Organic pesticides include rotenone, which has been shown to cause the symptoms of Parkinson's Disease and is a natural poison used in hunting by some native tribes; pyrethrum, which is carcinogenic; sabadilla, which is highly toxic to honeybees; and fermented urine, which I don't want on my food whether it causes any diseases or not.

Supporters of organics claim that the much larger amounts of chemicals they use is OK because those chemicals are all-natural. But just because something is natural doesn't mean that it's safe or healthy

Oh that's clever.

Comparing natural fruit and vegetables we have been eating for centuries to... "fermented urine".

And the "just because it's natural doesn't mean it's safe" is preconditioning you to remember that "safe" food = GMO.

BTW, the results of "scientific research" these days is usually dictated by those who fund it...
