Hormones to grow pesticides to store wheat

[Guest guest]

HORMONES ON WHEAT?

Sounds strange, but farmers apply hormone-like substances or " plant

growth regulators " that affect wheat characteristics, such as time

of germination and strength of stalk.11 These hormones are

either " natural, " that is, extracted from other plants, or

synthetic. Cycocel is a synthetic hormone that is commonly applied

to wheat.

Many of these pesticides function as xenoestrogens, foreign estrogen

that can reap havoc with our hormone balance and may be a

contributing factor to a number of health conditions. For example,

researchers speculate these estrogen-mimicking chemicals are one of

the contributing factors to boys and girls entering puberty at

earlier and earlier ages. They have also been linked to

abnormalities and hormone-related cancers including fibrocystic

breast disease, breast cancer and endometriosis.13
