綠色和平最新檢測中港兩地 9 個城市共 65 個中藥材樣本,發現逾 74% 含有殘餘農藥,並驗出混合殘餘農藥、多種禁用農藥,以及遠超於歐盟標準的農藥殘留量,情況令人擔憂。問題癥結在於:

缺乏專業指引的藥農在種植源頭濫用農藥
大型中藥品牌在收購藥材過程中缺乏嚴格規管及監控
中國農業部與地方相關部門遲遲未落實農藥減量政策
香港政府監管機制嚴重落後,逾萬種中藥材中只有不足 2% 列入規管
全球有 40 億人曾使用中藥治療,世界市場有多達 7 成中藥材原材料來自中國,因此中國的中藥材殘餘農藥問題影響深遠。請立即登記緊貼最新進展,與我們攜手阻止中藥材繼續受到農藥污染。

Organic coconut oil: A superfood with amazing health benefits

Safest source for sea vegetables
Sea vegetables act like a sponge and absorb minerals and heavy metals in the water. This is why they are such rich sources of calcium, magnesium and iodine but they also can soak up lead, arsenic and cadmium. Many ecologists use sea vegetables as a biomonitor to determine levels of heavy metal pollution in a body of water. They seem to absorb arsenic more than other metals. Hijiki has been tested to have the highest levels of arsenic.
It is always best to look for sea vegetables from a highly reputable company where it is raised in a certified organic manner. With the radiation fall-out in the Pacific Ocean many are concerned this is affecting the iodine of the sea vegetable. This has yet to be proven but always look for clean organic sources. Some of the best are from the clean waters off the coast of Maine.
