Being a person that has many food and drug allergies, I was appalled when I read this article. The link to the complete article is below the quote.
You’ve probably heard about the gluten-free diet. Those who have a
gluten allergy or sensitivity, and even those who avoid it just in case
have sworn off products containing gluten, including wheat. But some
evidence shows that it may not be gluten that Americans should be
worried about when it comes to wheat. The real culprit is far worse.
The
protocol for wheat harvesting in the United States is to drench the
wheat field with an herbicide called Roundup several days before the
harvesters work through the fields, as dead wheat plants are easier on
the farm equipment and allow for an earlier, easier and bigger harvest.
Roundup and other herbicides contain a deadly active ingredient to wheat
and barley known as glyphosate. It has been used pre-harvest from as
early as 1980, and has become a routine drying agent 7-10 days before
harvest.
