Glifosato encontrado en todas las 5 principales marcas de jugo de naranja
Updated agosto 6, 2021
In 2015 the USDA reported orange juice was the most consumed fruit juice in the United States and oranges were the second most consumed fruit overall, just slightly behind apples. The average person in America consumes 2.7 gallons of orange juice and 3 pounds of oranges each year. “100% Pure Orange Juice” is a common claim used by many juice brands that allow consumers to feel safe when serving it to their families daily. However, recent testing revealed that every one of the five top orange juice brands Moms Across America sent to an accredited lab tested positive for glyphosate weed killer. Glyphosate is the declared active chemical ingredient in Roundup, manufactured by Monsanto, and 750 other brands of glyphosate-based herbicides. Roundup is the most widely used herbicide in the world, often sprayed as a weedkiller between citrus trees, found in irrigation water and rain.
El fundador de Moms Across America, Zen Honeycutt, declaró: "El descubrimiento de residuos de glifosato en el jugo de naranja es inaceptable, especialmente porque una rama del La Organización Mundial de la Salud designó al glifosato como probable carcinógeno, hace dos años, en la primavera de 2015 . La EPA ha tenido tiempo suficiente para revocar la licencia de este químico y restringir su uso en nuestros cultivos de alimentos y bebidas. Según lo confirmado por el Academia Americana de Pediatría , nuestros niños (que con frecuencia beben jugo de naranja para el desayuno) son especialmente vulnerables a los pesticidas y se deben tomar medidas de inmediato para protegerlos ".
Two samples of each of the following brands were tested for both the herbicide glyphosate and its residue AMPA. Positive results ranged from 4.33 parts per billion (“ppb”) to an alarming 26.05 ppb. Chemical farming proponents will claim that these levels are too low to cause harm, and are lower than the EPA's allowable glyphosate residue level of 30 ppm on citrus, but these claims are irrelevant in comparison to new data. Studies have shown that only 0.1 ppm (100ppb) of glyphosate destroys beneficial gut bacteria, weakening the immune system, which can lead to a wide variety of health and neurological issues. Considering the standard American diet high wheat, sugar, oatmeal, soy, and corn, with levels of up to 6000 ppb or 1.67ppm have been detected, a child can easily exceed 100 ppb if a glass of orange juice is added at 26 ppb.
Además, se ha demostrado que 1 parte por trillón (ppt) Estimular el crecimiento de las células de cáncer de mama. 1 ppt es equivalente a 1 caída en el agua de 22 piscinas olímpicas combinadas. Considerando que los estudios muestran el glifosato se bioacumula En la médula ósea, cualquier cantidad ingerida es inaceptable.
