Do you use organically grown grains?
You may be unaware that most commercial wheat crops, and probably other grains, are sprayed with roundup several days before harvest as a dessicant to make them easier to harvest for the best possible yield. Although farmers do not grow GMO wheat, the grain still contains measurable amounts of glyphosate due to the harvesting methods used on the large wheat farms.
This is probably also why Cheerios were found to contain glyphosate, despite being made with oats.

I know this post went up two months ago, but I need to let you know that because of your comment and the discussions it gave me and my husband, we switched to using only organic grains for our baking. Thanks so much for sharing the information you did! You never know how it will change others' lives. :)
Oh goodness...whenever Andrew and I do research, we always end up crying out, "IS NOTHING SAFE??" This is why we started homesteading--so that we could eventually be independent of all the chemical-laced "food" that is currently being sold out there. I really appreciate you sharing this information--though we suspected that something as well-known as wheat couldn't possibly be 100% innocuous, I wasn't aware of the extent of the poison that could be mixed in there. We actually spent much of the morning researching where to get organic grains because of your message...so thanks! We'll see what we can do. Mostly, I just can't wait to finally grow our own, safe food someday soon.
