It's been theorized that a lot of people who are gluten intolerant are actually reacting to Glyphosate.

The US should ban the chemical for being used on plants. Many other countries already have.

This is the same chemical that was advertised as "safer than table salt" and "practically nontoxic" in earlier Roundup marketing campaigns.

If you've ever used it even for killing weeds in your yard, you surely know that this stuff kills almost anything in its path. It's not something you want on your body, let alone inside of it.

Oats are of particular concern. In the US, they often spray Roundup on oats to prepare the oats for harvest. This kills the oats and gets them dry enough for the equipment. Farmers often don't own the harvesting equipment, so there crops must be ready when the equipment is.

Organic oats should not have glyphosate, but most brands are not tested for it.

I know from my own experience, if I eat something like Quaker oatmeal, I will get problems with my gut, but if I eat oats that are certified glyphosate free, I have no problems.

Why were "round-up resistant GMO crop plants" created?

Because the intent was to allow heavy use of glyphosate to wipe out weeds under the assumption that glyphosate is 100% harmless to humans so eating such a crop plant with so much glyphosate wouldn't matter.

That happens to be wrong but that was the assumption of many GMO plants. And why glyphosate is showing up in urine!

Well it's certainly not a good time for Bayer. Just yesterday, a court in Georgia revived a cancer case regarding Roundup [https://www.reuters.com/world/us/us-appeals-court-revives-ro...].
