Monsanto’s Cancer-Causing Chemical Glyphosate Found In Oat Bran Cereal Products From Quaker, Kellogg’s And General Mills

Some of America’s most popular breakfast foods come with a ‘hefty dose’ of  Monsanto’s weed-killing chemical Glyphosate, according to a report by the Environmental Working Group (EWG)

Monsanto is one of the most-evil corporations ever to appear in human history. They create products that are unbelievably destructive to the human body, and do it all in the name of profit. Monsanto’s Roundup weed-killer contains a killer chemical called glyphosate, and when ingested in large amounts causes cancer. Recent tests show it is in the breakfast cereal you are likely feeding to your family right now.

Interestingly, glyphosate was not found in any of the organic cereals tested.

FROM NBC NEWS MAINE: The non-profit published the results Wednesday morning from independent lab tests it commissioned on dozens of products made with oats. The tests found traces of glyphosate, the active chemical ingredient in Monsanto’s Roundup weed killer, in all but two of the 45 products it tested that were made with conventionally grown oats.

Additionally the EWG said 31 of the 45 samples it tested had glyphosate levels higher than what its scientists consider “protective of children’s health.” Some of those products included Back to Nature Classic Granola, Nature Valley Granola Protein Oats ‘n Honey, Quaker Dinosaur Egg Instant Oats, Great Value Original Instant Oatmeal, Cheerios Toasted Whole Grain Oat Cereal, Lucky Charms, Quaker Steel Cut Oats and Kellogg’s Nutrigrain Strawberry Breakfast Bars.

However, the levels that EWG considers to be high doesn’t violate the legal limit set by the Environmental Protection Agency.

“I grew up eating Cheerios and Quaker Oats long before they were tainted with glyphosate,” said EWG President Ken Cook. “No one wants to eat a weed killer for breakfast, and no one should have to do so.

Cook added that they plan to petition the EPA to end uses of glyphosate that resulted in the contamination results the testing uncovered.

In a statement provided to CBS News, Monsanto pushed back against the study’s results saying that “even at the highest level reported… an adult would have to eat 118 pounds of the food item every day for the rest of their life in order to reach the EPA’s limit” for glyphosate residues.” To read Monsanto’s full statement, click here.

Monsanto weed-killing chemical found glyphosate in cereals, oat products

Lab results found glyphosate, the active chemical ingredient in Monsanto’s Roundup weed killer, in all but two of the 45 conventionally grown oat products that were tested.

But last week a jury in California ordered Monsanto to pay $289 million to a former school groundskeeper who said Roundup caused his cancer.

The France-based International Agency for Research on Cancer, which is part of the World Health Organization, classified glyphosate as a “probable human carcinogen” in 2015. California has also added glyphosate to its list of chemicals known to cause cancer. The organic products tested proved to have little, if any, of the chemical in its oats.

No glyphosate was found in Nature’s Path Organic Honey Almond granola, Simple Truth Organic Instant Oatmeal, Kashi Heart to Heart Organic Honey Toasted cereal and Cascadian Farm Organic Harvest Berry granola bars. READ MORE
