The Poisoning of America’s Food Supply: 45 Out of 86 Products Contained Alarming Levels of Glyphosate

Pre-Harvest spraying Monsanto-Bayer Round-up®is leading to contamination of essential ‘healthy’ foods.

It is interesting to note that the little guy in small business seems to be a thing of the past when it comes to going to a food chain or grocery store (Leviticus 26:15-17).

What are your given options today? Target, HyVee, Walmart, Whole Foods, etc. and yet, this is where they are finding that America’s food supply is being poisoned!

Details of extent of glyphosate contamination

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.

Even the non-GMO label cannot reassure.

While none of these foods are genetically engineered, they still contain ingredients that are at a high risk of glyphosate contamination. There is no GMO wheat or chickpeas on the market in North America. For the past two decades, farmers in the U.S. and Canada have regularly sprayed Monsanto’s (now Bayer) Round-Up®on wheat, oats, barley and dry bean crops as a “pre-harvest drying agent” to get the harvested crop to market faster.

Editor’s Notes:

Round-Up® is a registered trademark of Monsanto-Bayer.

The correct spelling of the generic herbicide name is indeed glyphosate, as the article uses it. The IUPAC name is N-(phosphonomethyl)glycine.

The original submission gave a broken link; HealthNews.com does not have the article the author quoted. But VaccineImpact.com does.

In addition, the source material has this advice for anyone wondering whether the USDA Organic certification ensures the absence of glyphosate. Sadly, it does not.

My own company, Healthy Traditions, began testing all of the food we sell for the presence of glyphosate back in 2014, when we did our own testing and investigation and found that most of our certified organic grains that we were selling at the time were contaminated with glyphosate.

We were shocked to learn that the National Organic Program for USDA organic certification allows for smaller amounts of glyphosate to be present even in foods certified organic.

So we mostly abandoned the USDA Organic program, and started testing all of our food ourselves, practicing strict batch control so that we could trace each batch back to the producer.

We now do our own testing for glyphosate, and also for GMOs, as many foods advertised as being free from GMOs also contain small amounts of GMO DNA, especially American corn.
