I am frankly shocked this information is not making front page news right now. Monsanto will do anything to bury this story and as of right now, its working. Not a single mainstream media outlet has covered this appalling new report that shows millions of people being poisoned by a chemical that does not belong in our food. This chemical is ending up in processed foods like Cheerios, Ritz Crackers, and Oreos and being consumed by humans across the world. The health of millions of people is on the line and this news must go mainstream! Thats why Im calling on every single one of you who reads this post to share this breaking story now. The only way this injustice will be corrected is if enough of us stand up and demand that something be done to stop the poisoning of our food supply.
A FDA-registered food safety laboratory tested iconic American food for residues of the weed killer glyphosate (aka Monsantos Roundup) and found ALARMING amounts.
Just to give you an idea of how outrageous these amounts are, independent research shows that probable harm to human health begins at really low levels of exposure at only 0.1 ppb of glyphosate. Many foods were found to have over 1,000 times this amount! Well above what regulators throughout the world consider safe.
....OMG, that explains why my left arm dropped off last week.........
The MSM has never been a friend of Monsanto, Big Business, Big Pharma or Big Anything so don't you think that they would have gone out of their way to take down Monsanto if given their chance?
It doesn’t matter whether the mix was naturally occurring or not for Paracelsus’ “Only the dose makes the poison” to apply.
Now I remember you--FR's pet liberal.
You make too much sense.
The fun thing is that we are now in an age where those horrible chemical scientists have gotten us to live long enough that these ordinary pleasures become something people actually worry about.
Except that glysophate breaks down in soil as scientific tests have shown for 40 years: http://www.jstor.org/stable/4042278?seq=1#page_scan_tab_contents
Lol, Monsanto must be hurting, they got you for cheap.
It's human nature to fear the things you don't understand. Your comments are a testament to that fact.
Everything is toxic in the right quantities. The dosage makes the poison. Same as it ever was. No one should fear chemicals measured in parts per billion.
Didn’t Monstanto get bought out by Bayer (the old nazi pharmaceutical IG Farben that invented methadone)?
Great, now the company that poisons us can sell us the drugs that cure us. Talk about vertical sales.
I LOVE to bake. Low-carb living kind of put an end to that.
Temporarily. ;)
I am not against pesticide, but if you don’t believe that some of these chemicals, like this one in particular are not harmful, even in small doses, when consumed by humans you are in denial.
The arguement that, pesticides are and overall good, is not a counter argument to some chemicals are indeed toxic to humans.
Agreeing that the science behind this chemical in particular is that it is very dangerous when consumed, and that’s what the science shows, is not a blanket argument against pesticides and weed killers in general.
If you know anyone who will purposefully plant Creeping Charlie in my lawn, let me know, I'll send them my address. If I wanted really piss someone off I would plant Bermuda grass in their lawn.
Oh, I forgot.....this is obama's EPA. I wonder if that might have had anything to do with it.
That stuff is awful, too! Doesn’t grow up here on The Tundra, though.
Luckily! :)
My black Lab died of cancer a few years back. How does a dog get cancer?
The MSM hasn’t done jack about them. Controlled opposition.
Part of that is playing with numbers.
In Japan where they have all those so very old people it is not uncommon to find out that the person has not been seen by the family for years and is apparently living on air.
They keep getting their pension checks, the government gets bragging rights and everybody is happy.
They also play with numbers at the other end. If a baby in the US is born and draws a single breath that is a live birth and a certificate of live birth is issued along with a death certificate when they die in the next moment.
In other countries they say since the child is not expected to live it is not a live birth so the baby's death is not counted.
You can do all sorts of things with numbers if you want, you just have to adjust your parameters.
The amount of the said chemical in processed cereals, etc. if so small that you couldn't live long enough to consume the amount needed to cause cancer of kill you.
What this amount to is a hit piece to get whatever organization the funds it needs to continue trashing the food supply.
Nobody but nobody can research an article like FReepers can. I don’t eat anything on this list anyway so the comments don’t upset me, pro or con. After reading all the comments and visiting the sources provided, my conclusion is this chemical probably won’t do anyone any harm. Thanks to Foodbabe, we now are all smarter than we were yesterday.
