Dr. McDougall's Online Discussion Board

Hi Jeff,
Just saw a report on the morning news about Monsanto's glyphosate, a known carcinogen, in oats, including Quaker oats. I've been eating Quaker old-fashioned oats each morning for breakfast and am now worried about what I've been ingesting. I will either stop eating oats (although Dr. Esselstyn recommends them) or go organic. Am I over reacting?
What do you recommend? Thanks!

1) Let's not over-react to any breaking news.

2) While the EWG does some good, their methodology and analysis on the Dirty Dozen and the Clean 15 is flawed. The same with their report on Sunscreen.

3) if you are terrified, then just switch to organic.

Thank you, Jeff. I switched to some organic rolled oats.
Sorry, but what is EWG?

The Environmental Working Group, who put out the info.
