BREAKING: Roundup found in beer & wine samples (See the brands)
National Addiction News ^ | 2/26/19 | National Addiction News

Posted on 03/03/2019 9:24:08 AM PST by beekay

We all know that alcoholic drinks are not a health food – and alcohol itself is linked to cancer. But, these new findings are just further evidence that this hazardous weed killer is ending up in almost everything that we eat and drink. How much weed killer are we each eating every day?

Breaking new tests conducted by the consumer interest group U.S. PIRG finds that many popular beer and wine brands are contaminated with – glyphosate (the main ingredient in Roundup).

If I take 1,000,000,000 and divide by 128 oz per gallon

I get 7,812,500 gallons per 1 Billion OZ

so 1 oz in 7,812,500 gallons is 1 PPB

Large trucks typically have capacities ranging from 5,500 to 11,600 US gallons

7,812,500 gallons divided by 10,000 gallons per truck average is 781.25 trucks @ 10,000 gallons each

1 oz of toxin in 781 tanker trucks.....

The acute oral LD50 in the rat is 5,600 mg/kg. Other oral LD50 values for glyphosate are 1,538 to greater than 10,000 mg/kg for mice, rabbits mg/kg, and goats.

There are 1,000,000 mg per kg.

Glyphosate is poorly absorbed from the digestive tract and is largely excreted unchanged by mammals. Ten days after treatment there were only minute amounts in the tissues of rats fed glyphosate for three weeks.

Cows, chickens, and pigs fed small amounts had undetectable levels (less than 0.05 ppm) in muscle tissue and fat. Levels in milk and eggs were also undetectable (less than 0.025 ppm). Nearly all glyphosate residues were rapidly eliminated by fish that had been exposed for 10 to 14 days once these fish were transferred to glyphosate-free water. Glyphosate has no significant potential to accumulate in animal tissue

This is why I’m only drinking European beer where use of glyphosates are banned..

I’m convinced: Beer is safer for breakfast!

Anresco, a U.S. Federal Drug Administration (FDA) registered lab and used liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS), a method widely considered by the scientific community and regulators as the most reliable for analyzing glyphosate residues.

Partial results:

• General Mills’ Cheerios at 1,125.3 parts per billion (ppb)
• Kashi soft-baked oatmeal dark chocolate cookies at 275.57 ppb
• Ritz Crackers at 270.24 ppb

And the dihydrogen monoxide was through the roof! A chemical! That kills people!

I decided that I'd stop drinking DHMO altogether and drink only vodka instead. After 6 months I'd lost my job and become homeless, and then I developed pancreatitis and had to spend a month in hospital. It was only then that I realised how foolish I'd been, because vodka contains 60% DHMO.

Did they test for trace levels of any other agricultural chemicals? Glyphosate is generally regarded as less toxic, less persistent, and more environmentally desirable than alternative herbicides. The greenie objection to glyphosate has little or nothing to do with glyphosate itself. The objection is that glyphosate is used with Roundup Ready plants. The real target is GMO’s, not glyphosate.

My beers are PBR, Carta Blanca and Dogfish Head 90. So they are OK?

In fact, Roundup is used on about 80% of all the crops grown in the US and is responsible for the incredible productivity of our farms.

Yep, and the "organic food" crowd are doing everything they can to put an end to that productivity. Once they eliminate farting cows and modern farming, we can enjoy the benefits of medieval life, including the shorter life spans.

Reminds me of the guy who put Crisco on his "manhood" to make it bigger. The trouble was, it kept getting smaller. In desperation the guy goes to the doctor and tells him what he's been doing. "You fool!" exclaims the doctor. "Crisco is shortening!"

And you know what— something FAR more disturbing is the ACTUAL ignoring by people who should know better of truly screwing with nature....

Example: the insertion of “fish genes” in row crop genetic manipulation-— true “frankenfood”. Never, ever in any natural situation, would a fish of any kind genetically combine say with a corn plant, or sorghum or whatever.
The net result IS a Nature impossible plant— that the “manipulator” by LAW (SCOTUS decided) may PATENT. Patent a “new life form”.
Far more worrisome than a measurable toxin that can be maintained and de natured and controlled. A life form that is actually impossible— and the “Law of Unintended Consequences” comes into play. Ignored as the “stuff of Sci-Fi”. Monsanto on the other side— blamed for creating corn seeds that do breed with next door non Monsanto seeds (like in India) which produce seed corn that is sterile hybrid— ie. cannot be saved back for next year’s crop, because it will not sprout/grow-— this has happened, and is a big deal for small farmers, and not some lib/commie concoction ( speaking as a conservative).

Odd. I see Coors Light on the list of "beers".

Coors Light is not beer. At least, not to anyone who didn't just crawl across 15 miles of desert.

That which does not kill us, makes us stronger.

So...drink up!

Totally disagree.
Coors light chilled to the slush point (27F) is God’s gift on a hot afternoon.

productivity of corn ethanol, of course. See how this goes— the argument was.... reduce import of Saudi oil. Well— now we export US oil.... net exporter. And it is not because of ethanol additives from corn from glyphosphate immune gmo corn. It is because the lib/jackasses got the hell out of the way of fracking and incredible vast new oil fields in US control and on US soil.

To keep in perspective the point of view. Am just to the right of Ghengis Khan, btw— and can’t generally stand any of the RINO/LIB conspiracy that led to the Bob Dole wing of the Corn Lobby and polluting ethanol that COSTs more to make than it saves, and destroys our small engines, and auto engines in the process. Everybody, every lobby getting a piece of bull crapola in the “deal”. Lets get back to 100 octane, low burning, methane additive (cellulosic alcohol, sterno if you will) fuel. And stop the Tesla, self driving googgggggle controlled world the elite have in mind.

I’m certainly not a farmer, just a hobby farm. But, my great grandfather was always experimenting with apple varieties and he shipped them by the rail car load. He had to do it the old fashioned way, by grafting, but I suspect that he would gmo methods these days.

Thanks for the rant.

I read about this on Natural News. I bet it’s found in other brands, too.

The issue is much bigger than your small perspective. Perfect food, perfect situation - hell no.

But be thankful you can complain with your mouth full.

Not a recent farmer— part subsistence (constant fresh salads mostly our goal— kitchen farm we call it, and maybe some cattle free ranged.

Apologies for the rant. No problem with what the Lefties have problems with.... the catholic monk Mendel— normal natural cross breeding to produce a better plant. IOW certain gmo recombinant use of plant genes-— no problem. But-— fish genes? Michael Crichton wrote a few last books on the potential of this (and he was a genius on “global warming” bull crap).

A decision wisely made long ago by the great W.C. Fields, on account of “what fish, DO in it!” . Heh!

FYI: crops Genetically altered to be Roundup herbicide ready (Roundup can be applied directly to the crop without affecting it) are; alfalfa, canola, corn, soybean and sugarbeet.
