Episode notes
Of the thousands of chemicals that we know that plants produce as defense chemicals, only 52 have been tested in rodents to see if their carcinogens were. Americans eat about 1.5 grams of natural pesticides per person per day - 10,000 times more than they eat of synthetic pesticide residues. Many of these things are difficult to study, but there have been some small forays into actually studying these compounds. But a lot of them are unknown.
