The Deal with Glyphosate...

Glyphosate is a widely used herbicide that was first licensed for use in the mid-1970s.  Since then, it  has emerged in many common foods, and is implicated in the development of cancer.  It's worth examining what foods may contain this harmful chemical.


Is a Granola Bar 'Natural' if There's a Pesticide in it?

The new litigation against General Mills isn't focused on glyphosate's health effects, whatever they may be. Their claim, said lead attorney Kim Richman, is much simpler- that oats can't be "100% natural" if they're grown with a synthetic pesticide, and that calling them such misleads consumers.
