Monsanto’s Glyphosate Found in California Wines, Even Wines Made With Organic Grapes

[n2doc]

Shortly after the release of a report showing 14 beers testing positive for glyphosate in Germany, a concerned supporter of Moms Across America approached me at a convention with disturbing news. He said he had test results from Microbe Inotech Lab of St.Louis showing 10 different wines, from large and small vineyards, contained the chemical glyphosate, the active ingredient in Monsanto’s Roundup weedkiller, including wine made with organic grapes.

The contamination of conventional wine was 28 times higher than organic wine, with levels ranging from 0.659 ppb in organic to 18.74 ppb in conventional wine.

The wines tested came from Napa Valley, Sonoma and Mendocino counties in California. The brand names of the wines were not revealed, and frankly, the brands are not the issue. The real issue is the widespread contamination of glyphosate based herbicides in consumer products.

1. Monsanto assures us that glyphosate can't be metabolized by people. I don't fucking believe them. nt

5. Not only that, but there is another really poisonous substance in wine.

It causes birth defects. It is a carcinogen. It's so potent, I've heard people even use it as a fuel in their cars!

ETHANOL!!

I can't believe people willingly drink something that is 12% poison. And now even the organic wine might have 0.0000000659% of this glphosate stuff?
