GLYPHOSATE
Disturbing Levels of Chemicals and Gluten Found in Gluten-Free Foods
By Kimberly Drake, Health News:
“Moms Across America speculated that gluten-free foods might not be as clean as people think after supporters reported experiencing ongoing health issues even after following a GF diet.
To investigate this further, the organization tested 46 samples of organic and non-organic gluten-free foods for herbicides, 236 pesticides, gluten, and minerals. The tests were conducted by Health Research Institute Laboratories.
The gluten-free product with the highest glyphosate level was Banza Chickpea pasta. Mothers Across America says testing showed the product contained the herbicide at 2,963 ppb — “the highest amount of glyphosate in human food the lab has recorded.”
However, two products — Lesser Evil Popcorn and Edward and Sons Rice Crackers — had no detectable levels of the herbicide.
According to Moms Across America, the five products with the highest glyphosate levels were:
* Banza Cavatappi pasta
* Bob’s Red Mill gluten-free flour
* Flax4Life chocolate brownies
* Pamela’s Figgies and Jammies mission fig cookies
* Kind Kids Chewy Chocolate Chip bars”
