Thanks diving in deep on this, it's dangerous the amount of chemical exposure we are subjected to in general but to have check out food for this, is outrageous !
Thanks for sharing. My doctor said there is good science on both sides of the Oats question- to eat or not eat oats. (Obviously without the chemicals.) After 7 years of eating Oats (organic) 6 days per week to address health needs, there was no improvement. He asked me to consider stopping. My health improved very quickly and my cholesterol levels started dropping for the first time in a decade. Such an interesting food. I now leave Oats for the horses.
There is literally nothing in our environment without chemicals. Doctors are not, at any point, trained in nutrition. They have opinions, just like us, but most of their information comes from the same tainted sources we have. Science paid for by the industries creating the problems. We have been fed so many lies over the years that we are completely out of touch with what is right in front of us. Health is declining, globally. Cancer is rampant, even in children. We are not reproducing enough to replace ourselves, globally. You say your health improved. What does that mean? Did you feel better? Sleep better? Did you have more energy or did a bunch of “tests” say you are better.
What they actually do with government agencies is hire their employees with very attractive salaries. So if you work for an agency, your most profitable career path is to go to work for one of the companies you are responsible for regulating. And you're not going to get that job if you regulate that company very strictly.

Even farmers that try to maintain organic controls are subjected to 'overspray' by their non-organic neighbors. These chemicals float on the wind and seep into the water.
Last i knew the US didnt allow that to be sprayed however Quaker gets most of their oats from Canada which DOES allow the chemical. So while Quaker is Not GMO it is filled with all sorts of chemicals. I only buy organic oats now
A simple search will show you hundreds of EPA and FDA regulations Trump administration rolled back were much were aimed at protecting us. Here are a few: -Doubled the time allowed for utilities to remove lead pipesfrom water systems with high levels of lead. -Revoked a rule that prevented coal companies from dumping mining debris into local streams. -Withdrew a proposed rule aimed at reducing pollutants, including air pollution, at sewage treatment plants. -Weakened a portion of the Clean Water Act to make it easier for federal agencies to issue permits for federal projects over state objections if the projects don’t meet local water quality standards, including for pipelines and other fossil fuel facilities. -Relaxed air pollution regulations for a handful of plants that burn waste coal for electricity. -Weakened an Obama-era rule meant to reduce air pollution in national parks and wilderness areas. -Withdrew a Clinton-era rule designed to limit toxic emissions from major industrial polluters, and later proposed codifying the looser standards. -Withdrew the legal justification for an Obama-era rule that limited mercury emissions from coal power plants. -Formally withdrew the United States from the Paris climate agreement, an international plan to avert catastrophic climate change adopted by nearly 200 counties. -Changed the way cost-benefit analyses are conducted under the Clean Air Act, potentially making it harder to issue new public health and climate protections. -Canceled a requirement for oil and gas companies to report methane emissions. -Revised and partially repealed an Obama-era rule limiting methane emissions on public lands, including intentional venting and flaring from drilling operations.

Thank you for sharing this. I was just searching the specs for Khorasan grain on Pleasant Hill Grain and the county of origin was from Canada. I thought I would share this.
I love that you’re covering the chemicals in grains cause they can be many and not even labeled. I always recommend buying grains, beans, coffee, and tea organic and grind them yourself.
I'm concerned by this comment, because a majority of Americans will not have the budgets to buy overpriced organic food. We need standards with agencies and politicians that are not corporate captured.
Makes you wonder if the premium we pay for organic with the USDA certified logo on it is even free of any potentially harmful chemicals... We all know the main reason organic carries a premium is because the yields are lower when they don't use herbicides, pesticides and fertilizers.
Roundup - all the farmers use it. All those beautiful fields of corn you see.... they're covered in Round-up. And that came straight from the Amish guys mouth that I talked to. They won't use it on their own personal gardens but they use it on what they sell. I was told by Amish, "who wants to buy ugly fruit and vegetables?".
Corporate capture of our agencies and politicians are a plague to this nation, thank you for the heads up. I buy my grains from Azure standard organic most times. I quickly checked to make sure that I had bought organic oats which I had. This is very troubling to me to think of all the people in this country whose budgets will not allow them to buy organic.
I have my doubts about Azure being able to maintain organic. The local government was imposing quite a few things on them last I heard, then nothing. After the fire a lot of things were not rebuilt and they started sinking resources into vehicles to supply cities instead. I kept getting rotten produce so I stopped buying since it was a ton of work to unload the truck.
