Popular Cereal Sold In Michigan May Cause Cancer

Often times we overlook some of the things that we decide to put into our bodies. More specifically, when we are choosing meal options, we may choose to eat something that isn't the best for us. There is a ton of information available on the packaging of our food products, along with online, for us to know what our food is made of and where it comes from. Sometimes we find out that the food we have been eating for years actually contains something dangerous for us.

A pesticide highly used for crop cultivation that has major links to cancer, as well as, developmental and reproductive issues, and found that the pesticide was detectable 80% of the time in the human consumer. The pesticide in question is called chlormequat chloride, and is used to regulate the stem height in grain, so that the crop stands upright, and is not as likely to bend over and make it more difficult to harvest.

That would be Cheerios owned by General Mills. Also showing high amounts of the pesticide are Quaker Oats products owned by PepsiCo. This pesticide is not used in American crops, but comes from imports from Europe and around the world according to this Syracuse article.

If you have been eating Cheerios for a long time, if you have recently eaten Cheerios, know someone who has had Cheerios, or have fed Cheerios to someone sometime soon than you or that person should get checked out.
