Glyphosate (Monsanto Roundup) found in beer and wine brands
Η επικίνδυνη ενεργή ουσία Glyphosate του φυτοφαρμάκου της Monsanto "RoundUp" , βρέθηκε σε 14 δημοφιλείς γερμανικές μπύρες.
Το Περιβαλλοντικό Ινστιτούτο στο Μόναχο διεξήγαγε δοκιμές στις 14 μπύρες με τα υψηλότερα ποσοστά πωλήσεων στη Γερμανία και διαπίστωσε ότι όλες περιείχαν ίχνη του φυτοφαρμάκου.
Τα αποτελέσματα έδειξαν ότι οι μπύρες της ζυθοποιίας Hasseröder είχαν την υψηλότερη περιεκτικότητα στο φυτοφάρμακο - με 29,74 μικρογραμμάρια ανά λίτρο μπύρας.
Τα χαμηλότερα επίπεδα βρέθηκαν στις μπύρες της βαυαρικής Augustiner, με 0,46 μικρογραμμάρια ανά λίτρο. (src)

CBS news broke the announcement of a lawsuit against 31 brands of wines for high levels of inorganic arsenic.
Test results of 12 California wines that were all found to be positive for glyphosate in 2016. We tested further and released new findings last week of glyphosate in all of the most popular brands of wines in the world, the majority of which are from the U.S. and in batch test results in American beer.
French molecular biologist Gilles-Éric Séralini released shocking findings in January of 2018 that of all the Roundup products they tested, over a dozen had high levels of arsenic—over five times the allowable limit along with dangerous levels of heavy metals. The wine brands tested included Gallo, Beringer, Mondavi, Barefoot and Sutter Home. Beer brands tested included Budweiser, Busch, Coors, Michelob, Miller Lite, Sam Adams, Samuel Smith, Peak Organic and Sierra Nevada.
One would expect the organic wines and beers, and the carefully crafted independent beer brands to be free of glyphosate, as the herbicides are not allowed or used in organic farming. Instead, it appears that they are contaminated. Previous testing did show that some organic wines were contaminated, and in this round, one of the organic brands was as low as 0.38 ppb, but conventional wines had glyphosate residues 61 times higher, at 23.30 ppb
