GOLSSEN, GERMANY – AUGUST 15: Steffen Hausmann, who works at a local farming cooperative, stands on a parched cornfield at Goersdorf on August 15, 2018 near Golssen, Germany. Southern Brandenburg state has been hit especially hard by the recent drought and heat wave. “I’ve never seen anything like it, nor has my father” says Hausmann, whose family has been farming at Goersdorf for nine generations. The German government is due to hold discussions next week over aid to farmers affected by the drought. (Photo by Sean Gallup/Getty Images)
USA TODAY is reporting:
'A number of popular breakfast foods, including cereals, granola bars and instant oats, were tested and found to contain potentially dangerous amounts of cancer-linked glyphosate, the main ingredient in weed killer.
The Environmental Working Group (EWG), an environmental advocacy organization that conducted the study, said Wednesday that glyphosate was found in all but five of 29 oat-based foods that were tested.'
