Chlormequat is water soluble and it is rapidly metabolized, meaning its detection in humans and animals suggests regular exposure to the chemical.

The Biden administration is allowing chlormequat to be more widely used.

Remind you local liberal of this when he/she/ze/zir tell you Republicans want to poison the children.

Cheerios causing sterility. Also myocarditis. Also blood clots.

back in the 80’s back folks were saying that the US was trying to sterilize them with stuff in chicken

Maybe they were not far off from the truth-

The name reminds me of something that happened in the 70s involving marijuana.

I worked for the summer of 1981 right next door to the General Mills Cheerios factory in Buffalo, NY.
It was/still is right on the river where they pull in the grain boats. Right off Lake Erie.

There was an empty grain elevator on the other side of the warehouse I was working in. If they burned a batch of Cheerios they came out on a conveyor and dumped into a big pile in the parking lot. They gave those away. People would come and fill trash cans to feed to their livestock. At night the rats came out of the river and the abandoned elevators. HUGE WELL FED RATS.

This was also on Ohio Street in Buffalo. It was the site of night time drag races. There was a bar down the street we would go for lunch. A draft beer was $.45. Regular price. Not happy hour.

Also, the guy I worked for was a mobster. He had recently sold his garbage company to BFI. He still owned a land fill in Niagara Falls, NY back then.

Speaking as a person who spent years in charge of a Hazmat Team. Dosage and concentration are what we worried about. Detectable levels in the parts per billion range are basically meaningless. We had a saying, “The solution to pollution is dilution.” And as scary as that might sound to some people it is the truth. Most substances are not harmful at all in very low concentrations.

I have not researched chlormequat but from wikipedia “chlormequat is classified as a low risk plant growth regulator and it is registered for use on ornamental plants grown in greenhouses, nurseries, and shadehouses.” If my team and I had responded to a spill... this would not have been something that would have cause much concern.

After testing for the presence of chlormequat in urine collected from 96 people between 2017 and 2023.


This is grounds to study in more detail, rather than taking any particular action. That is a pretty small sample size.

The Environmental Working Group, headquartered in Washington, DC.

Oh, yeah!!!

Here ya go: Make climate a priority in the 2023 Farm Bill

If you're going to push their propaganda, be sure to push ALL of it.

Tell your senators to suppor the Feinstein-Collins cosmetics bill.

Because you can trust the Environmental Working Group.

“found a staggering 80% of Americans tested positive for a harmful pesticide called chlormequat. Since chlormequat typically leaves the body within 24 hours, such a high concentration of positive tests indicates that Americans are regularly being exposed to the pesticide”

not buying for one second that 80% of Americans are eating oats on a daily basis.

Almost all oats stocks come from Canada. They grow the best. Oats grown in the states are stunted and unreliable in comparison. I worked maintenance at an oatmeal producer. Also don’t buy flavored oatmeal. That’s dumb and unhealthy.

that is linked to reduced fertility, altered fetal growth, and delayed puberty.

This is no 'accident'...............

Read that carefully...delayed puberty.

What that means is a lake of normal sexual hormones. Which should mean all these kids saying they are ‘transition’ this or that, are likely experiencing a hormone imbalance.

Ultimately, they are not gay, bi, or asexual...their hormones are screwed up!!!!

It is my understanding that oats is one of the few crops that is not currently GMO.

I guess we have to shift over to GMO Wheaties and GMO Corn Flakes.

We’ve certainly got a sickly and stupid populace, and this is just one of many environmental assaults they have suffered.

Oh my goodness!

I’d be rich-rich-rich if I had all the money back for all the Quaker oats I consumed as an integral part of about 60-years of bodybuilding...

Don’t know how I’m going to break the news to my 85-year-old wife of 64 years that there are only blanks left in the gun...

Maybe, at 90, I should just not mention it...
If I remember it...
