What’s the difference between organic farming and regular farming?is it true chemical fertilizers cause cancer

Tuesday, July 22nd, 2008

Chemical pesticides and fertilizers can cause cancer, neurological problems, and reproductive problems in sufficient quantities. In general, farm workers are more at risk from these effects than consumers, not that I would consider that a good reason not to buy organic.