Loving that you're sharing this knowledge, thank you!! I shudder when I think back to my pregnancy with my son in 2020 and my diet then. I had no idea what was healthy. I ate glyphosate ridden oatmeal almost every morning and then also wondered why I was nearly passing out. I didn't know about quality of food, or protein, carbs and fat and how they impact our bodies. You're helping educate people and that's amazing! ❤
Thank you. I have often wondered when organic is worth it, as it's hard to decipher when it matters vs. just marketing. But in this case I am glad I'm buying organic oats. Thanks for bringing this to my attention. There is so much nutritional news it is difficult to sift through and it's really helpful to have the important things brought to our attention!
Definitely learning something new today. Want to make sure that the source I use for my oats and oat groats are safe. Azure Standard is my go-to. They do use some Canadian grains. I will check with them. Thanks for your video!!
The last couple years each time I eat oats I am crippled the next day from horrid arthritis pain. Not worth it. I don’t eat them anymore. Even organic scares me. I guess I already knew this from listening to my body.
Sorry, meat has toxins, too. The answer isn't to cut out an entire food group. But we should be selective and eat quality whole foods the way God intended.
I read a report that stated it IS banned in the US but used in foreign countries and it's the imported oats that have this chemical and the US allows the oats to be imported.
I live in a rural area. A lot of farm land is being sold to build track houses. The land that is in use for farming is all round up ready corn or soybeans. A lot of the corn is grown for ethanol. The rest is likely for animal feed or processed foods. I do not see any big farms growing actual food for people to eat. One little grocery store that’s been around for decades used to have labels on the meat telling exactly where the animals were raised and butchered. When Obama admin. relaxed labeling the label began to read simply “product of the USA.” Which we later learned could just mean it was packaged in the USA. The animal could be raised and butchered anywhere in the world.
Thank you, Felicia for educating us. I first dont want to support big box stores any more than i have to. I dont want their agenda pushed on me. With that said i have an ingredient house. So if u want cornbread, i grind my non gmo organic corn & wheat berries, & i make my cashew milk with farm fresh eggs. All my dry ingredients come from Azure. I support their values & standards.
A lot of pesticides are used with oats which is why I’d never choose to eat non organic oatmeal. People shouldn’t poo poo organic just because it’s more expensive.
I buy my oats, grains and flour from healthy traditions online. They import from Europe mostly and 3rd party test for round up ready, almost all US grains, even organic tested positive for round up ready. Italy especially bans many of the pesticides and chemicals we use liberally, sadly, here in the USA.
I buy my 100 percent whole grain oatmeal at HEB and it’s very nutritious and safe to eat. I add some cinnamon spice to eat and it will not spike sugar levels.
Winco in my area sells oat groats in their bulk section. But that makes it hard to determine its source. I’ll have to look into that. Thanks for the info!
no grain, no pain, maybe a bit of rice if the curry is very spicy! US med lit says celiac can have oats, Australia med lit says no. Interesting to know of the chem now. Good info, thx.
I do know in the U.S. when it comes to oats, if you have celiacs you're suppose to only buy the "gluten-free oats" because it means the oats were not processed with gluten-grains. Otherwise, oats can be processed in gluten-grain facilities. Hope that makes sense :-)
@@GrainsandGrit I avoid oats, But interesting seems all the foods have something. I can have rice based cake mixes I eat well, but steak and veg are the best choice.
The regular oatmeal that I eat every day from HEB is safe from harmful chemicals. I’ve had no problems with it. Thank Jesus! I add some cinnamon spice and cook the oatmeal really well. I’ve been eating this oatmeal for about 3 years now and I feel good.
Oats have almost as much protein as eggs. They're a great option for people with blood sugar issues. But my husband likes peanut butter toast with his for the added fats.
Peanut butter has mold in it. Valencia has less but expensive. i grew up on milk and P and B sandwiches but....in the 50s. I had arthritis till I quit all grains and now at 72 feel fantastic again.
Our food supply is horrifying. Gmo sweet corn actually produces its own roundup. Micro particles are not regulated, there is microscopic metal in our food. And now this! Been eating oats for decades. Switching to organic.
RFK JR has been talking about our food supply and all the chemicals we’re exposed to and what needs to be done to stop it. But apparently people would rather have Kamala and Trump.
The problem with buying organic foods in the grocery store is the price. I do buy it when I can. The problem with buying bulk and organic, is absolutely the price and the convenience of getting it. The average household cannot buy the foods they consume in bulk and grocery stores do not even offer most of what they sell as organic. Grocery store companies also know that most households cannot afford organic. I make our bread at home but it is still not organic. The problem is that all food and food products should be organic. We should not have anything in our food except food.
