When his right side seized up after working the fields of his small-holding, Valdemar Postanovicz thought he was having a stroke.

He had absorbed Reglone, a powerful herbicide based on diquat - banned in the UK, but produced here and shipped to Brazil:

Wonderful video doc by @ajplusnet.bsky.social on the double standard of the US, the EU, Switzerland, the UK and others, which allow the export of pesticides banned on their own fields to poorer countries that lack the capacities to control the risks.This must stop!

Excellent reporting by BBC on hidden sugars in Nestlé baby cereals in the Philippines. Our investigation had found nearly 2 cubes of added sugar per serve in a product for 6 months-old babies. A bill to ban added sugar in baby foods has been tabled.
