To explore how much Roundup the average person drinks, the U.S. PIRG tested 15 beers and 5 wines for glyphosate, the weedkillers active ingredient. Of the 20 samples tested, all but ONE contained glyphosate, and 3 out of 4 organic beers and wines contained glyphosate.
The testing results revealed the following. Glyphosate was measured in parts per billion (ppb). Also, keep in mind that while this list is not complete, it is reasonable to assume that almost all conventional wines contain some level of glyphosate.
Glyphosate in Wines
1. Sutter Home Merlot: 51.4 ppb
2. Beringer Founders Estates Moscato: 42.6 ppb
3. Barefoot Cabernet Sauvignon: 36.3 ppb
4. Inkarri Malbec: Certified Organic: 5.3 ppb
5. Frey Organic Natural White: 4.8 ppb
Glyphosate in Beer
1. Tsingtao Beer: 49.7 ppb
2. Coors Light: 31.1 ppb
3. Miller Lite: 29.8 ppb
4. Budweiser: 27 ppb
5. Corona Extra: 25.1 ppb
6. Heineken: 20.9 ppb
7. Guinness Draught: 20.3 ppb
8. Stella Artois: 18.7 ppb
9. Ace Perry Hard Cider: 14.5 ppb
10. Sierra Nevada Pale Ale: 11.8 ppb
11. New Belgium Fat Tire Amber Ale: 11.2 ppb
12. Sam Adams New England IPA: 11 ppb
13. Stella Artois Cidre: 9.1 ppb
14. Samuel Smiths Organic Lager: 5.7 ppb
15. Peak Beer Organic IPA: no detected level

Unless you believe water has memory, this is an insignificant number.

(2,953 posts)My wine is 14% ethanol. That's 140,000,000 ppb.
You cannot tell me that is insignificant!

(6,568 posts)The alcohol is much more dangerous than the glyphosate.

I'm going to guess that the micro-brews I drink have little or no round-up.

(22,114 posts)wines and/or beer? I know that some of these undergo filtering so I am wondering why didn't the filtering take out, or is this an acceptable level?
Dr Hobbitstein
(6,568 posts)These are WAY less, almost imperceptible.
