GREEN FINGERS Urgent warning to gardeners as soil ‘increases risk of killer heart disease’ (wear a mask while gardening)
The Sun ^ | 7/1/2022 | Terri-Ann Williams

GARDENERS have been warned that their habit could leave them at an increased risk of heart disease.

Medics found that pollutants in the soil could have a 'detrimental effect on the cardiovascular system'.

The results of the analysis pushed experts to recommend that people wear a face mask, if they are in close contact with the soil.

Experts at the University Medical Center Mainz, Germany said pollution of air, water and soil is responsible for at least nine million deaths each year.

They highlighted that more than 60 per cent of pollution-related deaths are due to heart issues such as strokes, heart attacks, heart rhythm disorders and chronic ischaemic heart disease.

Writing in Cardiovascular Research, a journal of the European Society of Cardiology, the authors said soil pollutants include heavy metals, pesticides, and plastics.

As a now-retired Horticulturalist/Botanist for the past 36 years, unless you’re eating chemical-soaked soil, I call BS on this.

The real danger is nitrates in the fertilizer. Absorbs through the skin.

As opposed to the nitrates you eat when you eat the food farmers grow. All plants are made up of Nitrogen in part.

"... I call BS on this ..."

Really.
I've been working in my vegetable and flower gardens for decades.
Started working on vegetable and azalea gardens with my dad when I was 5 years old.
I'm now 58.

If this stuff were true - I'd be long-dead.
And the human race would also be long-extinct, for that matter...

Cain was the first gardener mentioned in the Bible. He grew his crops in the Garden of Eden at the beginning of time.

Humanity has be gardening since then.

They survived, and even thrived, and not one of them wore a mask.

Which I do (grow my own food) in fairly large quantities.

They don’t want people to be out in the sunshine as they garden healthy vegetables.

Gardners, farmers and landscapers keeling over left and right. Florists hardest hit ...

3000 years BEFORE Cain, farming was going on in the fertile lands of India. Now India has a population of 1400 Million. Just saying.

Looks like an attempt to make us forsake gardening and eat BILL GATES fake vegetables.
