Are Your Efforts Working?

When we care to keep our bodies free of harmful chemicals, the purity of ingredients and foods we eat are critical. After using products that are tested for purity and held to the “Beyond Organic” standard for a couple of years, along with preferring organic foods, I decided to take a test to see just how my efforts paid off. I'm pleased to report that my glyphosate test results were very good! Much better than most of the United States.

Switching to Organic Diet Dramatically Lowers Glyphosate Levels in Adults and Children

If people switch to an all-organic diet, the levels of the most widely used weedkiller in the world swiftly and dramatically plummet in their bodies. [1]

Diet is a primary source of glyphosate exposure.
Organic diet reduced glyphosate and AMPA exposure in U.S. families.
The reduction was rapid, reaching baseline in three days.

Consuming Nutritional Products Tested for Purity is Critical

It is important to remember organic is a means of production; it is not a guarantee that the food is clean and free of chemical contaminants. Pesticides and herbicides—even when safely applied—can run off into unintended areas and farmland. You can read about it here: What is Beyond Organic

Glyphosate toxicity is clear in human cells

Studies have shown a clear association between glyphosate toxicity and damage to human cells. [2]

Take a Home Test

You can take a simple home urine test to determine your glyphosate levels by ordering this kit. Health Resources Institute (HRI) -Glyphosate Test.
