FDA has found residues of the weed killer glyphosate even in a food that is not produced with the use of glyphosate: honey.

All of the samples the FDA tested in a recent examination contained glyphosate residues, and some showed residue levels double the limit allowed in the European Union. There is no legal tolerance level for glyphosate in honey in the United States.

According to the FDA records, samples tested by an FDA chemist showed these residue levels:

 Carmichael’s Honey  Louisiana  107 ppb
 Leighton’s Orange  Blossom Honey Florida 22 ppm
 Sue Bee Honey Lowa 41 ppm

Sue Bee is marketed by a cooperative of American beekeepers as “pure, all-natural” and “America’s Honey.” Customers “can be assured that Sue Bee Honey is 100% pure, 100% all-natural and 100% American,” the Sioux Honey Association states.

The obvious recommendation is to choose organic honey, but I’m not sure it has less glyphosate. What is becoming more and more evident is that glyphosate is now widespread in the general environment, and not limited to GMO foods.

The good news is that honey has a tremendous amount of nutrients and inherent healing qualities. Of all foods, honey is the food most likely to have the ability to counteract the negative affects of glyphosate.

I would still choose organic honey.
