Watch out for this kind of pasta

If you're gluten-free or buy "chickpea" and "lentil" pastas…

I have some important new information for you.

The nonprofit group, Moms Across America, recently sent several gluten-free products to a lab to test for glyphosate (Roundup) residues.

Roundup is one of the most widely used weed killers in the world, and residues of it are ending up in food products on the shelf. 

The only way we can find out which products it's in is to individually test them. 

It's been found in Cheerios, Quaker Oats, Ben & Jerry's ice cream, Kellogg's Corn Flakes and Doritos…and hundreds more popular products. 

Out of the new gluten-free products that Moms Across America had tested, 44 out of 46 samples were contaminated with Roundup.

Banza pasta (which is made from chickpeas and isn't organic) had alarming levels

According to Moms Across America, Banza pasta had MORE glyphosate than any food the lab has EVER tested: 2,963 ppb

To give you an idea of how much this is, only 10 ppb is the "acceptable threshold" for glyphosate residues in Europe. 

They also found high levels in:

  • Bob's Red Mill All-Purpose Flour (gluten-free)
  • Flax4Life Chocolate Brownies
  • Pamela's Figgies and Jammies Cookies
  • Kind Kids Chewy Chocolate Chip Bars

This is highly concerning because Roundup is strongly linked to cancer

It also may negatively affect fertility.

And increasing Roundup use is correlated with the rise in celiac disease.

Could all of the Roundup in our food be why celiac disease is increasing? What about autoimmune diseases? Or cancer?

Roundup doesn't just wash off or cook out of your food. It's absorbed into the flesh of the food, where it remains until we eat it. This is what really makes it so rampant. It's in just about everything.

In the meantime, it's safest to choose organic food because at least it isn't sprayed directly with Roundup and is typically less contaminated.

Share this news with your friends who might be buying Banza pasta. 

You can share on Instagram, Facebook, or TikTok, or forward this email to them.  

It's time that everyone takes this seriously! We can't sit back and continue letting them poison our food.
