Pesticides and ADHD

This is my current fixation - the poison in our produce that could be damaging our children's nervous systems.

This is old news to many I'm sure, but it's my present focus. I came across the link between ADHD and the pesticide Chlorpyrifos, and when I factored in my son's love of apple peels and my daughter's aversion to them, a lightbulb went off in my head.

My son is the reason I started this research, and he is the one who cannot eat enough apples, peels and all. He also loves grapes and celery, and cucumbers with the peel. It's a shame. He loves produce, and yet may be unwittingly ingesting toxins that could be shortening his attention span, delaying his cognitive development, and even creating gross motor difficulties.

My husband and I have agree to try organic produce for awhile, to see if it makes any difference. As I write this, my son is one week away from starting grade one, where he will be faced with six long hours each day behind a desk. I wonder.. could his previous attention difficulties in Kindergarten be from something as simple as chemical toxicity?
