Contamination of U.S. Food Supply Worsens as 50% of Foods Tested Contained Cancer-Causing Glyphosate Herbicide

The Detox Project recently published their latest results from the most comprehensive glyphosate testing of food products ever conducted in the U.S., showing that the contamination of the U.S. food supply with the cancer-causing herbicide glyphosate is becoming significantly worse since their first report published 5 years ago.

In our first report nearly five years ago, we found alarming levels of glyphosate residues in 29 bestselling foods from major food companies in the continental United States, as increases in the spraying of more toxic pesticides was skyrocketing across rural America.

In this new report, we disclose the glyphosate residue testing results of 83 foods found in major Big Box, grocery and natural food stores purchased in Des Moines, Iowa, including Walmart, Whole Foods, Target, Natural Grocers, and Hy-Vee and foods bought online through Amazon.

Incredibly, more than half the foods tested, a total of 45 foods out of 86 products, contained alarming levels of glyphosate, ranging from 12 parts per billion (ppb) in “sprouted wholegrain bread”6 from Whole Foods to as high 889 ppb in Walmart’s brand chickpeas,7 to 1,040 ppb in Whole Food’s 365 Brand Whole Wheat Sandwich Bread, to the highest level detected of 1,150 ppb in Hy-Vee’s 100% Whole Wheat Bread.

When I was born , life expectancy was 62 years;  now it's 78....   and I'm old enough to start messing with that limit.

I've been eating all the fearful chemicals my entire life.

Toxic effects of Laundry Detergents



Is is worth noting that ingredients in toxic laundry P&G products are intentionally made to stick to fabrics, mostly to keep our clothes smelling “clean.” This means that as we wear our clothes and sweat, these chemicals break down and are being absorbed through our skin and via breathing in the fumes. So when we use these products we are being exposed to these chemicals essentially all the time, even when we sleep.
Tide itself publicly announced that their laundry products contain “highly concentrated 1,4-Dioxane toxic detergent.” Those are also the words of the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. Tide laundry detergent is toxic. 1,4-Dioxane is used as a solvent. Acute (short-term) inhalation exposure to high levels of 1,4-dioxane has caused vertigo, drowsiness, headache, anorexia, and irritation of the eyes, nose, throat, and lungs in humans. Damage to the liver and kidneys has been observed with long-term exposure. Tumors have been observed in orally exposed animals. EPA has classified 1,4-dioxane as a Group B2, human carcinogen.

I'm not a fan of glyphosate. The rest of my family seems to love it though.

Thank God I don't use tide. Gain on occasion which is also P & G. But both are too damned expensive.

So much of the food people eat is toxic.  Among other things, I wouldn't eat margarine if someone paid me.

Glyphosate is evil stuff. Extremely toxic and carcinogenic. Stay away from it.

Chuckling here....

No doubt, I consume some toxicity as most do; I won't eat margarine either !

I do get strange cravings for Velveeta.

Oops! Don't want to derail the thread topic....
