This list of glyphosate laden foods is troubling too, as some seem to be health foods! Organic please!!

Are You Snacking on Cancer-Causing Weed Killer? Here Are the Foods You Need to Avoid

After paying $289 Million in damages to a man who developed cancer from using its bestselling weed killer Roundup, Monsanto (now owned by Bayer) would have been wise to rethink the safety of the product’s active ingredient, glyphosate.

“WASHINGTON – A second round of tests commissioned by the Environmental Working Group found the active ingredient in Monsanto’s Roundup weed killer in every sample of popular oat-based cereal and other oat-based food marketed to children. These test results fly in the face of claims by two companies, Quaker and General Mills, which have said there is no reason for concern. This is because, they say, their products meet the legal standards.

Yet almost all of the samples tested by EWG had residues of glyphosate at levels higher than what EWG scientists consider protective of children’s health with an adequate margin of safety. The EWG findings of a chemical identified as probably carcinogenic by the World Health Organization come on the heels of a major study published in JAMA Internal Medicine that found a significant reduction in cancer risk for individuals who ate a lot of organic food.

The tests detected glyphosate in all 28 samples of products made with conventionally grown oats. All but two of the 28 samples had levels of glyphosate above EWG’s health benchmark of 160 parts per billion, or ppb.

Products tested by Anresco Laboratories in San Francisco included 10 samples of different types of General Mills’ Cheerios and 18 samples of different Quaker brand products from PepsiCo, including instant oatmeal, breakfast cereal and snack bars. The highest level of glyphosate found by the lab was 2,837 ppb in Quaker Oatmeal Squares breakfast cereal, nearly 18 times higher than EWG’s children’s health benchmark.“

“Toxic pesticides are found in higher concentrations in the urine and fat of slaughtered animals than in their livers, since the livers are detoxifying the chemicals and causing them to be excreted. Presumably, the animals' livers will perform the same detoxification reactions with the phytotoxicants that occur naturally in their diet.“ -Ray Peat

how about wild bluebberies?

What about them?

@Rinse & rePeat

read this on the website:

Wild Blueberries are not planted by farmers. They have been naturally grown in abundance in Maine and Eastern Canada and have so for thousands of years. Wild Blueberries are smaller and rounder than cultivated blueberries. But don't let that size fool you, they pack a powerful punch of flavor and nutrition.

I have bought them frozen, but didn’t like the bigger seeds in them.

I emailed the website if its organic and i appreciate the reply.

From wymans

Wild blueberries are a unique crop distinct from regular blueberries in that they are a distinctive species that is not planted or tilled, but rather occurs in a natural ecosystem. Because wild blueberries occur in a natural ecosystem, with naturally occurring checks and balances, the need to apply pesticides is significantly reduced when compared to regular blueberries.

At Wyman's we have a dedicated and continuous effort to minimizing the pesticides we do use, and we also utilize organic pesticides as much as is feasible. Furthermore, we are committed to testing fully organic growing and have dedicated acreage for this purpose. We pride ourselves on being industry leaders in sustainability, including being one of the first commercial farms in the world to subscribe to the philosophy of Integrated Pest & Pollinator Management (IPPM). IPPM is a science based decision making process that utilizes a holistic approach to protect crops in a way that minimizes human and pollinator health risks, while also reducing economic and environmental risks.

It should also be noted that we ensure the safety of our frozen wild blueberries with state of the art processing facilities and a relentless quality assurance program. All of our wild blueberries are thoroughly triple washed prior to freezing to remove surface residues making our frozen wild blueberries much safer than regular fresh blueberries. Additionally, we conduct state-of-the-art third party testing to assess pesticide residues and to ensure food safety. I'm pleased to inform you that the test results indicate that we are consistently well below FDA tolerances and in the vast majority of cases no residues are detected at all.

So, while we do not share detailed farming practices for competitive reasons, hopefully the above gives you a sense of the degree of our commitment at Wyman's.

Thanks again for reaching out. If I can be of further assistance, please let me know.

