Glyphosate poisoning of wheat crops has increased 400% in the last two decades

Many wheat crops are sprayed multiple times with toxic glyphosate right before harvest

If you're eating non-organic wheat, you're swallowing weed killer!

(NaturalNews) Now that the World Health Organization has publicly condemned glyphosate herbicide as "probably carcinogenic to humans," awareness of this insidious chemical's contamination of the human food supply is suddenly exploding among health-conscious consumers.Most people, however, have no awareness at all that. They think glyphosate is only used on genetically modified crops like corn and soybeans. But it turns out that glyphosate is routinely usedto speed up harvesting. (Monitor breaking news headlines on glyphosate in real time at Glyphosate.news , part of the new FETCH.news network.)The very chemical that was designed to kill weeds, in other words, is so toxic to plant life that commercial farmers are using it to accelerate the death of wheat crops, thereby reducing the delay between cutting the crop and delivering it to market.The upshot is that. This includes:• Commercial loaves of bread sold at the grocery store• Donuts, cakes and pastries• Pasta products (spaghetti, noodles, etc., that are made with wheat)• Hamburger and hotdog buns• Wheat-based breakfast cereals such as wheat flakes• Biscuits, scones and flat breadEssentially, much of the entire non-organic wheat-based food supply is now, a toxic chemical now widely recognized as being genotoxic (damaging to your DNA and potentially leading to cancer). To protect yourself from glyphosate, it is crucial that you only purchase and consumeWheat, by the way, contains gluten. It is my belief that many of the complaints people have been voicing against gluten are reallyand not directly caused by gluten itself. This issue needs serious further investigation, but a simple way to test this yourself is to switch toand see how those work for you.See the full presentation on glyphosate and wheat products in this PDF presentation document from the Soil Association."[N]ew figures analysed by the Soil Association were released at a scientific briefing in London showing Glyphosate use in UK farming has increased by 400% in the last 20 years and it's one of the three pesticides regularly found in routine testing of British bread - appearing in up to 30% of samples tested by the Defra committee on Pesticide Residues in Food (PRiF)," reports the Soil Association Because of how widely glyphosate now contaminates wheat products, the Soil Association is calling for a ban on its use as a pre-harvest weed killer. "The Soil Association is now calling for a UK ban on the use of Glyphosate sprayed on UK wheat as a pre-harvest weedkiller and its use to kill the crop to ripen it faster," says the association.Wheat crops are sprayed with glyphosate not just once, but often three times before harvest. This douses the wheat with a known cancer-causing chemical, saturating the crop and causing the glyphosate to be present in the finished food products made from the wheat.Peter Melchett, Soil Association policy director, explained: "If Glyphosate ends up in bread it's impossible for people to avoid it, unless they are eating organic... This is why the Soil Association is calling for the immediate ending of the use of Glyphosate sprays on wheat destined for use in bread."The glyphosate sprayed on wheat crops ends up in your food. When you eat glyphosate-sprayed wheat, you inevitably absorb this cancer-causing chemical into your own body. "[T]his chemical doesn't break down immediately, and can follow the grain into food manufacturing processes," explains the Soil Association . "Tests by the Defra committee on Pesticide Residues in Food (PRiF) have found that as much as 30% of UK bread contained this weedkiller. UK wheat will also be used for lots of other foods including biscuits."The bottom line? If you're eating products derived from wheat that isn't organic, you're probably eating cancer-causing weed killer. In the UK, a recent study found that 70% of the population had traces of glyphosate in their urine. In the United States, the corporate-sellout EPA has known for decades that glyphosate causes cancer , but they actively hid this data from the public.Because it's so widely used in conventional agriculture, glyphosate is found in 75% of air and rain samples . This means you'll even get glyphosate raining down on your own home garden! (Although the resulting concentration is thousands of times less than what you'd find in commercial crops that are directly sprayed with it.)If there was ever a reason to buy organic bread, this is it!That's why I'm now issuing aand urging all Natural News readers to immediately stop buying and consuming all non-organic wheat products.From this day forward,. Glyphosate is not allowed to be sprayed on certified organic crops, and although there is some cross-contamination due to wind drift, organic foods will consistently contain far less glyphosate than non-organic foods.Follow more real-time news headlines on glyphosate at the newly-launched site Glyphosate.news
