Should Roundup Herbicide Cause You To Stop Eating Packaged Foods?

Scientific studies and a recent legal case have reinforced the link between glyphosate and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, a rare and often deadly form of cancer and consumers are concerned

Tuesday, September 11, 2018 - Virtually every packaged food we eat that contains corn, corn syrup, wheat, soy or any number of staple ingredients contain trace amounts of glyphosate. Urine tests conducted on individuals including consumers during a recent scientific experiment showed increased levels of glyphosate. Those living in close proximity to farms that spray Roundup glyphosate herbicide showed even greater levels. People are asking the question "should I avoid feeding packaged breakfast cereals to my family and children?" The answers coming from the media are scary in their parallels to early denials when smoking cigarettes was first alleged to cause lung cancer.

In the 1970's smoking one cigarette, or one pack or even smoking cigarettes for a year or more was shown to cause minimal damage to one's health but taken over a lifetime of usage, tars and carcinogens build up in the lungs leading to cancer. A parallel can be drawn with glyphosate and packaged food products. Eating one bowl of cereal or even eating packaged foods for a month or year is likely to do nothing. No one really knows what ingesting glyphosate over the long term is likely to lead to. Smoking cigarettes over one's entire lifetime are considered carcinogenic even though only less than 10% of lifetime cigarette smokers wind up with lung cancer. If glyphosate is, in fact, carcinogenic the results could be a human health crisis the likes of which we have never seen. There are literally tens of thousands of times more eaters than there ever were smokers. If glyphosate causes cancer in only a small percentage of lifelong eaters of packaged goods, hundreds of millions of people could die.

To demonstrate just how ignorant people can be of the potential for death that glyphosate in could pose if proven carcinogenic a recent article published for the Fillmore County Journal can shed some light. The conclusion reached by the author indicated that the glyphosate-cancer linkage was overblown. So do scary news headlines work to sell articles and papers? Yes, this is why these statements jump out at you. Should you be worried (about) getting cancer from your morning bowl of Cheerios? According to the science, no, not unless your version of a bowl of cereal is a five-gallon bucket full of it." The author shows an extraordinary lack of understanding of how a chemical might bioaccumulate in the tissues of the body. When you consider that "acceptable" levels of glyphosate could be in your breakfast cereal, the bread, meat, and the mayonnaise, ketchup or mustard, you use to make your lunch sandwich, the potato chips you ate at lunch, the pasta and the sauce you have for dinner, an individual is, in fact, eating much, much, more than a bucketful over the course of one's life.
