lets talk about the preharvest application of glyphosate to wheat, how much glyphosate is in our food, and how it affects us.
I think we have all seen the recent spate of articles about the study linking glyphosate to liver disease in rats. Yes, worrisome, but we have seen scary study results before. But this study is uniquely scary in a few ways. This Daily Mail article brought them to my attention. Consider these worrisome quotes from the article: Dr Robin Mesnage, […]

The European Commission has decided to register a European Citizens Initiative (ECI) (aka a petition!) inviting the Commission “to propose to Member States a ban on glyphosate, to reform the pesticide approval procedure, and to set EU-wide mandatory reduction targets for pesticide use”. The initiative will be available January 25 to start a one-year process of collection of signatures in support […]

Consider signing Tony Mitra’s petition at change.org to pressure local governments to begin testing food for glyphosate. This is an excerpt from the petition summary: The governments, both in the US and Canada, we have unofficially learned, have started testing our food on the quiet, for levels of contamination by glyphosate. But for reasons best known to them, Government officials […]

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) is responsible for monitoring the Canadian food supply for chemical residues and contaminants, and determining compliance with maximum residue limits (MRLs) and maximum levels established by Health Canada. The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) runs the National Chemical Residue Monitoring Program. You can request the 2012-2013 and the 2013-2014 National Chemical Residue Monitoring Program report, […]

The writer informs us that people’s recent increase of health reactions to wheat products is not due to new wheat varieties, not GMOs, not a change in gluten levels, and not due to changes in the genetic makeup of wheat itself. So what is the cause of the increased incidences of obesity, diabetes, or other health conditions? “…Some have linked […]

Its not the “traditional” use of glyphosate that is increasing the residue left on our food. Its the application of glyphosate just before harvest on grains (like wheat, barley, and oats). This application is not to control weeds. This application is to kill the food crop so that it dries more quickly and evenly across the crop. Similar to the […]
