Scandal: FDA Found Glyphosate in Nearly all Foods tested and Hid the Results
More corruption scandals unfolding in one of the alphabet agencies again. Big shocker right? I mean the CIA, FBI, CDC and just about every other 3 letter “Government Agency” including the FDA is entangled in fraudulent criminal activities. It’s become so common that stories like these do not shock me in the slightest. We’ve basically become desensitized and have accepted this as the “norm.”
Government scientists at U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) have found the weed killer ingredient glyphosate in many popular processed foods. This information was in emails that were obtained through a freedom of information request.
The leaked information shows that the organization has had trouble finding foods that do NOT contain traces of this harmful chemical. Cornmeal, crackers, cereals and many other processed foods all show traces of glyphosate. The internal FDA email is dated January 2017 and is a portion of many communications within the organization to determine just how much glyphosate is in our nation’s food supply.
It is the first time the FDA has attempted to ascertain the levels and potential risks of glyphosate contamination.As you may know, glyphosate has been used for the past 40 years. Yet, the FDA just recently begun testing for it. (not a comforting thought – if you think about their slow reaction time)
Demand for testing intensified in 2015 following the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) classification of glyphosate as a ‘probable human carcinogen.’
“Who controls the food supply controls the people; who controls the energy can control whole continents; who controls money can control the world.”

Fraudulent Science Runs Rampant
According to USA Today, more than half of the experts hired by the FDA to advise the government on the safety and effectiveness of medicines have direct financial relationships with the pharmaceutical companies who will either be helped or hurt by FDA approval.
“How confident can we be in the recommendations of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) when the chairman [of Vaccines and Related Biological Products Advisory Committee] and other individuals on their advisory committee own stock in major manufacturers of vaccines?”
-Congressman Dan Burton
“The people in charge [FDA officials] don’t say ‘Should we approve this drug?’ They say ‘Hey, how can we get this drug approved?’”

The conflict of interest amongst the FDA has become so apparent that it has caught the attention of major university researchers. A team of Harvard University professors has publicly advised physicians NOT to prescribe new drugs to their patients because their safety has not been established, despite FDA approval!
FDA Claims Pesticide Testing Was On Samples That Were “Not Official”
Roundup and other pesticide brands are sprayed directly on to many crops such as corn, wheat, oats and soybeans. It is also used on fields before growing season on crops like spinach and almonds.
While the levels are low, some exceed accepted guidelines, including in corn, where “over tolerance” levels were detected. (The legal limit is 5.0 ppm, and 6.5 ppm was detected.) Of course, the FDA dismissed its findings, along with other information in the email, stating that the foods tested were not “official samples.”
The FDA says it will be releasing official findings in a report later in 2018 or early 2019. These types of reports are typically released around two to two and a half years after data has been collected.
Monsanto, often called “the most evil corporation” in the United States, has tried to block information regarding glyphosate food residue from being introduced as evidence in a court case regarding its Roundup products and their link with a higher risk of cancer. Fortunately, the San Francisco superior court judge denied has already denied such a motion.
So, what can you do? First of all NEVER believe a pharmaceutical is safe because the FDA approved it. Keep in mind every drug that’s ever been recalled was once approved “safe” by the FDA. As far as toxic pesticides on our food sources, avoid processed foods sold in most supermarkets. Start spending your money on locally grown (chemical free) organic foods. Keep in mind, many local farmers markets don’t necessarily offer “certified organic” foods, but their non-toxic farming practices tend to offer much better produce – at very reasonable prices.
