Film: Our Daily Poison

According to the World Health Organization, cancer rates have doubled over the last 30 years, and increasing rates of Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s diseases, autoimmune disorders, and reproduction dysfunction have also been observed. Our Daily Poison is a new documentary from Icarus Films and is divided into three distinct but interrelated sections, challenging the conventional wisdom on our agriculture and food systems.

Our Daily Poison is a shocking documentary film that reveals a broken safety system concerned more with protecting trade secrets than human health. (In one key moment, a member of the UN agency responsible for setting acceptable daily limits of poisonous chemicals admits that the numbers are “theoretical” and have “nothing to do with the real world.”) The film shows that the main cause of the epidemic is environmental: it is the result of the 100,000 chemical molecules that have invaded our environment, and primarily our food, since the end of the Second World War.
