Cute video up until the "cancer" part. Chemical are not inherently dangerous, so unless you have some multiple REAL peer reviewed scientific studies to back that up, it's kind of a fear mongering statement. Based on long term studies there is no link between chlorpropham has no link to cancer in animals.

[Suzanne Bartlett]

This was in no means intended as a peer-reviewed study! Just an observation that people have found to be VERY interesting!

[Tony D]

There are no real peer reviewed scientific studies, only fraud committed by drug companies, and those that get paid by drug companies. The little girl is right about the cancer. Eating organic, prevents cancer, and will allow your body to cure the cancer. It's a fact. Anytime you want to put your money where your mouth is, we can do studies and stream them live online, because it is true, cancer is curable, and caused by chemicals in food an other things, that are called safe, but are not safe.

[Suzanne Bartlett]

Cancer is not always curable. . . Elise has near and dear evidence of that:(

Are you seriously accusing a little girl's science project of not having enough peer-review? Do you make your scientific decisions based on science fairs? xD

[Suzanne Bartlett]

Ha! Great question:)

[Rebecca Cares]

None of us have difficulty understanding the difference between peer-reviewed science and a claim by a child. The more I research 'peer-reviewed' science and see how many results are biased and skewed as a result of drug company influence and the desire for scientists to get published the less I trust it. I would tend to trust the innate wisdom of children more these days. Modern science does not have all the answers and oftentimes its answers are wrong.

[Susan Taylor]

Actually, cancer or no cancer just looking at the results of her "experiment" is enough to tell you that the organic potato from the organic market is a healthier specimen. Really, what more is there to consider if you are going to eat it???

[Gina Bara]

some people should do more review on the chemicals they eat....before they discredit a little girls project, because she is correct

[Chris S]

Kate did not accuse the girl's science project of not having enough "peer review" but rather criticized the claim made my the girl, that BudNip causes cancer, as not being substantiated by good peer reviewed science. Apparently some of you have difficulty understanding the difference. Also, Tony, your reply consists of nothing but unsubstantiated assertions. Saying "it's a fact" does not make it so. All this experiment really shows is that BudNip works, cuteness of presentation not withstanding.

this is why i want to have my own farm

[darris321]

And where did you get that information if there are no real peer reviewed scientific studies?

I find it really hard to believe that there are NO peer reviewed scientific studies xD

[Laura Mesick]

What a great video, and adorable too. The earlier we start eating healthy, the better! I saw in a video once, "What you don't pay in price for food, you pay in your health." I believe that to be true! And thanks to this, well, clearly we have an answer. Stick to organic and feel the difference in your body. it's great :)

[James Brookins]

Glad to know that some adults out there care enough to teach the kids about growing good food. About the possible affects of the chemicals. If you're going to eat, why not eat well.
