Controversial herbicide used in weed killer Roundup is detected in several leading beer and wine brands including Coors Light, Budweiser and Beringer

Traces of a controversial weed killer have been detected in a number of the world's leading beer and wine brands, a new report claims.

In a study by public-interest advocacy group US PIRG that tested five wines and 15 beers, including organic ones, the chemical glyphosate was found in all but one of the beverages sampled.

Glyphosate - the most common herbicide in the world and an ingredient in the weed killer Roundup - is a probable human carcinogen, according to the International Agency for Research on Cancer, part of the World Health Organization.

Apparently a lot of the contamination is caused by Round Up actually being present in the rain. That to me is kind of scary.

This did not surprise me when I saw this on the news. The beer is just the beginning. Most everything else you had for lunch today probably had something bad in it.

If commercial farmers use many tons of weed killer on virtually every type of crop, I can't see how anyone could be surprised that there are trace amounts of that weed killer on the foods we eat and drink. How could things be otherwise? I guess the real question is how much is in our foods, and how much danger does it pose …

Wondering what the scale on this chart is - 49.7 "whats" - milliliters, picolitres, microliters ... parts per billion of … might be best is if we gradually get exposed so we can mutate over the generations to thrive on such chemicals

I'm sure the alcohol in beer is a far greater danger to health than trace quantities of round-up. And if it's in beer, how much of it is bread and in everything else that is grain based?

Not to hijack this post but with more states legalizing marijuana, and craft brewers such as Blue Moon starting to infuse beer with THC, by next year the topic will be nothing like a little "Killer Weed" in your beer instead of "Weed Killer" in your beer!
