Welcome to the Dr. Berg's Healthy Keto and Interminate Fasting Podcast, where Dr.

Berg takes you on the journey for the truth about getting healthy and losing healthy weight.

Let's talk about the most widely used pesticide in the world.

Now, it's really hard to pronounce, but you chances are you probably have it in your body right now.

Claw pyrophos. It's on your fruit, it's in your vegetables, it's on the golf courses,

and they detected this pesticide in 90% of U.S. households. But it's in Europe as well,

but it's been banned in several European countries as well as several states in the U.S.

I think it's California, New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut. There might have been one more.

which is an herbicide, which kills weeds, this pesticide kills pests and insects, which means

And there is no acceptable dose to avoid brain damage. In a study in 2016, 9 out of 10

children and mothers had this chemical in their body on urine samples, and I think it was actually

in fat cells. There's been some interesting studies in relationship between this chemical

and increased risk of autism. But of course, if you read up on the internet, they're going to talk
