How bad can it be?

As I have written about before, glyphosate (Round-up) and other herbicides are sprayed on almost all of our commercial grains, legumes, and seed oil crops to kill the plants all at once, thus making the processing much easier. These desiccants, as they are called, are found in trace amounts in our commercial grains and seed oils as well as legumes. That means in our breads, flours, crackers, cookies, cakes and snack foods that are not labelled organic will most likely contain glyphosates. You know, pretty much all of the food found on the inside aisles of our grocery stores. This use of glyphosate as a desiccant is relatively new.

The chart below speaks for itself, with corn, soybeans, and wheat using most of the administered glyphosate product.
