Traces of Weed Killer Found in Several Beer and Wine Brands

February 26, 2019

Traces of a herbicide commonly used in weed killer have been detected in several leading beer and wine brands, including Coors Light, Budweiser and Beringer, according to a report published by public-interest advocacy group US PIRG.

A study by research group US PIRG tested five wines and 15 beers for glyphosate – the most common herbicide in the world and an ingredient in the weed killer Roundup.

    “FAKE NEWS!!” – Thanks for using my industry to push your political agenda. Title is intentionally misleading. (I don’t use roundup for many reasons, but you loose credibility with scare tactics and manipulation). Read the study.

    Choice quotes from article above

    “Some very quick background: in 2015, the International Agency for Research on Cancer, an arm of the World Health Organization, classified glyphosate as “probably carcinogenic in humans.” Glyphosate joins that list along with red meat and drinks hotter than 65C.”

    “But recent scrutiny of the methods used to analyze the data from these animal studies has called the conclusions of those experiments into doubt. And long-term studies of human health records have not uncovered any increase in cancer among humans routinely exposed to glyphosate, like farm workers. The substance thus qualifies as a hazard—meaning that exposure to some amount of it might theoretically cause cancer—rather than a risk, which means that exposure to a given amount has actually been demonstrated to cause cancer.”
