In yet another example of how these weird chemicals have become essentially ubiquitous in the modern American diet, well a new study just came out showing that

a pesticide that's been linked to infertility was found in

upwards of 80% of the people here in America. Specifically, this was a paper that was

published in the Journal of Exposure Science and Environmental

Epidemiology and it was titled A Pilot Study of exposure signs and environmental epidemiology,

and it was titled,

a pilot study of chlormocat in food and urine

from adults in the United States from 2017 to 2023.

With the term pilot study,

meaning that previously, this wasn't something that was

being measured and there's a good reason for that.

Because you see the chemical that's in question is called chlormocat. It's a pesticide

that very few people here in the US have heard about previously because prior to the

year 2018 it was actually not allowed to be used in food.

Here's how this is described in the context of this actual study.

Quote,

Clormacat chloride is an agricultural chemical first registered in the US in 1962 as a plant growth

regulator, although currently only allowed for use on ornamental plants in the US.

A 2018 decision by the EPA permitted the import of foods, primarily grains, treated with

chlorocat.

In the European Union, the United Kingdom and Canada, chlorocat chloride is approved for use

on food crops, primarily wheat, oats, and barley.