Totally agree that food should just be food. As far as buying organic, I am not 100% organic but there are certain things I choose to buy organic. My grains are one of them OR I make sure if it’s conventional, they’re from a trusted source. Many times I find that organic grains aren’t that much more than conventional especially when buying in bulk 😀
@@teresawebster3498 I grow a vegetable and fruit garden and it saves me money to buy organic bulk foods, than that saves me money to buy organic grass fed pasture raised dairy and meats. You have to work through a personal system that works for you to eat clean, it takes a little time but you definitely get there sooner than you think. I had to save to buy my grain mill those things are not cheap but you just tackle one thing at a time. We don't have a lot of money but I look for the most affordable prices. Now our food is the cheapest I've ever paid and completely clean. God is so good. You just have to trust Him and be determined. I promise you will love it. ♥
I've heard about it, but it's difficult to keep track of all the chemicals they add to our foods. I suppose it would be best to just buy organic and and just bite the bullet on the price to avoid harmful chemicals.
I agree. I don’t buy organic everything, but I do like to try to buy organic with items I use THE MOST. in my case, we go through a lot of oats so it is a higher priority for me than for someone who may only consume oats 1-4 times/month
In this world we all should only buy organic foods and products for our bodies. Prices are prices there’s not much you can do….look for sales , coupons, buy less snacks, don’t eat Out at restaurants to save money try to cut back in other ways. Cook from scratch is a big saver, drink water, put lemon in it or lime. Herbal organic teas.make large bottles of herbal iced teas. Buy cheaper cuts of meats but of course grass fed or organic. There’s ways to save also there’s PRIME
I knew of this because of Annette Reeder. Threw all my oatmeal away and but my oats from the Bread Breaker co-op. I haven't finished listening to your so I might have to change my mind on that one as well, but I don't believe Sue would allow the sale of anything bad from her shop.
I would just ask. I think Bread Beckers usually gets their grains from US farmers so if that’s the case, you’ll be fine, at least for now. Just ask where they source it from 😀 and I love Annette Reeder! When I saw her video I knew I had to look into this myself!!
@@GrainsandGrit it was organic that I got from Bread Becker's so it is good. I thank you rolls are the best ever. Enjoy UA-cam very much I am so grateful there are people like you and Annette Reeder along with the bread Becker's to teach us. Love it when God comes first in the lives of my go to youtubers.
I’ve known this for years because I’m a canary. Everything affects me first before anyone else. My belated father in law ate Cheerios everyday and died of Parkinson’s. We have to care about our cells. If our cells aren’t healthy then we’re putting our bodies to the test and it’s highly likely we will become diseased.
Me too! Did you notice that old fashion oats takes forever to cook. Yet when you flake your own oats and cook, it cooks faster. I was really surprise by it. And to me that showed chemicals have been added. For me i switched to oats groats from the teachings of Sue Becker as once grain is cracked, it deoxidizes. So I asked myself, oatmeal are cracked so all along I have been eating chaff? 😮very sad.
Stopped buying Quaker Oats products because of the Round-Up pesticides. Sad because I LOVE Cheerios! 😢. What about Bob’s Red Mill organic oats? That’s about all I can find locally for organic oats and also I switched to Cascadian Farms cereal. Any info on those?? Thank you.
Haven't seen any Bob's organic oats ! I look every time I shop ! Only one store brand bread products are safe to eat That's Wegmans organic bread. We get that local It will actually get mold after a couple days. The other stuff lasts indefinitely! I'm cooking from scratch at home! Haven't gone out to eat in 2+ years! It's all mystery food ! I grew up on organic farms and nothing in stores tastes right ! I checked a can of Campbell's soup at Aldiba couple months ago The small print said benzene ! 😮 I'm a senior and I almost dropped the can ! That's toxic and carcinogenic! Why put it in soup? Next time I went I checked again; not a mention of benzene ! They are no longer required to list all ingredients! Wish I'd bought it just to prove it ! Don't even get me started on seed oils ! I'm making everything from scratch ! 🎉
Very frustrating as a Canadian. I will say though, that we do have power as consumers. At least here in Canada, it’s much less common to use glyphosate to desiccate oats now, because consumers complained about it and asked for glyphosate free oats.
Oats are not toxic, the chemicals they spray on it is toxic. I haven’t purchased non-organic oats in many years. Same goes for wheat. Same goes for most grains that are sprayed heavily in America.
