evidence: The EWG published a report on August 15th, 2018, that sent health food consumers into something of a spin. And quite rightly! This report revealed that glyphosate was present in 43 of 45 samples of products made with conventionally grown oats. Indeed, almost 75 percent of the samples had glyphosate levels higher than 160 parts per billion, the daily level of exposure which EWG scientists consider protective of children’s health. Shockingly, around a third of the 16 samples of products made with organically grown oats also had glyphosate, although these levels were well below EWG’s health benchmark. [...] C J, great question! Glyphosate will kill oats and wheat and corn, it kills plants. Genetically Modified (GMO) wheat and oats and corn (and other crops) were genetically modified SO IT can withstand glyphosate — so GMO and glyphosate goes hand in hand. That’s the part where the crops are growing. The other part is that around harvest time, glyphosate is sprayed on grains (wheat, oats, corn, etc.) as a desiccant — so the grains dry faster and be ready for merchandise. So with GMO and non-organic wheat, oats, corn (and soya is the other big one!), you get a double whopping of glyphosate. Dr. Zach Bush speaks about glyphosate in many of his talks posted on media, and one of the most clarifying one is his interview with John Kempf at the "Regenerative Agriculture" podcast.
