I live in the countryside and I can't find any plot of farmland free of it (you can spot it easily when you find no weeds among grains or other crops).
After watching these 20 minutes, and understanding that LOWER AMOUNT does not mean SAFETY AT ALL, you'll be probably a new adept of organic foods.
I became afraid of taking any single croissant BITE since I started reading about glyphosate and this Monsanto research done many years ago.
they knew it all along!

Sure they did.

Recent developments on the glyphosate question: ban it or not?

It also wrecks the gut lining and leads to leaky gut. Go organic if you can.

You're right.
Since I saw this video about what Monsanto already knew, I'm terrified about getting even A BITE of anything that is not organic!!
I thought it was only wheat, pasta, all grains (oat, spelt, corn, rice), but in fact, even fruits are contaminated (as you can see, wine is contaminated).
Knowing that only TINY AMOUNTS can cause big harm to the immune system, hormones, even cancer in rats, well... a SINGLE BITE OF A CROISSANT is not innocent.
Imagine that all cows are eating their food FULL OF GLYPHOSATE so all milk products are contaminated, plus the meat.
And chicken are eating fully contaminated grains, so their meat and eggs are also contaminated.
I feel now guilty when I eat out, even in good restaurants...
I wonder if MOST of our gut problems (flora imbalance, absorption problems, celiac, leaky gut, food allergies etc) didn't start from glyphosate?
I'm sure they will find out that even organic is contaminated (even though organic farmers are not allowed to use glyphosate)...
Meanwhile, we are SURE most of non organic products, be it animal or veggie/ fruit are contaminated to practically 100%.

BAN WHILE YOU CAN!!!!!!!!

A discussion among MDs about leaky gut beinc CAUSED BY glyphosate (in the middle of the article).
---------------------- Dr. Bush:
Worldwide, 1 ½ billion pounds of Roundup being dumped into the soil.
If you start really reading soil science, it’s dismal. We don’t have healthy soil on the planet right now.
We are dumping 300 million pounds of glyphosate alone (in the US) – that’s the active ingredient in Roundup – into our soil in the United States every year.
Three hundred million pounds, that’s a pound for every man, woman, and child every year.
That’s twice as much as it was just six years ago.
As glyphosate went up since the late 1970s, all diseases have skyrocketed. Her big thing was it’s creating openings in the tight junctions.
(Brussels: openings in tight junctions = leaky gut, leaky brain, leaky kidneys, leaky cells all over the body)
It’s causing holes in the gut, disrupting bacteria that we need for this brain to work.
-----------------
If you guys have time, it is worth to read the whole interview.
You can watch the video, too.
It's no wonder we are all so ill.
If you read this, you'll understand at least one of the connections between the mitochondria, lack of voltage potential of cells, fatigue, leaky gut,
... leaky brain, cancer, chronic illness, toxin accumulation, lack of minerals, lack of hydration in cells, rapid aging of our cells, microbiome...

Disgusting beyond belief. How do these people sleep at night? Unfortunately, they sleep fine.

The best (and only) way to get back at these people is by you personally changing what you buy 100% and all the time. You're not the only one, and the increasing numbers of us are resulting in a larger and larger market of organic foods. Youve got to be vigilant though, no fudging on like just one day with a non organic fruit, etc.

Christopher took words out of my mouth.
Every DOLLAR we spend on their GMO corn is giving them a sign to use more Round Up, make more GMOs.
Every DOLLAR we spend on organic food, gives the industry a sign that we won't BUY THEIR SH...
I eat much less, spend much more time shopping for food, but I refuse to buy any GMO (that are full of glyphosate).
NOTHING with corn or soya that are NOT organic. I refuse to spend even 1 cent for that!!
I can't buy everything organic, just because there are some veggies and fruits that are not sold organic here.
But they make only 10% or LESS of what I buy.
I do buy 90% organic.
The price of organic has dropped TREMENDOUSLY here in Europe in the last 5 years.
My organic market is begging customers to convince farmers to go organic, because they need more products.
Buying a CROISSANT, one little piece of bread or pop corn when you go out to watch the movies = you are BEGGING Monsanto to make MORE glyphosate.
That is the UNFORTUNATE world we live in.
Every act of buying anything can be a political act that goes on OUR FAVOR, not on theirs!
It sends signs to the industry, positive signs or negative.
If you can afford, GO ORGANIC. It's really the only political sign that will TOUCH the industry where it aches more: in their POCKETS!!!
Because your dollar is NOT going to that disgusting business of poisoning the planet, ourselves, our children and the whole ecosystem just for profit of a few.
