Several popular breakfast foods, including Cheerios and Nature Valley products, continue to test positive for trace amounts of a controversial herbicide that may increase the risk of cancer, a report says

The Environmental Working Group, which has links to the organics industry, found that all 21 of the products it tested had levels of glyphosate that were"higher than what EWG scientists consider protective for children's health."Manufacturers maintain that their foods are safe, and the findings aren't unprecedented: The group also found in October that most of the breakfast cereals it tested contained glyphosate, the main ingredient in the weed killer Roundup.

"The Environmental Working Group, however, uses a far more conservative health benchmark that includes an added buffer for children, as"exposure during early life can have more significant effects on development later in life," said Dr. Alexis Temkin, an EWG scientist who co-authored both reports and spoke to CNN last year.Manufacturers dispute that threshold.

CNN where is the reporting on this..... trace amounts....... it may..... sad

Good 🙂😔! Nothing to say.

Everyone buy something else different and be careful what you eat. Quick foods and quick breakfast foods are not the way to go. stop using the microwave for a while don't forget you heating your foods up with radiation. Eat healthy you'll live longer.

Time for me to eat more cereal.

🍒🍓

Enjoy ..... but more important WAKE UP !!! Those dangerous stuff is in SO much more groceries. It’s more important for you your food is colorfull, sweet and lasts long? Sorry, I disturbed your sleep than. Have a diet beverage and sleep well. 🙄

Stop buying cereal.

but they still don't know whether it causes cancer, hence the word 'may'

I don’t care. It adds flavor and a healthy dose of risk my fat, complacent existence needs. 🙄

CNN FakeNews propaganda lying EnemyOfThePeople

We need to stop poisoning our food. Other countries don’t poison their food. Where are the regulators. Oh. Wait. Trump is allowing more poisons in the air and water. He doesn’t care that you feed it to your kids.

Don't worry America. You don't need regulation. Corporations *care* about you.

My family stopped eating that genetically modified garbage over 19 yrs. ago when I first heard how they grew the Ingredients & chemicals they used on them. Thank GOD. MAGA BuildTheWall

Instead of positive trump feed you choose this...? You deserve ur crap ratings

This is why many USA food products are banned in the EU - YOUR STANDARDS ARE TOO LOW

Great, just great.

That's why they need Vechain.

Fear-mongering click bait, absolutely disproportionate coverage vs. risk. Thanks, . Hey people that eat food- do you eat hotdogs? Pepperoni pizza? Anything with added sugar? All of those are putting at measurable risk, unlike Cheerios. This is some real pandering journalism.

You would think the article would list out all the conterminated cereals under a duty of care to keep us all informed and safe but no capitalism shields big corporations at the expense of consumer's lives.

May, trace. Alarmist Fakenews

So what ARE the 21 cereals testing positive Grrrr... hate articles/stories like this!!!

Why single out General Mills in this article when this applies to virtually all cereal companies?

I don’t want any weed in my perfectly non-THC cereal... thanks cereal brands!!!!

What food is totally safe? I will wait. Definitely not justifying it. But, everything we eat, is garbage.

Man who shot, killed two alleged attempted burglars in Deerfield is out of jail

...oh no

Which product exactly we should run away from ?

GeneralMills any comment yet? Your stock has taken a nose dive and you’re looking for a new AOR for advertising. Hope it includes PR. Change your standards for farmers you work with and get ahead of this.

I only eat Lucky Charms bc no way that leprechaun would steer me wrong and the marshmallows are gluten free.

Cereals contaminated with weed killer - herbicide - and kids are eating this?¿?

It’s called GLYPHOSATE, the main ingredient in Monsanto’s RoundUp weed killer that families spray on their lawns and have their kids roll around in it. How sick is that?!

Fuck, I just bought a jumbo box of Cheerios

It probably is only know to the state of California to cause cancer. I don't want cancer is why I don't go to California!

Go Paleo Biatches!

They just arnt getting it. Whole generation will not buy their stuff

“STILL”

liverpoolsqueen Depends on how good your country's food standards are.

'trace amounts'

Please send sample boxes to the White House.

Aka the FDA is almost worthless.

declaring LGBTQ seems to be an awful powerful group against what, ,,,,, the heteros? all heteros? just heteros that hate on LGBTQ? dang it looks like you slugged strangers in their face without wanting to know them

why the lgbtq flag has to be all colors without including the hetero community? do the heteros not deserve colors? i call whack whack whack whack, let everyone share the rainbow, get yer crew a new flag, you dont own all color combos

I don’t personally eat cereal but I care about my fellow cereal eaters

It seems everything people eat has risk of cancer. Scientists must also tell people if they don't eat there is risk of dying.

I hope Trump and supporters eat it every day!!! 🙏🏽🇺🇸

Good job I dong eat breakfast 🍳

Great! Can someone send me 10 boxes for the shrieking little shits that wake me up most days.

i prefer killer weed but weed killer feels good too

Thinning the herd

You know U.S. grains are saturated with chemicals that can never be completely washed out of the final food products it is contained in. Mono-culture farming demands more & more chemicals to keep the yields up because the soil becomes too degraded over time

The Question is: Who is poisoning our Food before it reaches the Stores

What the heck?!

The more you know

Death export is growing The modernized form of palm oil-napalm is a chemical weapon of mass destruction.

I stopped reading as soon as I saw EWG...

Smh

...and the air contains trace amounts of lead, which AT THE APPROPRIATE DOSE has been shown to cause kidney disease. These are scientists looking for something...anything...to publish. And the fault lies just as much with the media for publishing this crap.
