evidence: Glyphosate is minimally toxic to humans if they are exposed to trace amounts in food. It's considered safe as long as its levels in food do not go beyond the EPA's set tolerance levels. However, a person may experience nausea and vomiting if a person consumes a large amount of glyphosate. Should You Buy Glyphosate-Free Oats? The choice is up to you if you want to buy glyphosate-free oats. However, if you want to enjoy the benefits of eating oatmeal or other oat products but you're concerned about pesticide levels, choose organic oats, contributing nutrition editor Cynthia Sass, RD, told Health. Eating organic can help you lower your exposure to even trace amounts of pesticides, said Sass, particularly for foods you eat daily. One study tested non-organic and organic oat products and found that the organic products tested did contain traces of glyphosate. Still, compared to the non-organic products, the organic products had the lowest glyphosate levels. Where to Find Glyphosate-Free Oats You may be able to purchase organic, glyphosate-free oats online; just be sure to do your research beforehand. Also, some organic foods are pricier than conventionally grown ones, but there are still many options.
