Has there been any progress made on making glyphosate testing more available and affordable?

(In particular, I'm wondering how to vet grains like wheat for glyphosate spraying just prior to harvest.)

My son won't eat school lunch after first day, he got food poisoning.

I have not been able to consume anything with wheat or oats since 1997 apart from when I lived in Spain and only purchased from our local village bakery.

In UK I had been incorrectly diagnosed as Coeliac, but when my doctor in Spain ran the correct tests she found that I am not Coeliac and suggested that I may be reacting to glyphosate.

Upon returning to live in UK I was intrigued to find out that my MEP had volunteered to be tested for glyphosate and despite being a very careful vegan she tested positive for glyphosate and was really unimpressed.

Nothing ever came of it though.....

That company, Monsanto (now Bayer), needs to be forced to withdraw their product from the market but there is no political will to challenge Big P-Harma.

Holy shit! I guess that's just a step away of counting the tomato sauce on pizza as a vegetable.

Almost every grain and product made from it is contaminated with glyphosate. If you can, purchase a grain mill, buy certified organic wheat berries, steel cut oats, brown rice, etc. and make your own flour for baking.

I'm surprised that 100% didn't test positive. Even eating organic doesn't guarantee you're free of glyphosate because it's everywhere but it gets you close. We eat 100% organic and when I tested myself several years ago, after eating 100% for at least 6 years, I still had some glyphosate in me (Could have been from prior to going 100% organic. That I don't know.). BTW, you can test on your own. You don't need a doctor. Here's an example I found quickly. https://mylabsforlife.com/lab-test/glyphosate/ If you can stop eating non-organic foods, you'll probably be fine even if you don't detox.

Amazing. This is what we actually need: anyone out there with business interest -- make instant DIY tests for a wide range of chemicals like this.