Ex-government employee here. So (1) why do our government agencies allow these dangerous chemicals to be used in our food supply and (2) what can we do about this? (2) There is hope to reform our food supply: Vote every level of election AND in between voting, communicate to your elected representatives to oppose the use of these dangerous chemicals in our food supply. Communication is key. 50-70% of Americans do not vote -- that means, the corrupt and ignorant among our officials --- can rely on keeping in power because most Americans don't vote, don't communicate. Imagine how much better our government could be -- if most Americans actually voted and got engaged with our government. For any officials taking money from companies over American voters -- go vote for their rival and send a powerful, ethical message. Absolutely within our ability to do so as Americans; (1) Thanks to so few Americans voting, companies can successfully lobby our elected officials AND -- they violate laws and rules in place that put firewalls in to safeguard government. There is a rule that requires 1 year break between when someone leaves their company to work in the government agency office that overseas programs that person's company is engaged in. This used to be 3 year break -- the Cheney administration changed this and every administration since, both parties, failed to fix this. 1) Restore the 3 year break, 2) Or enforce the 1 year break, which is routinely violated. 3) Demand heads of departments and political appointees: not hail from corporations that do business with said government agency and limit political appointees from corporations in being appointed in any agency (no HR or other office dares challenge policies of political appointees, they are too afraid). Limit the contracting out of government jobs -- it's a fantastic way to easily bring in ex corporate employees from these companies AND their relatives into government jobs where they can WRITE the very policies that harm the average American but maximize the profits for their company. This is why we are subjected to harmful products and our families, ourselves, our country gets undermined. Do your research and vote your heart.
A friend used to joke about the constantly changing nutritional guidelines - Jerry said one day, the headline will be, *"Oat Bran, The Silent Killer."*
I did not know about this chemical much less that Canada allows it on food. I just crack my organic groats in the grain mil and make Irish style oat meal. Maybe one day I’ll get a flaker. Not sure if I am missing out on anything or not.
As someone increasing their fiber and whole grain intake... would mind repeating the parts again about "No Human Studies have ever been done "..and then say again "its been shown to mess with our metabolism" I know comments boost channel algorithms but don't care...this was so edited and contradictory i felt bad for even the lady who 'felt' better after stopping a 6 day a week oatmeal gorging diet.
its really easy to grow oats with other normal veggies in your beds. i have it all over with everything. i eat them in their milk stage but get a lot of seeds every year for planting the following year. i started by using them for cover crop first. also, the change you are talking about was made because of president trump. if you look closer, you will find he also lowered most other pollution standards in air and water as well as other chemicals like pfas. that is what you get when you put a chemical industry person in charge of epa.
I find it interesting that people go to their doctors for nutrition advice. Doctors are trained petro-pharma sales people. They're not adequately trained in nutrition.
@@GrainsandGrit exactly. i, for example, was not supposed to live past the 80's according to all the doctors in europe and usa. had i continued to live as i did, they would have been proven right. that is when i studied and changed my diet and how i lived my life 🙂
If this was allowed on ornamentals it was getting in the water and soil and thus in us. We only know what is in our water and in us when it’s specifically tested for. Water testing for example, our drinking water, does not undergo full spectrum testing. So if we were to test our soil and water as it should be done we would likely be shocked, though based on declining health, especially among children, should we really be shocked? Unfortunately, human nature is very much out of sight out of mind. We feel safe because we don’t know. Most everything in the grocery store, in our environment, is poisoned and has been for many years. If you live in California, as one example, there’s tons of DDT, in rotting barrels right off of the coast that has been there for decades. Since the Industrial Revolution we have been living in a chemical soup, before that poop was the issue. Such are the issues of fallen humanity. Greed ruins everything. 😢Thankfully at some point Father will restore creation to what He originally intended. Until then all we can do is our best. Grow what we can, avoid big ag and highly refined products and pharmaceuticals, try to find local sources/local farms that do not use pesticides, purify our water as best we can. Buy food locally in the most natural state we can find it. Trust God, not human beings, especially those the ones with power and vast resources. Human beings get love not trust.
The EWG never publishes their work in quality peer reviewed journals, and this is for good reason. Note that the lower limit of quantification is 100 parts per billion. So, values below this number mean little. What is the sampling technique? How was the instrumentation calibrated? I assume LC/MS was used for quantification, was an internal standard used to account for matrix effects? At the PPB level, I would consider +/- 500 PPB variability to be common. Also, we need to be careful with small numbers. They sound scary and people with an agenda know it. I’m actually waiting for reports that my cereal contains 200,000 parts per trillion of neurotoxic arsenic oxide. Does anyone know how many molecules of arsenic that is! In all honesty, it’s true that if everyone grew their own grains, we might be healthier, but with a planet of 13 billion people how is this possible? Crop desiccation is not just a convenience for greedy farmers and chemical companies it’s critical for the timely harvest of grains using mechanized equipment.
