CEREAL KILLER ON THE LOOSE, STUDY SAYS BREAKFAST FOODS HAS WEED KILLER IN THEM

Your morning breakfast cereal may not be as healthy as you once thought. A recent study conducted by The Environmental Working Group (EWG) found unsafe amounts of the herbicide glyphosate in a number of popular breakfast cereals and snacks including Cheerios and Quaker Oats.

The study tested 29 different grain-based products, with all but five testing positive for glyphosate. Glyphosate is the main ingredient in weed killers such as Roundup and has been linked to cancer.

The news comes one week after chemical giant Monsanto was ordered by a court to pay $289 million to a terminal cancer patient whose illness could be attributed to using its Roundup weed killer. According to USA Today, hundreds of similar cases have been filed against Monsanto and are currently working their way through the court system.
