70 Foods That Get Sprayed With Weed Killer
Glyphosate
What is it?
It’s the active ingredient in most weed killers.
It can’t be washed off.
Once sprayed on food it becomes part of the food itself and can end up in your body.
In fact, one study found that the number of Americans with Glyphosate in their urine skyrocketed between 1993 and 2016.
Scary, considering all the health problems associated with this chemical.
