The levels (of glyphosate that the) French researchers found in sperm were four times higher than in the men’s blood
Eating organic produce did not have a clear impact on levels.

Remember kids, the market does not aim to produce food but profit. If it can get you to pay for eating sawdust or forever chemicals it will and it has.
Meh, this is just the free market in action. Now after decades of “collateral damage,” the market can correct itself. People will stop using the offending brand(s) because everyone needs to be an expert on literally everything or else they too can become collateral damage while the market “corrects.” It’s their own fault really.
And in this case, customers will stop using companies and services that use RoundUp, because again, they need to know everything including what chemicals that the contractor their town hired uses in the public park. And then lobby them to switch to a (likely more expensive) alternative.
Come on, that’s just capitalism, guys smh
Don’t forget people use a lot of Roundup for lawns and weed control too. Few homeowners wear respirators when using the stuff and pets track it back into homes. Also glyphosate remains in the soil for years too.
Mexico was going to ban it, but guess which nation leaves hard on them until they didn’t.
Average consumers can’t keep up with everything, which makes this especially egregious.
Hey, sawdust is in our foods. Cellulose is generally okay but corporations will always find the cheapest source and that may not be so good for you.
Sawdust from hazel wood? Great, I guess.
Sawdust from old IKEA furniture? Cheaper / better!
Sawdust would be an improvement. It’s just fiber, desperately absent fiber.
Since we’re not starving to death, in fact are more likely to be obese, the addition of fiber can be a good thing. It helps move the starch molecules through the stomach and small intestine faster so they don’t cause a blood sugar spike, and helps you feel full longer. In the case of cheese, which is very constipating, the addition of fiber can mitigate that effect. It’s good for the bowels and may help prevent hemorrhoids. Psyllium is more effective because it absorbs water and surrounds the starch and fat molecules, but it has a negative effect on the texture of dough and would make the grated cheese more gluey rather than keeping it from sticking together. Cheese itself isn’t starchy but it’s often eaten with starch, like pizza crust or croutons. Wheat bran is full of cellulose, it’s part of why whole-wheat flour is healthier.

Yes, that’s what makes it fiber.
Upton Sinclair’s “The Jungle” gave a [somewhat] fictionalized account of the conditions of the meat packing industry in the early 20th century. It paints a gruesome picture. Federal agents sent to the Chicago slaughterhouses to investigate by then President Theodore Roosevelt confirmed the truth of most of the books details. And that was after the plant owners found out they were coming and had the plants thoroughly cleaned.
The market (aka greedy assholes) have conned people into paying for and eating worse things than sawdust.