Wow! 🤯
The big companies & govt agencies never stop……..
Thank you for sharing Felicia. 🙏
No, they never do!! This is why we have to take our health into our own hands and never rely on the powers-that-be to take care of us.
😂But can you trust these companies to be truthful about if their products are truly organic? When money is concerned, I don't trust any of them!
I don't know why I'm still surprised anymore! The more I find out the ingredients in our foods, the more my eyes are opened! Thank you for sharing!
Thanks diving in deep on this, it's dangerous the amount of chemical exposure we are subjected to in general but to have check out food for this, is outrageous !

They import from Europe mostly and 3rd party test for round up ready, almost all US grains, even organic tested positive for round up ready. Italy especially bans many of the pesticides and chemicals we use liberally, sadly, here in the USA.
:-(
Heard of this but so much detail and alternatives.
3 million federal employees what are they doing wasting tax payers money
If you ask voters it’s always about the economy. If that’s how you vote then this is what you get.
I buy my 100 percent whole grain oatmeal at HEB and it’s very nutritious and safe to eat. I add some cinnamon spice to eat and it will not spike sugar levels.
My family loves freshly milled oat meal. I buy whole organic oats and flake them, myself. Yum!
Very informative. We have to be so careful what we consume. 😳
RFK IS GOING AFTER BIG FOOD
I sure hope he makes some changes!
I eat organic steel cut oats mixed with chia seeds and frozen organic fruit 💪🏼😎
The first things I do before I eat Anything is pray 💪🏼😎
Winco in my area sells oat groats in their bulk section. But that makes it hard to determine its source. I’ll have to look into that. Thanks for the info!
If it has a label, it’ll probably be on it. You may also be able to find that info on their website. 😀
We stopped buying both Quaker and Bob Mills because we read something similar. We only buy One Degree Gluten Free Sprouted Rolled Oats now.
Thats the brand we buy from too.
First time viewing your UA-cam; EXCELLENT! THANK YOU!
Awesome, welcome to the party!
I will not be buying my oats from quaker.
Same. I typically would buy store-brand anyway unless there was a sale, but now I will DEFINITELY stay away.
And you think Quaker is safe? Better check who makes it! And is organic safe or is that another lie from the democrats and the WEF?
no grain, no pain, maybe a bit of rice if the curry is very spicy! US med lit says celiac can have oats, Australia med lit says no. Interesting to know of the chem now. Good info, thx.
I do know in the U.S. when it comes to oats, if you have celiacs you're suppose to only buy the "gluten-free oats" because it means the oats were not processed with gluten-grains. Otherwise, oats can be processed in gluten-grain facilities. Hope that makes sense :-)
@@GrainsandGrit I avoid oats, But interesting seems all the foods have something. I can have rice based cake mixes I eat well, but steak and veg are the best choice.
The regular oatmeal that I eat every day from HEB is safe from harmful chemicals. I’ve had no problems with it. Thank Jesus! I add some cinnamon spice and cook the oatmeal really well. I’ve been eating this oatmeal for about 3 years now and I feel good.
Thank you for this video! My husband eats oats several times a week.
He must be feeling awful
We do, too.
I purchase organic rolled oats from Azure but I have purchased granola bars and Quaker. I think" they" are trying to kill us...
Oh no doubt. My tin foil hat is on very tight! 😂
Thanks for bringing this up. I did not know. I’m throwing the rest of my oats out-too freaked out.
Can’t touch it raises my blood sugar through the roof. Oat breakfasts are a no no
Gotta go the egg route
Oats have almost as much protein as eggs. They're a great option for people with blood sugar issues. But my husband likes peanut butter toast with his for the added fats.
Peanut butter has mold in it. Valencia has less but expensive. i grew up on milk and P and B sandwiches but....in the 50s. I had arthritis till I quit all grains and now at 72 feel fantastic again.
Our food supply is horrifying. Gmo sweet corn actually produces its own roundup. Micro particles are not regulated, there is microscopic metal in our food. And now this! Been eating oats for decades. Switching to organic.
I just received a 25 lb bag of oats from Azure Standard last week, so I am relieved to hear those are considered safe.
RFK JR has been talking about our food supply and all the chemicals we’re exposed to and what needs to be done to stop it. But apparently people would rather have Kamala and Trump.
Well, he is now with Trump and he will be participating in that area if Trump wins so that’s something
None of those highly processed and sugar filled products should be consumed anyway.
