    I also enjoy the occasional oatmilk latte but recently was reading something about how oats have all sorts of pesticides that can make their way into the milk

      Is there an agricultural product that you eat that does not contain pesticides in some quantity?

        Probably not but something like oatmilk could be consumed daily which i guess is where the problem comes in

          So you eat nothing else but animal products daily…? What you read reeks of fear-mongering with a good dose of “don’t think about it” thrown in, which clearly worked on you.

          As compared to onions, garlic, potatoes, bread, cereals, or fruit? I’d put adding 4 oz of oatmilk pretty low on our pesticide exposure list.

          Shoot, you should look up how American garlic’s been produced for the past few decades. It’s really disturbing and likely introducing pharmaceuticals back into human foods.

        yeah thats true, best bet is to research the brands of oatmilk you get to see if they are better or worse

          I don’t know if it’s the same outside Europe, but you could get certified organic
