🤓 Glyphosate is used on oat crops after harvest as a dessicant: a type of drying agent.
Because it quickly kills and cures the crops, glyphosate gets the oats to market faster.
Unfortunately, in this case, speed and productivity comes at the expense of our health, and the health of our microbiomes.
Nature Valley bars have alarmingly high levels of glyphosate, and you're better off avoiding them.
General Mills produces a wide range of sub-par products through their subisidaires.
Although we have fond childhood memories of Nature Valley products, they're not doing us any favors.
*please note that no two boxes of these granola bars have the same PPB of glyphosate. several tests indicate alarmingly high glyphosate content, but the exact amounts vary
Started in 2021, Cropspiracy is a free learning resource designed to educate people about glyphosate, an herbicide and pesticide proven to cause cancer, Parkinson's, IBS, and other issues.
Creators Colum O'Brien and David Lloyd believe information should be free and accessible, and began Cropspiracy in hopes of spreading the word about glyphosate across the world, particularly in the United States.
