Pesticide residues in agricultural products remain a major global concern due to their acute and chronic health risks. Recent literature highlights the impact of insecticides and other chemicals on gut microbiota, metabolic dysfunction, inflammation, and cancer risk. Reviews from 2010–2024 confirm the toxicity of organophosphates, pyrethroids, and neonicotinoids, stressing the lack of standardized biomarkers and global biomonitoring data. Innovative detection technologies and stricter governmental monitoring are needed. Sustainable agricultural practices, reduced pesticide dependence, and safer alternatives are essential to balance food production, human health, and environmental protection.
