Glyphosate in Hummus Test Results Report

8月 31, 2018-フムスは、自分が健康であると考えるほとんどの人にとっての頼れるおやつです。どうやら、フムスのブランドは今、はるかに重要になっています。今日、アメリカ中のママは 8ブランドの10フムスサンプルのテスト結果 グリホサート残留物のレベルについて示しています。 1を除くすべてのサンプルは、定量化可能なレベルで陽性でした。グリホサートは、モンサントの人気の除草剤ラウンドアップに含まれており、収穫前に乾燥剤としてひよこ豆に一般的に散布されます。化学物質グリホサートは、ジョンソンvモンサント裁判の評決により、過去2週間で多数の見出しを作っています。ジョンソンは学校の農薬散布者であり、化学の巨人モンサントのju審員から「悪意と抑圧」またはグリホサート除草剤が癌を引き起こす可能性があることを知っているという事実を隠蔽したことで賞金 289.2を授与されました。グリホサート残留物が陽性と判定されたフムスのブランドは、カークランドシグネチャー、サブラシーダー、シンプリーバランス、トレーダージョー、サダフ、ホープでした。リリーの有機フムスは、グリホサートの定量化できない結果をもたらした唯一のブランドでした。

Zen Honeycutt, Founding Executive Director of Moms Across America stated, “Glyphosate residues in hummus are not surprising, due to the farming practice of spraying garbanzo beans preharvest with glyphosate as a drying agent, but these results are terribly disturbing. The agriculture industry has known since 2015 that the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) classified glyphosate as a probable carcinogen. They had ample time to discontinue the practice of spraying this herbicide on their crops. We hope now, with these results and the verdict of the Johnson v Monsanto lawsuit, that the EPA will revoke the license of glyphosate and farmers will stop using harmful chemicals.”

Lilly’s Hummus representative stated that they source their garbanzo beans from organic farmers in California. When asked about the absence of glyphosate in their products they stated, regarding their suppliers, “They perform random field pre-checks on crops, and recognize glyphosate as one of the worst herbicides. We’re very gratified to produce a nourishing product safe for individuals and families free of this substance.”

リリーでは検出できないものから、トレーダージョーズのフムスで30 ppbを超えるグリホサート（およびその分解AMPA）までさまざまなテスト結果は、作物に散布されるグリホサート除草剤のレベルの範囲を示しています。明らかに、リリーのサプライヤーの慣行は、グリホサート除草剤なしでガルバンゾ豆を収穫できることを示しています。

なぜフムスをテストするのですか？

Moms Across America has been especially concerned about the presence of glyphosate in hummus, as the consumption of hummus, fueled by companies like PepsiCo, has risen dramatically over the past five years.  Hummus sales are expected to grow to 1.1 billion by 2022. Hummus is considered a healthy snack for children, a popular protein replacement for meat for vegetarians, and vegans, and is a go-to party food on college campuses. In addition, Canadian activist Tony Mitra released records of 7,800 glyphosate test result findings from the Canadian Food Inspection Agency in 2017 in his book Poison Foods of North America. In those documents, results for glyphosate residues on garbanzo beans from North America had levels as high as 795 ppb. In other countries levels were, on average 32 ppb. Even organic garbanzo beans tested positive glyphosate residues, pointing to the problem of widespread contamination. Glyphosate herbicides have been found in rain, streams and irrigation water. The only way to prevent this problem is to revoke the license of glyphosate, a possibility the EPA has long been considering during its 9-year review of glyphosate for re-approval or denial.

フムスのグリホサートは安全ですか？

これらのレベルは害を引き起こすほど高くないと主張する人もいますが、研究によると、1兆分の1の割合で増加するだけです。 乳がん細胞の成長。  グリホサートは 生体内蓄積 骨、母乳、組織に含まれるため、1日の摂取量のみを考慮することは、科学的に不正確な評価です。さらに、非常に低レベルのグリホサート 安全ではないことが示されています.

Glyphosate herbicides have also been proven to cause liver disease at ultra-low levels, be disruptive to hormones and reproductive organs, cause preterm births and fertility issues,  destroy beneficial gut bacteria which impacts the immune system, and to be neurotoxic. Honeycutt and MAA, initiators of the first glyphosate testing surveys in 2013 on tap water, children’s urine, and breast milk, have long been asking the EPA to revoke the license of glyphosate. The presence of glyphosate, which has been shown on its own to be harmful, also indicates the possibility of the presence of glyphosate herbicide co-formulants, which have been shown to be 1000X more toxic than glyphosate alone.

50-year plant pathologist Dr. Don Huber, Professor Emeritus at Perdue University commented on the results, “Garbanzo beans, and products prepared from them, are promoted as a highly nutritious food.  It is, in part, this nutritional component that can also indirectly make them highly toxic to many life forms including humans because of their incorporation of the mineral chelating and antibiotic herbicide glyphosate (the active ingredient in Roundup®).  Unlike agricultural practices prior to glyphosate where the garbanzo beans were cut and wind-rowed to dry prior to harvesting; it is now a common practice to desiccate non-organic garbanzo beans with the Roundup herbicide 2-3 weeks before harvest. Glyphosate is a highly water-soluble, systemic herbicide that accumulates in the maturing beans by chelating with the minerals contained there.  This practice of chemical desiccation has resulted in some of the highest levels of glyphosate being present in the beans and food products made from garbanzo beans analyzed by the Canadian Food Inspection Authority (CFIA) as reported in the book in Poison Foods of North America.  It is hard to justify a practice that introduces a probable carcinogen into the food chain that also is correlated with the near-epidemic increase in over thirty diseases.  The absence of AMPA, the primary degradation product of glyphosate, indicates the glyphosate itself is a very stable poison that is too common in our food and food products. I compliment Moms Across America for their vigilance in pointing out the need for safer production and harvest practices for our food commodities."

しかし、EPAはグリホサート除草剤の使用を承認していますよね？

Although EPA staffers claim glyphosate herbicides are proven safe, when asked by Honeycutt in 2015, “Do you have any long-term animal studies with blood analysis, on the final formulation of Roundup?” The EPA staffer answered, “No, not that we are aware of.” “Then how can you claim that it is safe?” Honeycutt asked. The EPA Pesticide Review Board director ended the meeting.

Honeycutt states, “The fact is that the EPA approves these pesticides and herbicides that are sprayed on our food crops based on studies on one ingredient in the products, not the final formulation, so any claims that these chemicals that we are feeding our family are safe, at any level, is scientifically unfounded. In fact, new studies show them to be extremely harmful, and therefore must be avoided. We hope all hummus brands will publicly state that they will only accept clean, non-glyphosate sprayed ingredients and that the EPA will do what they are charged to do-protect the American people and revoke the license of glyphosate.”

私は何をすべきか？

To avoid glyphosate as much as possible, purchase organic or biodynamic foods. Ask your favorite hummus brand to stop sourcing garbanzo beans sprayed with glyphosate. To reduce glyphosate in your body, a study from Africa shows that acetobacter degrades glyphosate, breaking it down into nontoxic components, causing the glyphosate molecule to be gone. Acetobacter is found in Apple Cider Vinegar, sauerkraut and kombucha.
