The old professor told you the truth about hormone pesticides. "ripening agents" and "dilatins" are not scourges.
Now the online discussion about the heavy use of pesticides, especially hormone drugs in fruits and vegetables is becoming more and more hot, and many people say that they no longer dare to eat fruit. Especially when it comes to hormonal drugs, many people are even more frightened for fear that they will have an impact on people, so are hormonal drugs as harmful to the human body as people think?
The editor talked to an old agronomy professor and said, in the words of the old professor, "swelling agents and ripening agents are not scourges."
When it comes to hormones, those who have been to high school should have learned in class. Hormones are divided into animal hormones and plant hormones, and the two do not interact. And we often use hormone pesticides, which are naturally plant hormones, which affect plant growth by acting on plants.
Expansion agents, generally gibberellin and cytokinins, have many effects, such as promoting flower bud differentiation, preventing fruit aging, stimulating fruit growth, etc.; ripening agents, that is, ethephon, which can promote fruit ripening, stimulate bleeding, regulate sex transformation and other effects. The hormones that affect human beings, including growth hormone, thyroxine, and so on, have nothing to do with dilators and ripening agents, which are recognized as harmless to the human body, and ripening agents have a certain stimulating effect on sensitive parts, but there is no carcinogenic and other pathological effects.
And it is worth mentioning that the dosage of these hormone pesticides is very strict, and a slight deviation in concentration will cause a fatal blow to crop growth, and this amount is very small. There is no case of large-scale use and residue (of course, people with ulterior motives do not know), after all, these drugs are very expensive, and special crops need special dispensing institutions.
In fact, in agricultural production, it is true that a lot of pesticides are used, not only hormone pesticides, but also various fungicides and pesticides, but no matter what kind of pesticides, they will not be overused. One is the problem of cost. Second, excessive use of plants will be crucial. Basically, 99% of the fruits and vegetables you see are safe to eat.
Of course, that doesn't mean you don't wash vegetables.
