Why should organic products not contain gluten?

• mirimir 9y ago
  I'm not arguing that they don't. But one hopes that they don't contain, for example, glyphosate.

    I wish people stop with this glyphosate in food. The traces we cand find aare in small quantities and even if you eat the same quantity of lead, you should still be fine. The issue with glyphosate is the volatility, the fact that it stay in the ground, it can be absorbed through the skin (hence bad for farmers and people living near farms) but at least in europe, the quantities you can ingest are too small to endanger you. The fact that the main arguments of anti-glyphosate is this flawed argument, lobbies can easely convince the legislators that this argument have non-scientific ground (obviously) and should be ignored.

      Sorry. It was a bad example of pesticides. I used it because it's been discussed.

      See Oct JAMA article; while food may contain only trace amounts we're ingesting and excreting more than ever.
