Our Members Asked:
How concerned should I be about glyphosate in foods and supplements?
Answer:
Glyphosate is the synthetic chemical in RoundUp herbicide, designed to kill weeds around plants that have been genetically altered to withstand it, such as genetically modified (GMO) soybeans and corn. It is also sprayed on many types of conventional crops such as wheat, oats, and barley prior to harvest as a drying agent and to even-out maturity. A USDA study published in 2014 found that it was also commonly used on cherries, avocados, apples, lemons, grapefruit, peanuts, and pecans (USDA 2014). Glyphosate is also found in processed foods containing these ingredients and cannot be removed by washing, cooking, or baking. It can remain stable in food for a year or more.
