Please check out this new study to find out the level of glyphosate poison in the brands of hummus, chickpeas, beans, and lentils you buy.
“Of the 37 conventional, or non-organic, chickpea and chickpea-based samples tested, nearly 90 percent had detectable levels of glyphosate. One-third of the 27 conventional hummus samples exceeded EWG’s health-based benchmark for daily consumption.” The Environmental Working Group also tested samples of organic hummus and chickpeas. Shockingly, the hummus product with the highest level of glyphosate (> 2,000 ppb, nearly 15 times the EWG safety benchmark), was Whole Foods Market Original Hummus.
To date approximately 18,400 Americans have individually sued Monsanto owner Bayer AG claiming their non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma and other cancers were caused by glyphosate. Bayer AG anticipates the lawsuits to exceed 45,000 and has offered $10 billion to settle them.
Last week, as reported in U.S. Right To Know, “In yet another court loss for Monsanto owner Bayer AG, an appeals court rejected the company’s effort to overturn the trial victory notched by a California school groundskeeper who alleged exposure to Monsanto’s glyphosate herbicides caused him to develop cancer, though the court did say damages should be cut to $20.5 million.
The court stated, “In our view, Johnson presented abundant—and certainly substantial— evidence that glyphosate, together with the other ingredients in Roundup products, caused his cancer,” the court stated. “Expert after expert provided evidence both that Roundup products are capable of causing non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma… and caused Johnson’s cancer in particular.”
The court further noted that “there was overwhelming evidence that Johnson has suffered, and will continue to suffer for the rest of his life, significant pain and suffering.”
