Ben & Jerry’s ice cream

It really shouldn’t come as a surprise anymore.  We might be harder pressed to identify foods that do not contain glyphosate anymore. The New York Times is reporting that the Organic Consumers Association has found glyphosate in 10 of 11 samples of Ben & Jerry’s ice cream.  Levels in the ice cream were found to be well below the EPA […]

No wheat products.  Weird choice not to test.  Might have gone a long way to helping people reacting to wheat products realize maybe its not the gluten! Quoting Tony: “There are 20 samples tested with Garbanzo – not one of them are […]
