What If Gluten Intolerance Is Really Glyphosate Poisoning?

Grannygoodfoodblogspot.com – Gluten has been in wheat since it was first grown. Sure, there have always been folks who have problems digesting wheat or grains with gluten. Today, about 50% of the world have problems with gluten. (1) Something has changed.

glyphosateThat “something” is glyphosate.

Glyphosate has only been on this planet since Monsanto patented it as “Roundup” in 1973. This chemical herbicide goes by 32 or more trade names and, now that the patent protection expired in 2000, is made by nine chemical companies — most of whom, not coincidentally, are also in the drug business.

Over 200 million pounds of it is used all over the world every year. That’s 100,000 tons! Roundup brings in half of Monsanto’s yearly profits. Like vaccines, each manufacturer can add its own extra ingredients called adjuvants or surfactants. Some data suggests that the adjuvants are even more toxic than the glyphosate.

Popular American Foods Contaminated with Monsanto’s Glyphosate Weedkiller

GlyphosateCarolanne Wright – Classified as “probably carcinogenic” by the World Health Organization, glyphosate — the main ingredient in Monsanto’s Roundup and the world’s most widely used herbicide — has been found in a variety of best-selling American foods at disturbing levels, says a new report by Food Democracy Now! and The Detox Project.

Anresco Laboratories, an ISO 17025 accredited and FDA-registered facility in San Francisco, was commissioned to test for glyphosate in a large range of foods. Founded in 1943 by Dr. Sylvan Eisenberg, Anresco is the forerunner in providing food safety analyses for pesticides, microbiology and nutritional labeling.

Using liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) — considered the “gold standard” of testing methods — the lab detected alarming levels of glyphosate in General Mills’ Cheerios and Honey Nut Cheerios, Kellogg’s Corn Flakes, Raisin Bran and Frosted Flakes, and PepsiCo’s Doritos Cool Ranch, Nabisco’s Ritz Crackers and Stacy’s Simply Naked Pita Chips, along with many other popular food products.

You can read the full report, entitled “Glyphosate: Food Testing Results and Scientific Reasons for Concern”, here.

The results of the independent testing are disturbing, especially considering the weedkiller is linked with a variety of serious health disorders, including cancer, endocrine (or hormone) disruption, birth defects, Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s, multiple sclerosis, ADHD, obesity, diabetes, lowered immune function, celiac disease and irritable bowel syndrome. Children are particularly at risk.

Washington State Launches Lawsuit Against Mon(ster)santo

gmosJoseph P Farrell –  This article was shared by Mr. S.C., and I want to pass it along here, along with my usual high octane speculation, which, in this case, is really high octane speculation:

Washington State Launches Historic Lawsuit Against Monsanto Over PCBs

Regular readers of this website know that I am not exactly a friend to GMOs, nor, for that matter, to vaccines. And, for the record, I am not in principle opposed to either, i.e., I am not opposed to the concept of vaccines nor to that of GMOs. After all, Jenner’s small pox vaccine worked very well, and so did the Sabin polio vaccine. But as I’ve pointed out, there were problems with the Salk vaccine, and there are certainly problems that studies have shown linking vaccine cocktails to autism, and linking GMOs to cancers and other health risks.

My chief opposition all along to these technologies has not been to the technology itself, but rather against the shoddy bought-and-paid-for corporate “science” assuring us that there is nothing wrong with the technologies as they stand. Additionally, my opposition has also been against the corporate strong-arming of farmers, and to dissenting opinion as they seek to control the scientific narrative, and therefore the public discussion, of these technologies and their blowback effects.

Most Vaccines Confirmed Tainted with Glyphosate — Monsanto’s Roundup

Catherine J. Frompovich – Research scientist Anthony Samsel has confirmed that glyphosate, a key active chemical in Monsanto’s herbicide Roundup®, has been found in most vaccines! In this video, we hear Dr Samsel reciting his findings.

Additionally, Dr Samsel sent a letter to his Congressional Senator from New Hampshire wherein he gives Senator Shaheen permission to share his laboratory data on glyphosate-contaminated vaccines with “all members of Congress and the public.”

What will Senator Shaheen do?

glyphosateWill she have the presence of conscience to do what U.S. Congressman Bill Posey of Florida did when, in July of 2015, he went before Congress to ask for a congressional investigation into the science, fraud and collusion regarding the MMR vaccine—Autism connection found in African-American boys under three years of age, as exposed in 2014 by CDC epidemiologist William Thompson, PhD, one of the co-authors of the CDC report which eliminated that pertinent data and documentation from the CDC’s published information?

Testing Reveals Post Shredded Wheat Cereal Contains Monsanto’s Glyphosate

wheatFinland, Minn. –  The Organic Consumers Association (OCA) today filed suit against Post Holdings, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary, Post Foods, LLC, for falsely claiming one of its brands, Shredded Wheat, is “natural” even though it tests positive for the herbicide glyphosate.

The suit, filed on behalf of the general public of Washington, D.C., claims Post is violating the District of Columbia Consumer Protection Procedures Act (“DC CPPA”), D.C. Code § 28-3901, et seq. Similar actions were filed in federal court in California and New York.

“On the back of its cereal box, Post says Shredded Wheat is made of ‘100% Whole Grain Wheat’ and that the product is ‘made with nothing but goodness,’” said OCA’s international director, Ronnie Cummins. “But tests prove Shredded Wheat contains glyphosate, the active ingredient in Monsanto’s Roundup. Glyphosate is not only very unnatural, it is a known toxin,linked to a long list of potential and serious health problems.”

Kim Richman of The Richman Law Group, which represents OCA in the suit, noted that “Consumers don’t expect a product labeled ‘natural’ to contain a chemical that has been classified by the World Health Organization as a ‘probable’ human carcinogen. Post advertises Shredded Wheat as ‘100 Percent Natural,’ and glyphosate in any amount is not natural,” Richman said.
