I see where cheerio's have the highest concentration of Glycophosfate.
Isn't that the same as Agent Orange?
General Mills claims that they are safe to eat.
What do y'all think?

I thought it was Roundup.

What do y'all think? Not even close. To date there is no credible evidence that glyphosate is unsafe if used as directed.

Glyphos is roundup
Agent orange is 2,4,D
Btw, 2-4-D is still avail. I use it on certain broadleaf weeds that gly-4 is not controlling well. Gly-4 is more for grass (for my use)

Any grain today will possibly show evidence of glyphosphate, due to use of Roundup-Ready products.
It is what it is. <shrugs>

The problems associated with Agent Orange were caused by the trace amounts of dioxin ( 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin) that were present in AO. 2,4,5-T is pretty nasty stuff too, and it has been largely phased out of use.

Agent orange is a mixture of equal parts of 2-4-D and 2-4-5-T. They work entirely different than glypho.

No its not safe for an adult let alone our kids, its all around us up as they spray our newly planted forests of coniferous trees, to kill the light blocking deciduous trees, alls you can do is try to minimize the exposure.

Thanks for adding the other half of the product. I was leaning more in general sense to help the OP differentiate the fact that roundup is not agent orange If you want to post for me the fuggin Lewis structure, feel free to cock slap us all with the google fu discovery.

It is probably present in Cheerios because there is an "oat safe" version of Roundup they spray to keep weeds out of the oat fields. It's just as likely to be in your oatmeal for the same reason. But the amounts found there are truly infinitesimal. There are traces of arsenic in almost everything we eat too, you know. Not to mention growth hormones and antibiotics in eggs, meat, and milk. Big whoopee.

For what it's worth, I've been eating Cheerios for close to 60 years. My blood chemistry is right down the middle of the normal range. I don't take any prescription medicine. I had my prostate removed because of cancer but my Dad had prostate cancer too, and I don't know that he ever ate a Cheerio other than to see what it tasted like.
Whether Cheerios are the same as they were when I started eating them I have no idea. I don't seem to have come to any harm from eating them for breakfast every day I'm home.

Again, I had no idea of your prowess. Please, from now on don't hide it under a bushel. All I ever see you post is copy/n-paste new snippets from the google or yahoo so forgive my jump to assume that you borrowed your info. Carry on Cap'N  I'm gonna post up a rotten toenail thread later.👍
