Want to drink some weed killer? Have a beer (or wine)

[Flyn]

Traces of glyphosate, an ingredient in Round Up has been found in nearly all beers and many wines. Miller Lite and Bud Lite are two of them that contain glyphosate.

Traces of an ingredient found in weed killers have been discovered in popular beers and wine, according to a study by U.S. Public Interest Research Group (U.S. PIRG).

The pesticide and herbicide glyphosate, a key ingredient in Roundup, was found in 19 of the 20 wines and beers tested, even in organic brands.

Though the levels of glyphosate in the drinks tested aren’t necessarily dangerous, the World Health Organization said in a 2015 report that the pesticide is “probably carcinogenic to humans." In 2017, the California Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment announced glyphosate “would be added to the list of chemicals known to the state to cause cancer.”

But many health professionals have urged consumers not to panic and encourage more thorough research into the matter before cutting out any of these popular foods or drinks...

...However, none of the levels exceeded the Environmental Protection Agency’s risk tolerance for beverages.

“No matter the efforts of brewers and vintners, we found that it is incredibly difficult to avoid the troubling reality that consumers will likely drink glyphosate at every happy hour and backyard barbecue around the country,” Kara Cook-Schultz, of the U.S. PIRG Education Fund, who authored the study told USA TODAY.

Look at all the money I can save on roundup? I can drink more beer and piss on the weeds, sounds like a 2 for 1 deal.

I'll just leave this here.

As long as it's just "Slightly Toxic".

My concern is, if beer and wine contain the glyphosate, what about everything else that is grown or that eats plants that have been sprayed with Round Up?

The article is making organic food look better even with the higher prices.

50yrs ago MF'ers were eating fuckin' paint and working 60hrs a week for a snickers bar. Now, people are "allergic" to peanuts. STFU with this bullshit IMO.

Well certain traits are generational that hide in genetics. People can become lactose-intolerant over time because enzymes that bind to, and break down calcium become less effective. A reason for this is that ~50 years ago people got milk delivered to their door instead of eing able to buy it so readily in stores. Also, with economic growth and life-expectancy growth increasing, people become more exposed to foods and chemicals previous generations only encountered in limited quantities.

Not saying that people aren't getting softer, but more people are adding to the majority that is the United States which alters the views of society. As you may know, the minority-majority is a political term coined to a group that is made up of multiple individuals with ideas that should NOT be implemented because they do not represent the whole demographic which would alter progress. Depending on how you look at it, the internet has ruined collective progress with their minority opinions like anti-vaxers, etc. (I'm not accusing you of anything but that's one of the reasons why so much change in so little time has killed progress IMO.)

Organic food is such a joke. It most likely has the same amount of glyphosate traces that non-organic does.

preeeeeeach

TL;DR

I want to see a sickmint79 versus dberz94 debate.... That would have the longest posts ever on the forum.


I have a buddy that always feels the need to respond to a meme in a text with a paragraph on why its wrong, etc... It's like "Dude, just giggle and go about your day, it's a fucking meme!"

In California, sawdust is a known carcinogen. Really.

Some of the things on that list....


To qualify for that list, the item needs have a 1/100,000 chance of increasing cancer.
