Re: Organochlorine Pesticides and Vitamin D Deficiency

Well what a find! I have been reading a lot about people not being able to get their 'D' levels up. One of the pesticides is β-hexachlorocyclohexane. I think you can get this at Tescos:-0From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:β-hexachlorocyclohexane (β-HCH) is an organochloride which is one of the isomers of hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH).[1] It is a byproduct of the production of the insecticide lindane (γ-HCH). It is typically constitutes 5-14% of technical grade lindane,[2] though it has not been produced or used in the United States for more than 20 years.[1] To: "Autism-Biomedical-Europe " <Autism-Biomedical-Europe > Sent: Monday, 6 February 2012, 20:58 Subject: Organochlorine Pesticides and Vitamin D Deficiency
