Popular Beer and Wine Brands Contaminated With Monsanto's Weedkiller |
2018-03-30 |
![]() Heavenly sunlight being provided through a crack in the cloud cover. Nothing more. Moms Across America released test results of 12 California wines that were all found to be positive for glyphosate in 2016. We tested further and released new findings last week of glyphosate in all of the most popular brands of wines in the world, the majority of which are from the U.S. and in batch test results in American beer. What do these events all have in common? Monsanto's Roundup. French molecular biologist Gilles-Éric Séralini released shocking findings in January of 2018 that of all the Roundup products they tested, over a dozen had high levels of arsenic—over five times the allowable limit along with dangerous levels of heavy metals. Roundup is commonly sprayed in vineyards to keep the rows looking tidy and free of so-called weeds and on grain crops (used in beer) as a drying agent just before harvest. Glyphosate herbicides do not dry, wash or cook off and they have been proven to be neurotoxic, carcinogenic, endocrine disruptors and a cause of liver disease at very low levels. The wine brands tested included Gallo, Beringer, Mondavi, Barefoot and Sutter Home. Beer brands tested included Budweiser, Busch, Coors, Michelob, Miller Lite, Sam Adams, Samuel Smith, Peak Organic and Sierra Nevada. Some of the test results were at first confusing. One would expect the organic wines and beers, and the carefully crafted independent beer brands to be free of glyphosate, as the herbicides are not allowed or used in organic farming. Instead, it appears that they are contaminated. Previous testing did show that some organic wines were contaminated, and in this round, one of the organic brands was as low as 0.38 ppb, but conventional wines had glyphosate residues 61 times higher, at 23.30 ppb. Studies have shown only 1 part per trillion to stimulate the growth of breast cancer cells, so any amount is concerning. |

#16 I looked it up, too. Whoa! We had that all over the place when I was a kid, and I didn't know what it was called. Nor that it was edible. I thought it was pretty (back when I could see the flowers close up without the aid of a microscope). Back in those days, we didn't have the magic of the internet to tell us what things were called, so I made up my own names for them. Can't remember what I called henbit. How it exactly ties in with Monsanto, Round Up, and beer, I dunno. Does it go good with beer? |

#15 I looked henbit up. Can’t say I am any the wiser. I looks pretty though. |

#13 Judging by the beers they tested I feel safe enough. |

#11 Ah, Monsanto was recently bought by the German chemical/medical giant Bayer so.. it's not a US problem anymore, rather an internal EU dispute. |

#10 Henbit is my problem. Perhaps I should increase the dosage Frank. |

#7 Science! Proven! Shut up you peasants! Science Has Spoken! "...proven to be neurotoxic, carcinogenic, endocrine disruptors and a cause of liver disease at very low levels." Danger: One look at the source of this 'article' may cause your eyes to fall out of your head due to excessive eye-rolling! Because Science! Reminds me of all the di-hydrogen monoxide warnings. No facts presented here, just panicky handwaving. But Moms Against America say so, so it must be so. Not that I want to drink Roundup, mind you. |

#6 I seriously doubt anyone has demonstrated any effects at the 1 part per trillion level. |
