The owners of the Quaker Oats Company reacted that the found chemicals in the oatmeal were not their fault but a result of the pesticides used by the farmers.

They pointed out that the levels of the glyphosate that can remain in the oats are significantly in low amount and below the limit and according to the E.P.A are safe for human consumption.

This chemical substance is an active ingredient in many pesticides such as Roundup, a famous one used for crops all around the world.

However, the health activists blame this pesticide for severe health problems.

This pesticide appeared on the market in 1974 and is used widely since then. According to the International Agency for research on Cancer, a branch of the World Health Organization, this substance belongs to the group of probable cause for cancer.

Not only this pesticide could cause cancer but also it can provoke various severe health issues.

Also studies have shown that the exposure of Roundup and Attention Deficit Disorder in farming can additionally provoke a disruption of the function of the thyroid gland.

The presence of glyphosate can disrupt the level of serotonin in the body, can affect mood, sleep, appetite as well as can make you feel depressed.

What is really surprising is that the oats pesticide and herbicide more than other grains so that’s why the products have such traces of pesticide inside them.
