STORY AT-A-GLANCE

  • A pilot study by the Environmental Working Group reveals 80% of Americans tested positive for chlormequat chloride, a pesticide and growth regulator
  • 92% of oat-based foods, including popular brands like Quaker Oats and Cheerios, also contained the chemical
  • The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has proposed expanding chlormequat use to staple grains to increase yields, despite potential health risks
  • Animal studies show chlormequat is linked to reproductive and developmental problems, raising concerns for human health
  • EWG opposes the EPA’s plan, urging further investigation, and recommends buying organic oat products to avoid exposure

About michael burgwin

A child of the peace and antiWar movements, a Truther with self-diagnosed Opposition Defiance Disorder, formerly politically liberal tho now politically marooned, and Post-Doomer, on any issue, I trend to the conspiracy side, sort through the absurd, fantastical and insane, until I find firm ground usually located just the other side of the censorship firewall of propaganda and orthodoxy, dogma, and other either / or thinking.
