Most Americans are completely unaware of the widespread use of glyphosate, the active ingredient in Monsanto's Roundup weed killer, as a pre-harvest tool on various crops. This practice, known as desiccation, is raising serious concerns over the potential health impacts of glyphosate residues in food products.

Glyphosate, long criticized for its potential cancer-causing properties, has been classified as a probable carcinogen by the World Health Organization. In addition to its carcinogenic effects, studies have shown that glyphosate acts as an endocrine disruptor and can severely damage beneficial gut bacteria, DNA, and even cause birth defects in animals (remember that humans are animals too).

The alarming reality, however, is that farmers often spray glyphosate on crops such as wheat, oats, rye, barley, and beans right before harvest. This practice, which originated in Scotland in the 1980s, has since spread globally, particularly in regions with wetter climates like the Upper Midwest of the United States and provinces in Canada.

The primary goal is to speed up the drying process, enabling earlier harvesting plus preventing mold and mildew in the silos. This practice, known as desiccation, is raising serious concerns about the potential health impacts of glyphosate residues in food products. Who cares about human health and if babies get birth defects from it, right? It's all about the bottom line and profits when it comes to corporate food in America.

Charles Benbrook, a renowned agricultural expert, recently shared his thoughts on the widespread use of glyphosate as a pre-harvest tool on various crops. The revelation has sent shockwaves through the agricultural and health communities, raising serious concerns about the potential health impacts of glyphosate residues in food products.
