C'mon! Who on his right mind sprays grapes with round up? Also those SHOCKING NUMBERS are parts per billion. There's no true Scotland there. It's like micro plastics, they're everywhere! Ubiquitous in nature make it way harder to pin point the damage it causes because of the lack of control groups.
As we all know, wine is made from grapes, and these grape plants are sprayed by Roundup. Roundup is used on every crop grown conventionally around the world. Contaminated soil can also retain these chemicals for over 20 years thereafter.
That is a blatant outright lie. There is no roundup resistant grape plant. Grapes are not sprayed with roundup. Vineyards in my area are listed with the USDA and farmers have to do extra paperwork and are restricted to certain conditions to be able to spray their row crops and pasture for up too and sometimes over a mile away if there is a vineyard.
Every crop grown conventionally? Also false. There is no publicly available roundup ready wheat, although wheat will get sprayed at maturity to kill it so that grain moisture is even and consistent at harvest. However, there are a lot of produce plants that are not roundup ready.
I don't want that shit in my food either, and yes it's the most widely used herbicide along side Atrazine (which has recently had some restrictions due to heavy runoff into streams and rivers destroying those ecosystems), but this article is sensationalism for the most part.
Glyphosate has for sure made it into nearly everything we eat, but it's not because those things are being sprayed with it.
I do also get very worried about what's the missing info about our food or even our medical treatments. I guess my take is that the amount of roundup is important, and from what I see on the news there's an hyper focus on RoundUp as if it where the most deadly product ever, while missing the forest. Have you ever wondered what other "poisons" can we be eating, some of Wich may not have as much name recognition but still pose health risks? Why so much worries about round up in vineyards, when they use way much more fungicides than herbicides -Captan, mancozeb? Did you know that this use can be so late into harvesting season that there's a real danger of contamination on wines and grape juices, raisins, fresh grapes...? And also I like to keep in mind that the spores from several fungus are teratogenic and carcinogenic, so there's an amplified risk on organic products that's not mention enough.
