Is Roundup the Cause of 'Gluten Intolerance'?

4. I find it absolutely horrifying that we routinely spray RoundUp on crops just before harvest.

I find it absolutely horrifying that grain producers routinely spray RoundUp on crops just before harvest. Grain dries-down naturally, so all this spraying accomplishes is speeding-up the process a little. While I can certainly see the advantage of greater control, especially in my rainy neck of the woods, RoundUp (glyphosate) is a systemic poison. Why would we ever poison our food this way?

Whether or not glyphosate residues are contributing to gluten intolerance (which I suffer from), I think that they are certainly affecting our health in some negative manner. \

You learn something new every day, and most of these learned things add to the argument that organic foods are the healthiest and best choice for all of us.