“The use of extremely toxic pesticides has affected both the crops and the sensitivity of the human population to allergens. Sensitivities induced originally by toxic pesticides used on certain crops can probably persist after the industrial chemical has been eliminated, because the immune system is susceptible to “conditioning.” -Ray Peat

“While these are all commonly held beliefs about organically grown produce, how many of them are actually true, and how many are what researchers call “a health halo”? Surprisingly, research shows that organic produce only guarantees one of those benefits: reduced pesticide exposure. Organic certification by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) involves a lengthy list of requirements about growing conditions, and pesticides are strictly regulated, so any produce that bears the official certification logo meets those criteria. But there isn’t currently enough evidence to say exactly what impact pesticide exposure in produce has on a variety of health conditions, or overall health for that matter.

“High consumption of organic foods has been associated with reduced risks of obesity, type 2 diabetes, and cancer, particularly postmenopausal breast cancer and lymphoma,” says Julia Baudry, PhD, an epidemiologist who studies these associations at the Center of Research in Epidemiology and Statistics Sorbonne Paris Cité in France. While that sounds promising, Baudry cautions that additional research is still needed.”

Is Organic Produce Healthier Than the Conventional Kind?

Spending on organic produce is on the rise, but are organically grown fruits and vegetables really healthier than their conventionally grown counterparts? The research is mixed.

What brand of coffee is good for organic? I just went to my refrigerator and threw out the strawberries. I would normally wash them in a solution of baking soda and water but after reading this, no way. I'm done with non-organic fruit of any kind.

Another problem with pesticides is that they kill off the microbes in the soil that break down minerals for the plants to absorb.

It was thought for a long time that the soils were depleted of minerals, but it is more likely that the pesticides are the problem.

I have never heard that. Do you have some me links you can post heat on what you said? I am looking stuff it up myself and first found this.

“Systemic insecticides move throughout the plant. When insects feed on the plant, the insecticide can kill them. This type of insecticide can be harmful to bees and other pollinators. When the bee is pollinating the plant, it may also receive a toxic dose of the pesticide. It is important to read the label and use this type of product only when it will not pose a threat to the pollinators.“

“A California judge has ordered a halt to a state-run program of spraying pesticides on public lands and some private property, saying officials failed to assess the potential health effects as required.

Superior Court Judge James Arguelles ordered the Department of Food and Agriculture to suspend all spraying under the Statewide Plant Pest Prevention and Management Program within two months, the San Francisco Chronicle reported Tuesday.

The ruling follows a state appeals court’s decision in October that found the program violated the California Environmental Quality Act by failing to conduct site-specific environmental reviews and notify the public before sprays. The lower court also found the program didn’t appropriately consider contamination to water bodies or mitigate harm on bees and that the department understated existing pesticide use.

More than 75 pesticides have been used in the program, according to environmental and health organizations that sued the state along with the city of Berkeley.“

“How should a regulatory agency announce they have discovered something potentially very important about the safety of products they have been approving for over twenty years?

In the course of analysis to identify potential allergens in GMO crops, the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) has belatedly discovered that the most common genetic regulatory sequence in commercial GMOs also encodes a significant fragment of a viral gene (Podevin and du Jardin, 2012). This finding has serious ramifications for crop biotechnology and its regulation, but possibly even greater ones for consumers and farmers. This is because there are clear indications that this viral gene (called Gene VI) might not be safe for human consumption. It also may disturb the normal functioning of crops, including their natural pest resistance.

Podevin and du Jardin discovered is that of the 86 different transgenic events (unique insertions of foreign DNA) commercialized to-date in the United States 54 contain portions of Gene VI within them. They include any with a widely used gene regulatory sequence called the CaMV 35S promoter (from the cauliflower mosaic virus; CaMV). Among the affected transgenic events are some of the most widely grown GMOs, including Roundup Ready soybeans (40-3-2) and MON810 maize. They include the controversial NK603 maize recently reported as causing tumors in rats (Seralini et al., 2012).“

“Insecticide exposure has been suspected to be a factor in the increased incidence of Alzheimer's disease (Zaganas, et al., 2013), but it could be contributing to many other problems, involving inflammation, edema, and degeneration. Another important source of organophosphate poisoning is the air used to pressurize airliners, which can be contaminated with organophosphate fumes coming from the engine used to compress it.” -Ray Peat
