We all know that alcoholic drinks are not a health food – and alcohol itself is linked to cancer. But, these new findings are just further evidence that this hazardous weed killer is ending up in almost everything that we eat and drink. How much weed killer are we each eating every day?
Breaking new tests conducted by the consumer interest group U.S. PIRG finds that many popular beer and wine brands are contaminated with – glyphosate (the main ingredient in Roundup).

Also not a beer drinker but definitely have used Guinness Stout in a couple of different stews and it really does add a rich flavor. I’ve also made a Guinness chocolate cake. Not too sweet but very rich.
Peach
Glad Amstel isn’t in that list.
Unless I am reading this incorrectly, the visuals include a ppb which means part per billion.
You'll find glyphosate residual in all grain products now. Cereal, bread, flour, etc.
LOL!
It would have been good for them to post levels in their tap water, milk, distilled water. Anything.
If you have sufficient analytical power you can find anything everywhere.
It’s good that consumers are being warned about possible health problems with glyphosate.
And a problem with glyphosate discussion is that you’re going to find science-flunky lawyers that will follow the money to argue either side of the glyphosate issue.
We’ve established that later on down the thread, but thanks for playing.
Feces, bugs and RoundUp are probably on/in most things we buy.
With some of those brands, it probably improves the flavor.
Now, back to drinking more beer....
The key piece of info is that Monsanto was incorrect or lied when it claimed Round up broke down in the soil in two weeks and was not absorbed into plants.
It does enter the food supply (present in cereals) and now, beer supply.
So many beers, so little time. Choose wisely.
There was arsenic found in low cost red wine some years ago.
The BP meds I’ve taken for years was recently taken off the market because of a trace level of some carcinogen
According to my Dr., you get more than a years worth of the same chemical in a single hamburger.
It’s in every piece of meat we eat.
thank you California
Clap. Now.
When you see scare stories like this what you should ask is whether the chemical is harmful to humans at the concentration detected.
Well I’ll quit Stella and start buying Pilsner Urquell or perhaps Warsteiner
If you drink a glass of the 43% stuff - commercial grade undiluted right out of the barrel - you’ll get a tummy ache ...
Sounds good. Got a recipe?
