The Real Health Concern: The “Cocktail Effect”
The issue isn’t always a single pesticide—it’s the combination.
Experts often refer to this as the “cocktail effect”, where multiple chemical residues may be present at once. Even if each one is within legal limits, the long-term impact of repeated exposure is still being studied.
Some concerns include:
- Possible effects on the hormonal system (endocrine disruption)
- Increased sensitivity for children and pregnant women
- Long-term exposure risks from frequent consumption
While the science is still evolving, many experts agree: awareness is key.
