Wheat

[Sugarlump]

There has been a lot of reports on fb about wheat being sprayed with roundup (a pesticide) a week before harvest as common practise, to increase the yield and make it easier to harvest as plant dying!
And subsequently, it is getting into the food chain and causing a lot of so-called wheat allergies.
I sure  s don't like the idea of digesting a lot of roundup with my non-functioning kidneys so have started buying organic flour and making my own bread.
Apparently it happens to other crops as well and is allowed!!!!! (By whom) and for animal feed products too, which could go on to contaminate meat too...
 

What are your thoughts on this.

My nutritionist took me off all wheat products in August as a way to increase my immune system to fight off the Lyme disease. I have to say that I feel better than I have in YEARS!!!! After I read the report about Roundup, I started to wonder if that were the reason for my feeling so much better. I might try making some bread with organic flour and see how my body reacts. At any rate, I'm staying away from most grains and life couldn't be better!

Its not only the scandalous amount of poisons in the wheat. After I started baking bread, my phosphorous dropped a lot too.

That's interesting do they add Phosphate to bread? or to the non-organic flour?
