Glyphosate is the active ingredient in Roundup. It has been linked to triggering auto-immunity including Celiac's as it is regularly spread on wheat fields. It damages the gut and does not break down in the body. Residues have been found in corn, soy, sugar and rape seed oils. You cannot wash it off food! This article tells you how to minimise the impact of glyphosate.

as a beekeeper I can thoroughly recommend leaving dandelions as they're the (invariably) first forage of the year, a few others are hazel, willow, etc and glyphosate (which in my farming days I applied using sprayers on both my back and the tractor mounted types) has been viewed with some suspicion by a small sector of the growing community for decades. horrible stuff but all part of monsatan's drive to ultimately control food production globally. hideous company, hideous behaviour including suing entire countries, lying about GMO and seeing individuals JAILED for breach of patent laws where cross-pollination has occurred. truly the absolute pits.

They refused to accept that nicotinoids affected bees and tried to stop countries banning it. Really horrid company.
