Are You Eating Glyphosate for Breakfast?
A look at how a toxic herbicide ended up in your oatmeal—and what to eat instead.
If you start your day with a bowl of oatmeal, granola, or a protein bar made with oats, you probably feel good about it. Oats are marketed as a healthy choice—high in fiber, good for cholesterol, gentle on the gut. And they are.
But there’s a dirty secret hiding in many oat-based products: glyphosate.
And yes—you might be eating it every morning.
What Is Glyphosate and Why Is It in Oats?
Glyphosate is the active ingredient in Roundup, the most widely used herbicide in the world. It’s sprayed not just on weeds, but directly on conventional oats as a pre-harvest drying agent. This practice helps farmers harvest faster—but it leaves chemical residue behind.
In 2018, the Environmental Working Group (EWG) tested 45 popular oat-based products. The results were startling:
- Glyphosate was detected in 43 of them.
- Nearly three-fourths exceeded what EWG considers safe for children.

And that wasn’t a one-time fluke. Follow-up studies in 2019 and 2022 confirmed it: glyphosate is showing up in our food supply, and oats are a major source.
What Does Glyphosate Do to Your Body?
Glyphosate has been linked to a number of concerning health effects, including:
- Disrupting the gut microbiome by killing beneficial bacteria source
- Suppressing immune function
- Interfering with liver detox pathways
- Potential cancer risk (classified as a "probable human carcinogen" by the WHO)
While regulatory agencies debate the long-term safety, many scientists argue that even trace exposure, over time, can compound and lead to chronic inflammation, weakened immunity, and hormonal disruption.
So... How Can You Avoid It?
The #1 way to minimize glyphosate in your diet is simple:
💡 Eat organic. Especially when it comes to oats.
Organic farming does not permit the use of glyphosate, and certified organic oats are tested to be free of pesticide residues.
