They’re now going to sell it to the Chinese, who will sell it to us.

“A survey of their fields and mills revealed that some of their wheat was indeed contaminated with Aristolochia clematis seed. Back in the lab, Grollman and his colleagues examined kidney samples from Croatian nephropathy patients. They found the same telltale signs of DNA damage linked to Aristolochia clematis as seen in animal studies.”
This sounds like the seed gets mixed in with the harvested wheat and then, when it is milled, the ground-up seed is thoroughly incorporated in the final flour causing the observed problems.
A simple hand weeding process might save thousands of lives.

Do a google search for Aristolochia clematis, one site is selling it a an herbal remedy to female herpes, the next site is warning that the entire plant is a poison.
This is an endemic problem though, and arguably the basis for German and Austrian beer purity laws so many centuries ago.
