FDA finds glyphosate weedkiller residues in nearly all grocery foods, but has spent years hiding test results from the public
Big Brother is looking out for you...NOT!
The KEY point here is all this exposure is Cumulative!..meaning if you start out eating one food with 6.5ppm (1.5ppm over allowable limits-wonder who figured that one out) and the other 2 foods have it too! you have tripled your exposure. Now, times that 3 times a day...365.?? days a year. It would seem, we could now plant YOU in the fields and no self respecting weed would go near you!
"The FDA insists that though it has discovered glyphosate residues on so many of the foods tested, these levels are low and are therefore not cause for concern. As such, they feel it is not in the public’s best interest to make their findings known."
"Tracey Woodruff, a professor at the University of California San Francisco’s School of Medicine, disagrees."
"“People care about what contaminants are in their food. If there is scientific information about these residues in the food, the FDA should release it,” she told The Guardian. “It helps people make informed decisions. Taxpayers paid for the government to do this work, they should get to see the information.”"
"Linda Birnbaum, toxicologist and director of the U.S. National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), warns that even low-level exposure to glyphosate can be very dangerous because we are exposed to many different sources of this chemical and its effects are cumulative."
"Many natural health advocates have spoken out about the FDA’s cover-up of its test findings and the fact that it took 40 years for them to start testing for glyphosate residue in the first place. (Related: Discover where glyphosate might be lurking at Glyphosate.news.)"
"These types of findings reinforce the need for us all to take responsibility for our own health and limit our exposure to glyphosate by purchasing or growing our own organic, pesticide-free fresh produce.""

No TV here. No commercials in DVDs (except those who pay for product placements;^)
When I during 1982 went to work at a brand new prison still partly under construction at Bessemer address (actually way out in the boonies for PR reasons), all but one of those steel mills were dead as door nails.
Most of my co-workers were laid-off steel workers.

Not that I'd care to move back to Bessemer.
Once I got behind the car of someone who had to be a member of the city council, for the bumper sticker stated, "Beautiful Downtown Bessemer."
I was roaring with laughter, since that made as much sense as saying, "Beautiful Face Of The Evil Hag."
Downtown Bessemer is ugly as sin.
Create electricity for distribution.
Competition is a thing of the past.
At one time there was over 10,000 power co.s
Ours is now in $$$! and due to up again!!!
So much for deregulation...
The power companies are pissed cause they are not allowed to create electricity...they just get paid to deliver it. (which cost more than to make it)
I offered to get it myself and bring it home in my truck but they said NO!
Electricity is penny cheap from NSP to you.
This is a copulation a slight pause between each
each short ad.

You'd be surprised how many people don't get that one. I guess everyone do not pay attention to ridiculous commercials or have a sense of humor.
I could be that sugar beets have a fiber that hangs on to they roundup which passes digestion on it's way out like Apples hold on to arsenic in the fiber and doesn't get digested unless you drink filtered apple juice. In that case the arsenic holding fibers were filtered out.
But let's say that the roundup is minute in the fruit and veggies...it is still cumulative over the long hall and the body can't get rid of it on it's own; just like chlorine...absorbed through the skin...it stays, drink water with a bit of chlorine and it just passes through the body un-absorbed.
Wish those two Sonic guys would self-destruct.
I'm not tired of Flo of Progressive and those EET MO CHIKEN cows can keep on a-coming.
EVER be drained!!
A slim and trim couple enters a restaurant and orders Special K cereal if that's to be believed.
Nearby a fat woman seated all alone at another table cries out "Oh, waffles!" and digs in just as the waiter also serves her breakfast.
The slim and trim couple looks upon the fat woman with utter disdain and continue to eat their Special K.
I've never been able to find this on YouTube either.
I used to work for a sugar beet transportation company. A few years back (probably ten now), California sued the entire industry because the vast majority of farmers use "Round-up Ready" beet seed. This dramatically improves yields and makes even novice farmers more productive than they would have been. They apply it once a few weeks after planting (usually in late March or early April) and then once more in June to keep the weeds down, ensuring that water gets to the beets rather than the weeds. Harvest begins late August or early September depending on when temperatures start cooling (beets spoil in the heat). Beet processing starts at harvest and typically goes through April and sometimes into May depending on crop size and plant capacity. (For an aerial of a sample plant and piles, see this: http://michiganradio.org/post/michiga...
Anyway, California sued claiming the very same thing: that there was residue in the product that was ending up on consumers tables. Long story short, they found zero evidence - even after substantial testing - to back up their claims. California beet growers decided that they would use "natural" seed because they were tired of pressure from enviro groups still pushing fake claims, but the vast majority of growers in other states use Round-up Ready seed - and have for decades - while producing a product that is 100% safe for human consumption.
Am I defending the use of glyphosates en masse? Not necessarily. All I'm doing is saying show me the data. Yes, plants take in chemicals and nutrients from the air and soil, but they also metabolize and excrete chemicals just like any other living being. The general rule of thumb I have heard is 60 days, but I'm open to some hard research on the matter.
