Toxic Weed Killer Glyphosate Found in Most Foods Sold in the U.S.

While both the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) measure pesticide residues in foods, neither include the agricultural chemical glyphosate (RoundUp) in their official testing. Despite this, internal FDA emails reveal significant amounts of the chemical has been found in virtually all foods tested — a toxic reality confirmed by independent scientific testing.
Earlier this year, researchers from University of California San Diego School of Medicine reported there’s been a dramatic increase in glyphosate exposure in recent decades and, subsequently, the level found in people’s bodies.1 As one would expect, the introduction of so-called “Roundup Ready” genetically engineered (GE) crops led to a massive increase in the use of Roundup, the active ingredient of which is glyphosate.
Glyphosate has also become a popular tool for desiccating non-GE grains, legumes and beans, which has further spurred the use of the chemical. Between 1974 — the year glyphosate entered the U.S. market — and 2014, glyphosate use in the U.S. increased more than 250fold.2,3 Globally, glyphosate use has risen nearly fifteenfold since 1996, two years after the first GE crops hit the market.