The problem with buying organic foods in the grocery store is the price. I do buy it when I can. The problem with buying bulk and organic, is absolutely the price and the convenience of getting it. The average household cannot buy the foods they consume in bulk and grocery stores do not even offer most of what they sell as organic. Grocery store companies also know that most households cannot afford organic. I make our bread at home but it is still not organic. The problem is that all food and food products should be organic. We should not have anything in our food except food.
Totally agree that food should just be food. As far as buying organic, I am not 100% organic but there are certain things I choose to buy organic. My grains are one of them OR I make sure if it’s conventional, they’re from a trusted source. Many times I find that organic grains aren’t that much more than conventional especially when buying in bulk 😀
@@teresawebster3498 I grow a vegetable and fruit garden and it saves me money to buy organic bulk foods, than that saves me money to buy organic grass fed pasture raised dairy and meats.
You have to work through a personal system that works for you to eat clean, it takes a little time but you definitely get there sooner than you think. I had to save to buy my grain mill those things are not cheap but you just tackle one thing at a time. We don't have a lot of money but I look for the most affordable prices. Now our food is the cheapest I've ever paid and completely clean. God is so good. You just have to trust Him and be determined. I promise you will love it. ♥
We have Grocery Outlet stores here in Northern Ca. And their prices are real low. Huge organic selection.
@@garyssimo we have them here in socal and that's where I get my organic grass fed pasture raised beef. Great price.
I've heard about it, but it's difficult to keep track of all the chemicals they add to our foods. I suppose it would be best to just buy organic and and just bite the bullet on the price to avoid harmful chemicals.
I agree. I don’t buy organic everything, but I do like to try to buy organic with items I use THE MOST. in my case, we go through a lot of oats so it is a higher priority for me than for someone who may only consume oats 1-4 times/month
In this world we all should only buy organic foods and products for our bodies. Prices are prices there’s not much you can do….look for sales , coupons, buy less snacks, don’t eat Out at restaurants to save money try to cut back in other ways. Cook from scratch is a big saver, drink water, put lemon in it or lime. Herbal organic teas.make large bottles of herbal iced teas. Buy cheaper cuts of meats but of course grass fed or organic. There’s ways to save also there’s PRIME
I knew of this because of Annette Reeder. Threw all my oatmeal away and but my oats from the Bread Breaker co-op. I haven't finished listening to your so I might have to change my mind on that one as well, but I don't believe Sue would allow the sale of anything bad from her shop.
I would just ask. I think Bread Beckers usually gets their grains from US farmers so if that’s the case, you’ll be fine, at least for now. Just ask where they source it from 😀 and I love Annette Reeder! When I saw her video I knew I had to look into this myself!!
@@GrainsandGrit it was organic that I got from Bread Becker's so it is good. I thank you rolls are the best ever. Enjoy UA-cam very much I am so grateful there are people like you and Annette Reeder along with the bread Becker's to teach us. Love it when God comes first in the lives of my go to youtubers.
I’ve known this for years because I’m a canary. Everything affects me first before anyone else. My belated father in law ate Cheerios everyday and died of Parkinson’s. We have to care about our cells. If our cells aren’t healthy then we’re putting our bodies to the test and it’s highly likely we will become diseased.
Oh wow, yes, it's so important to keep an eye out for these little changes they slip in.
A friend eats cheerios every day and at 65 is getting slow minded His wife is an MD......
She has wet macular degen. Yikes and shes a long time vegan.
It’s all population control. All of it. I remember the big recent push to eat oats for health and to lower cholesterol.
Oats are AMAZING for your health - but you gotta know where you're getting them from. I buy organic and flake them, myself.

I’m fixing to buy bulk organic oat groats and a grain roller over here. Geez!
Yes, do it!!
@@GrainsandGrit but in the meantime, are organic rolled oats safe?
I got a flaker and buy organic oat groats its fun to do
Yes!!
I have one, too! The oats also taste so much better. I never could stand oats until I got the flaker. It's a must tool for me.
Me too! Did you notice that old fashion oats takes forever to cook. Yet when you flake your own oats and cook, it cooks faster. I was really surprise by it. And to me that showed chemicals have been added. For me i switched to oats groats from the teachings of Sue Becker as once grain is cracked, it deoxidizes. So I asked myself, oatmeal are cracked so all along I have been eating chaff? 😮very sad.
This blows me away. I use lots of oats
Cotton defoliant has been proven to cause 40 to 70 % increase in respiratory illnesses in areas where applied.

