FDA Finds Monsantos Roundup In Honey Samples Across AmericaBy Heather Callaghan Glyphosate the active ingredient in Monsantos Roundup and now other chemical compounds thanks to an expired patent has been found in pregnant women, breakfast foods, snacks, urine, blood, breast milk, tampons, beer, vaccines, in stillborn piglets and so much more. It should be a top-priority to make sure non-Roundup-Ready beings are never exposed to glyphosate since it causes breast cancer in parts per trillion. In 2015, the World Health Organizations IARC declared that glyphosate was a probable human carcinogen and it was recently verified that it alters DNA in a very damaging way. So one would think it would be prudent to test food samples like honey considering that we have a pollinator crisis and considering that honey is the product of pollinators who grab their food supply in a world besieged by Roundup Ready crops. Last year, researchers found glyphosate residues in honey, soy sauce and many other food and condiments. Could that be why the FDA quietly tested honey samples? Typically, government agencies like the FDA and USDA roll out the protected red carpet for multinational corporations like Monsanto. This time, however, public pressure has twisted the FDAs arm into testing honey for glyphosate residue. Huffington Post reports: [] Records obtained from the FDA, as well as the Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Department of Agriculture, detail a range of revelations about the federal governments efforts to get a handle on these rising concerns. In addition to honey, the records show government residue experts discussing glyphosate found in soybean and wheat samples, glyphosate controversies, and the belief that there could be a lot of violation for glyphosate residues in U.S. crops. Sure enough, independent research findings and public and scientific concern and especially criticism from the U.S. Government Accountability Office prompted the FDA to finally test for glyphosate residues earlier this year even though the agency usually skips glyphosate while conducting pesticide tests and as usual, maintains the safety of glyphosate. The voice of reason, however, would prompt thorough and frequent testing to get an accurate gauge of the amounts typically consumed since glyphosate obviously winds up in a variety of produce and packaged foods. Trace amounts add up with each bite and there is evidence that glyphosate accumulates in animals and humans. According to one internal email, an FDA researcher said: It is difficult to find blank honey that does not contain residue. I collect about 10 samples of honey in the market and they all contain glyphosate. Sadly, even organic mountain honey contained residue, according to the Huffington Post report. The following findings are blurring the lines of the all natural promises of food labels, likely unbeknownst to the honey producers themselves: According to the FDA records, samples tested by FDA chemist Narong Chamkasem showed residue levels at 107 ppb in samples the FDA associated with Louisiana-based Carmichaels Honey; 22 ppb in honey the FDA linked to Leightons Orange Blossom Honey in Florida and residues at 41 ppb in samples the FDA associated with Iowa-based Sue Bee Honey, which is marketed by a cooperative of American beekeepers as pure, all-natural and Americas Honey. Customers can be assured that Sue Bee Honey is 100% pure, 100% all-natural and 100% American, the Sioux Honey Association states. Worse yet while the EU glyphosate limit is 50 ppb, glyphosate is not supposed to be in American honey. Yet, one FDA chemist deflected the gravity of the issue by calling it only technically a violation but blaming the bees for introducing the unwanted ingredient as opposed to the beekeepers/producers (or the real people responsible for introducing an herbicide into the food supply. This prompted people to wonder if the EPA would set a tolerance level for glyphosate and how high or low that bar would be set because that would determine if producers were breaking the law. Instead the agency retorted: there is no dietary risk concern from exposure to glyphosate residues in honey at this time. Really? Last years Abraxis/Boston University study found glyphosate residues in 41 of 69 honey samples with glyphosate levels between 17 and 163 ppb, with the mean average being 64 ppb. Bill Huser, Vice President of Sioux Honey pointed out that glyphosate is common and that the pesticide will picked by bees looking for food and bringing it back to the hive. He listed the crops that could be easily visited by honey bees and affected by pesticide drift: clover, alfalfa, soy, cotton, etc. He added, The industry doesnt have any control over environmental impacts like this. Hes right its the chemical industry and government agencies that have control over this impact and they have been negligent if their actions are contaminating food. This is precisely why environmental impact assessments are supposed to be done prior to a product entering the market, and checked on by regulatory agencies thereafter. A honey company operator complained: I dont understand how Im supposed to control the level of glyphosate in my honey when Im not the one using Roundup Its all around me. Its unfair. It looks the buck was heavily passed around to the detriment of the bees, the producers, the consumer and the food supply. At least a California presentation of results suggests that perhaps, glyphosate screening will become more routine.

Why would they want to be bothered? I think its worse than that. IMO they dont test, not because of cost restraint or not wanting to bother, but because they know without a doubt it is definitely a human (and all animals I would assume) carcinogen and they absolutely want it infecting every aspect of life (think about the contaminants on your cotton clothing too, or the studies that show approx 75% of tampons and such are also contaminated hence the absurd rates of cervical/ovarian cancer in YOUNG women). Its part of the slow kill process to attain the 90% depopulation these satanist desire (misery, profits, death).
