		<description>Wayne on February 7th, 2026 6:48 am:  Just to clarify, a “PESTICIDE”  is a broad based term used to describe: &quot;Pesticides are substances that are used to control pests. They include herbicides, insecticides, nematicides, fungicides, and many others.</description>

		<description>Food that&#039;s certified organic should be safe. The U.S. EPA set their standards too low. According to the most recent independent studies, even &quot;ultra-low&quot; levels may cause biological disruption:
•	Organ Damage: Research has demonstrated that chronic ingestion of ultra-low, &quot;environmentally relevant&quot; doses of glyphosate-based herbicides (e.g., 0.1 ppb) can cause liver and kidney damage in rats. Another study found that 700 ppb in water (the U.S. limit for drinking water) led to biochemical markers of stress in these organs.
•	Gut Microbiome Disruption: At levels approximating the U.S. Acceptable Daily Intake (ADI), glyphosate has been shown to alter gut microbiota composition in mice, increasing proinflammatory markers. It may also reduce Lactobacillus species, which play a role in serotonin production, potentially contributing to anxiety-like behaviors.
•	Endocrine Disruption: Glyphosate may act as an endocrine disruptor at very low concentrations (as low as 10⁻⁸ to 10⁻⁹ M), potentially promoting the growth of human mammary cells or disrupting testosterone and estradiol levels.</description>

		<description>I was buying Dave&#039;s Killer Bread because it was classified as ORGANIC. How can organic bread contain glyphosate?

Maybe it&#039;s time for a class action suit?</description>

		<description>Mikes killer bread is certified organic. its supposed to be made without pesticides or herbicides.  we need to find out where the glyphosate is coming from. Make Florida Healthy Again. MFHA</description>

		<description>All- No one is controlling you or telling you what to eat. They are informing you so you can make a decision based on data. You can choose to eat the bread or choose not to. That is what is expected in our capitalist and free decision society. You can choose, Florida is not controlling you, just educating you.  Thank you Florida for the information.</description>