I never imagined growing up our own government would be the enemy of the people because of money
Stopped buying Quaker Oats products because of the Round-Up pesticides. Sad because I LOVE Cheerios! 😢. What about Bob’s Red Mill organic oats? That’s about all I can find locally for organic oats and also I switched to Cascadian Farms cereal. Any info on those?? Thank you.
If it’s organic, you’re good. It cannot have chlormequat and be labeled organic 😀
Haven't seen any Bob's organic oats ! I look every time I shop ! Only one store brand bread products are safe to eat That's Wegmans organic bread. We get that local It will actually get mold after a couple days. The other stuff lasts indefinitely! I'm cooking from scratch at home! Haven't gone out to eat in 2+ years! It's all mystery food ! I grew up on organic farms and nothing in stores tastes right ! I checked a can of Campbell's soup at Aldiba couple months ago The small print said benzene ! 😮 I'm a senior and I almost dropped the can ! That's toxic and carcinogenic! Why put it in soup? Next time I went I checked again; not a mention of benzene ! They are no longer required to list all ingredients! Wish I'd bought it just to prove it ! Don't even get me started on seed oils ! I'm making everything from scratch ! 🎉
I'm glad you actually told the truth about Trump's atrocity of allowing this poison in our food.
I'm impartial. I just report the facts I find.
I am encouraged that Trump has recognized RFK Jr as a man who can clean up our food supply! 🙏🏼🇺🇸
Very frustrating as a Canadian. I will say though, that we do have power as consumers. At least here in Canada, it’s much less common to use glyphosate to desiccate oats now, because consumers complained about it and asked for glyphosate free oats.
Yes I do know Canada has had a change concerning glyphosate and now y’all need to ban together against chlormequat! 😀
Oats are not toxic, the chemicals they spray on it is toxic. I haven’t purchased non-organic oats in many years. Same goes for wheat. Same goes for most grains that are sprayed heavily in America.
But, can we trust that those items are REALLY organic?
Thank you for sharing this.
My pleasure!
Ex-government employee here. So (1) why do our government agencies allow these dangerous chemicals to be used in our food supply and (2) what can we do about this?
(2) There is hope to reform our food supply: Vote every level of election AND in between voting, communicate to your elected representatives to oppose the use of these dangerous chemicals in our food supply. Communication is key. 50-70% of Americans do not vote -- that means, the corrupt and ignorant among our officials --- can rely on keeping in power because most Americans don't vote, don't communicate. Imagine how much better our government could be -- if most Americans actually voted and got engaged with our government. For any officials taking money from companies over American voters -- go vote for their rival and send a powerful, ethical message. Absolutely within our ability to do so as Americans;
(1) Thanks to so few Americans voting, companies can successfully lobby our elected officials AND -- they violate laws and rules in place that put firewalls in to safeguard government. There is a rule that requires 1 year break between when someone leaves their company to work in the government agency office that overseas programs that person's company is engaged in. This used to be 3 year break -- the Cheney administration changed this and every administration since, both parties, failed to fix this. 1) Restore the 3 year break, 2) Or enforce the 1 year break, which is routinely violated. 3) Demand heads of departments and political appointees: not hail from corporations that do business with said government agency and limit political appointees from corporations in being appointed in any agency (no HR or other office dares challenge policies of political appointees, they are too afraid). Limit the contracting out of government jobs -- it's a fantastic way to easily bring in ex corporate employees from these companies AND their relatives into government jobs where they can WRITE the very policies that harm the average American but maximize the profits for their company.
This is why we are subjected to harmful products and our families, ourselves, our country gets undermined. Do your research and vote your heart.
I think we can also vote with our dollars and refuse to buy this garbage.
Being eating organic since the late 80s.
A friend used to joke about the constantly changing nutritional guidelines - Jerry said one day, the headline will be, *"Oat Bran, The Silent Killer."*
I buy organic oats from Azure Standard. You should see if they have a drop near you.
Yep, I've been ordering from Azure for over a decade. I have videos about them on my channel, too.
Oh man. I'm throwing out all my quaker oats stat. 😢
I know, right?!?!?
Paraquat is another chemical that is used in agriculture.
I only buy sprouted organic oats.
THANK YOU 🥰
I did not know about this chemical much less that Canada allows it on food.
I just crack my organic groats in the grain mil and make Irish style oat meal. Maybe one day I’ll get a flaker. Not sure if I am missing out on anything or not.
Nah what you’re doing is fine! A flaker just takes oat groats and turns them into your typical rolled oats 😀
Wow and wow, but not surprising.
I know 😞

We need RFK
I quit eating oats years ago, cause I felt sick after eating it.
