You May Be Eating Herbicides, Here's Where They're Hiding

And if you’re not keeping an eye out for the worst offenders, these chemicals may actually end up in your family’s dinner plates.

The relentless PR departments from Monsanto will try to spin the reality of herbicides like Roundup, into narrative saying that it holds the key for perfected vegetables and the solution to end world hunger.

Nothing could be further from the truth, these companies only accept one responsibility: making profit.

That means that developing a herbicide specifically catered to help promote their GMO seed monopoly and increase the production output of their crops is tantamount.

So let’s start with the truly horrifying consequences of this “miracle” pesticide.

Herbicide Dangers:

No living organism can completely remove pesticides from their own system. This means that if anything you consume has been near pesticides, these food products will introduce the toxic herbicide compounds into your body.

And trust me, no good can come from having pesticide residue inhabiting your body.

Recently, a PhD researcher revealed that Roundup will be responsible for causing irreversible damage to humanity: by 2025 half of the entire world’s children will have autism.

It’s also known that pesticides are notorious endocrine disruptors that ultimately cause issues in your sexual health, metabolism, and the brain development in newborn children.

Pesticides are so toxic they even make your body increasingly predisposed to developing cancerous cells or accelerating growth of these dangerous tumors.

It should come as no surprise that recent studies have discovered that Roundup is actually 125 times more toxic that what official regulators claim it is.

What can you do?

I always recommend getting in touch with your local produce supplier to see what actually goes into their crops and cross referencing it to check if any of the treatments used come from Monsanto.

If you have the time and resources to spare, you can alternatively begin planting your own vegetables and herbs in your back yard.

However, I’ve also realized that this may not be enough, it seems herbicides are finding new ways to sneak in your mouth.

Hidden Pesticides

1. Breast Milk

If your diet relied heavily on soy or other foods that were treated with herbicides, you could be inadvertently passing these on to your children. Before you embark on the challenge of motherhood, be sure to change your diet to secure your baby’s primary food source.

2. Cereal

Remember how nothing can filter out herbicides? Companies like Kellogg’s are actively fighting labeling legislature because their products are riddled with these toxic chemicals.

3. Cows

Be it their milk or their meat, you want to avoid any cow byproducts. Why? Because the beef industry basically pumps their cattle full of antibiotics, growth hormones, and feed made with herbicide treated crops.

4. Feeding Tube Liquids

This is particularly horrifying because they’re primarily used to feed people with compromised immune systems in the healthcare system. A recent study showed that up to 30% of Pediasure samples had glyphosate!

By keeping vigilant you can avoid these dangerous sources of pesticides.
