It may also be sued to kill weeds in the field. Now it is used to K___ us. Quoting: Ascension Now That's what shocked me the most. Their reasoning for spraying it. It kills the crop and dries it out, making it ready for harvest quicker. Unbelievable!!! |

And in the US just about every processed food has some form of wheat. SeaThingz |

It happens slowly so dumb sheep won’t believe it. In a few years almost 50% of all people will get cancer due to Round Up. It’s like a guarantee for cancer. But fools keep on eating it. Don’t take life so seriously. Nobody gets out alive. |

The practice of dessicating wheat prior to harvest is practically unknown in the US as the growing season is long enough that the wheat dries naturally. In Canada it seems to be a problem though. There would be no need to dessicate wheat AFTER harvest as it is not harvested until it is dry, You have been misinformed. The facts: Monsanto developed some genetically modified crops that resist the effects of Roundup. They did it so that the crops could be sprayed for weeds in the middle of the growing season, and the weeds would be killed but the crops would not. This would be a tremendous saving move for the big agribusiness operations in the Midwest with ties to the government agencies such as the Department of Agriculture. Before these genetically engineered "Roundup Ready" crops, the farm ground was sprayed for weeds just before or right following seeding. Then after harvest was over, the weeds were sprayed again. This resulted in what is called Roundup residue, or Roundup that persists in the soil. The only Roundup residue in food itself was Roundup taken into the plant from the soil through the roots. The Roundup Ready crops however, leave residue on the crop itself, and give greater percentages of residue in testing. There was some testing done here and there, also some in Europe and Canada. These countries, particularly Canada, found higher levels of residue than in the US, where wheat is not sprayed to kill and thus dessicate the wheat. This is a rare practice in the US because except in North Dakota, the longer growing season allows wheat to ripen naturally and it would be a big waste of money. Some agribusiness operations try to squeeze 2 crops out of a growing season and sometimes do kill the wheat this way. But this is not standard farming practice. Thus, in the US, spraying Roundup on wheat to dessicate it is not common practice. And drenching any crop with Roundup is just inflamatory language. Roundup is heavily diluted and sprayed in in a fine spray over the weeds. Even then, it is far too expensive to "drench" anything. Roundup Ready crops, which have yielded far greater concentrations of Roundup than wheat include: Soy (which is found in a large percentage of US foods) Corn (which is found as high fructose corn syrup in a large percentage of US foods) Oats (found primarily in breakfast cereals) Canola (canola oil is one of the most widely used cooking oils in the US) Alfalfa (fed to cattle, with beef and milk products containing the residue) Sugar beets (sugar sweetened cereal is a triple whammy, with high fructose corn syrup and oats or corn in it, with a sprinkling of sugar on the outside) You are far safer eating wheat products than corn, oat or soy products. and you should consider buying organic as much as possible. Do not use corn oil or canola oil for cooking. If you use sugar, look for cane sugar. I don't know how safe olive oil or coconut oil are because there has been so little testing. Here is a link about the resumption of testing for weed killers, which was suspended in 2015: FDA Resumes Testing Foods For Weed Killer, Safety Questions Grow Posted on June 8, 2017 by Carey Gillam The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has resumed its first-ever endeavor to evaluate how much of a controversial chemical is making its way into the U.S. food supply. And the tests can’t come soon enough as safety concerns about the herbicide known as glyphosate grow. The FDA, the nation’s chief food safety regulator, launched what it calls a “special assignment” last year to analyze certain foods for glyphosate residues after the agency was criticized by the U.S. Government Accountability Office for failing to include glyphosate in annual testing programs that look for many less-used pesticides in foods. But the agency scuttled the testing after only a few months amid disagreement and difficulties with establishing a standard methodology to use across the agency’s multiple U.S. laboratories, according to FDA sources.

Quoting: keybored The study, carried out by the non-profit Environmental Working Group, found that 43 out of 45 popular breakfast cereals tested in three locations in the US contained traces of glyphosate. 31 of these contained dangerously high levels of the chemical. Glyphosate is the active ingredient in Roundup, a weedkiller manufactured by Monsanto. Roundup is the most popular weedkiller in the US, and last week a court in California ordered the company to pay $39 million in compensation and $250 million in punitive damages to a school groundskeeper who developed non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma after years of using Roundup at work.
