>Several popular breakfast foods, including Cheerios and Nature Valley products, continue to test positive for trace amounts of a controversial herbicide that may increase the risk of cancer, according to a report released Wednesday by an environmental advocacy group.

>The Environmental Working Group, which has links to the organics industry, found that all 21 of the products it tested had levels of glyphosate that were "higher than what EWG scientists consider protective for children's health."

Should trace amounts of cancer-causing pesticides be allowed in our food?

People who eat breakfast cereals or feed them to their children are morons anyway. No exceptions. It is a shitty, scammy processed food product that shouldn't still exist.

It's OK, I already smoke, eat red meat, live a sedentary lifestyle, and drink coffee. The trick is to get as many cancer causing habits in as you can so at least when you get cancer you won't feel disappointed in yourself for refraining from things you enjoyed out of fear over getting a disease you ended up still getting anyway.

I don't really eat regular surrl. Has this stuff been detected in loose oats, rice and/or bulghur? Cuz I make granola-likes outta those and eat that.

roundup does not cause cancer. they've injected mice with million times the normal dose and it doesn't do anything.

that's actually a good point. everyone will get cancer if they live long enough, it's a genetic inevitability. it's just a question of whether you die from something else first, and you want to balance risk management with enjoyment or you'll miss out for nothing

I only give a shit about the things that will give me cancer before I'm already in my twilight years. What can I avoid eating or avoid exposing myself to that will give me cancer within 10 years of exposure? That's what I care about. Cancer is just that your cells have mutated to a point where they can no longer correctly recreate themselves, and I suspect that stats for elderly folks in their 90's dying of "lung cancer" because their genetics finally gave up are tainting the results.
