“80% of Americans test positive for toxic pesticide found in Cheerios, Quaker Oats that causes infertility, delayed puberty
View attachment 23699
A new study has revealed that 80 percent of Americans are testing positive for a toxic pesticide that is commonly found in grain-based
foods such as Quaker Oats and Cheerios.
The
harmful pesticide called chlormequat is linked to delayed puberty, infertility, and altered fetal growth.
The
study was conducted by the Journal of Exposure Science & Environmental Epidemiology and published by the Environmental Working Group (EWG).
In North America, the use of chlormequat chloride, a plant growth regulator, on grain crops is increasing. According to toxicological research, the study finds that exposure to chlormequat, at dosages below what regulatory bodies use to determine acceptable daily consumption levels, may impair developing fetuses and diminish fertility.
Urine samples collected from people in the US between 2017 and 2022 showed low quantities of chlormequat, however, samples from 2023 showed much higher concentrations of the pesticide...”
Not sure where we should all purchase “safe” oats? We eat oatmeal on a regular basis because we like it and oats, (without this pesticide) is so healthy.
