It's a scary world for babies and toddlers, with environmental toxins and chemicals putting our kids at risk. Dr. Harvey Karp suggests ways to keep your kids healthy Dr. Harvey Karp, renowned pediatrician and child development expert, has spent the past 20 years looking at children's environmental health. "We all start out healthy, and my job as a doctor is to help parents keep their kids healthy." It's not easy. Children are exposed daily to toxins and chemicals in the environment and in their food, from pesticides to growth hormones to antibiotics. Given their size and their inability to process these harmful materials, kids are exposed to 4 to 5 times the amount of pesticides as an adult. Karp points to organic food as crucial to a healthy child's diet, and notes that it also provides the peace of mind that comes with knowing your food choices are not only good for your baby, but also for the planet. And that's some serious food for thought.