I recommend trying organic oats and flaking them fresh. They're so good for you!
Well, I’m not worried about the reproductive issues. I’m 67 years old so those days have passed.
As someone increasing their fiber and whole grain intake... would mind repeating the parts again about "No Human Studies have ever been done "..and then say again "its been shown to mess with our metabolism"
I know comments boost channel algorithms but don't care...this was so edited and contradictory i felt bad for even the lady who 'felt' better after stopping a 6 day a week oatmeal gorging diet.
Healthy Traditions tests their products for a lot of these toxins. They often have great sales.
Get RFK in to end this insanity!
RFK, Jr is partnering with Trump and is telling all his supporters to vote Trump in so he’s able to fix the health care crisis in the U.S.
its really easy to grow oats with other normal veggies in your beds. i have it all over with everything. i eat them in their milk stage but get a lot of seeds every year for planting the following year. i started by using them for cover crop first. also, the change you are talking about was made because of president trump. if you look closer, you will find he also lowered most other pollution standards in air and water as well as other chemicals like pfas. that is what you get when you put a chemical industry person in charge of epa.
I find it interesting that people go to their doctors for nutrition advice. Doctors are trained petro-pharma sales people. They're not adequately trained in nutrition.
@@GrainsandGrit exactly. i, for example, was not supposed to live past the 80's according to all the doctors in europe and usa. had i continued to live as i did, they would have been proven right. that is when i studied and changed my diet and how i lived my life 🙂
MDs average 7 hours nutrition in med shools. I get that much every week.
Chemicals in our foods didn’t start with Trump this has been going on for a long while now. Cut the crap.
I in the past have sold oat's to Quaker and they were not sprayed.
Im sure they receive oats from all over the place. But because of that, they’re just throwing everyone’s together - sprayed or not.
I buy Farmers We Know Oats.....
people who call themselves farmers should not be allowed to use any chemicals or GMO plants in our food or grain fed to livestock ever.
I agree! We are what the animals we eat, eat.
I'm growing my own because I get muscle spasms from all the chemicals.
If this was allowed on ornamentals it was getting in the water and soil and thus in us. We only know what is in our water and in us when it’s specifically tested for. Water testing for example, our drinking water, does not undergo full spectrum testing. So if we were to test our soil and water as it should be done we would likely be shocked, though based on declining health, especially among children, should we really be shocked? Unfortunately, human nature is very much out of sight out of mind. We feel safe because we don’t know. Most everything in the grocery store, in our environment, is poisoned and has been for many years. If you live in California, as one example, there’s tons of DDT, in rotting barrels right off of the coast that has been there for decades. Since the Industrial Revolution we have been living in a chemical soup, before that poop was the issue. Such are the issues of fallen humanity. Greed ruins everything. 😢Thankfully at some point Father will restore creation to what He originally intended. Until then all we can do is our best. Grow what we can, avoid big ag and highly refined products and pharmaceuticals, try to find local sources/local farms that do not use pesticides, purify our water as best we can. Buy food locally in the most natural state we can find it. Trust God, not human beings, especially those the ones with power and vast resources. Human beings get love not trust.
Safe and effective
Lol
Costco sells a Farmers We Know brand oats. They are low processed Organic, and a tough chew.
Good to know, thanks!
Yeah, I’m not a fan. Sprouting changes the flavour and the texture. It’s not very pleasant.
I bought those at Costco when they carried them. They were fine, but I don’t eat oatmeal. I use them only in cookie dough.
Azure organic oats are grown in Canada…
Oh my food gremlins! This is beyond frustrating. I assume Azure organic oats are safe?
I think you just answered that. I panicked too quickly😂😎
Lol yes if it’s organic, no chlormequat was used 😀
The EWG never publishes their work in quality peer reviewed journals, and this is for good reason. Note that the lower limit of quantification is 100 parts per billion. So, values below this number mean little. What is the sampling technique? How was the instrumentation calibrated? I assume LC/MS was used for quantification, was an internal standard used to account for matrix effects? At the PPB level, I would consider +/- 500 PPB variability to be common. Also, we need to be careful with small numbers. They sound scary and people with an agenda know it. I’m actually waiting for reports that my cereal contains 200,000 parts per trillion of neurotoxic arsenic oxide. Does anyone know how many molecules of arsenic that is! In all honesty, it’s true that if everyone grew their own grains, we might be healthier, but with a planet of 13 billion people how is this possible? Crop desiccation is not just a convenience for greedy farmers and chemical companies it’s critical for the timely harvest of grains using mechanized equipment.
We don't need to spray our food with poison to avoid starving. Don't be silly.
