residual pesticides, the human body will degrade itself and will not suddenly cause acute poisoning, but long-term consumption of agricultural products without cleaning pesticide residues will inevitably bring great harm to human health. The following editor will introduce some specific hazards of pesticide residues in melons, fruits and vegetables?

1. Lead to the decline of body immunity: after long-term consumption of vegetables with residual pesticides, pesticides can be distributed to nerve synapses and neuromuscular junctions after being absorbed by the blood, directly damaging neurons and causing the death of the central nervous system. leading to a decline in immunity of all organs of the body. For example, frequent colds, dizziness, palpitations, night sweats, insomnia, forgetfulness and so on.

2. Possible carcinogenesis: chemicals often contained in residual pesticides can promote canceration of cells in various tissues.

3. Aggravate the burden on the liver: when the residual pesticides enter the body, they mainly rely on the liver to produce enzymes to absorb these toxins and carry out oxidative decomposition. If you eat fruits and vegetables with pesticide residues for a long time, the liver will keep working to break down these toxins. Long-term overload work will cause liver cirrhosis, hydronephrosis and other dry liver lesions.

4, leading to gastrointestinal diseases: due to the gastrointestinal digestive system stomach wall wrinkles, easy to store poison. In this way, pesticide residues are easy to accumulate in them, causing chronic diarrhea, nausea and other symptoms.

At home, consumers can prepare a portable pesticide residue detector, which is more convenient to use.

Today, the editor of Baibai Safety Network gave a brief introduction to some relevant knowledge about pesticide residues. Please learn more about food safety about how to remove pesticide residues in fruits and vegetables and other food contamination. I hope it can help you.
