Tag all the parents you know! Oreo Cookies are often tucked into school lunch boxes as a “treat”, but the truth about what’s really in them is alarming.

Tests done in 2016 found 289.47 ppb of glyphosate (Roundup w**d killer) in Oreos! This is likely because Oreos contain several ingredients made from GMO crops, which are engineered to be treated with Roundup. Roundup is strongly linked to cancer and Bayer is setting aside billions $$$ to settle cancer lawsuits.

One of the main ingredients in Oreos is high fructose corn syrup. This is one sweetener that I avoid at all costs. It is made from Roundup-Ready GMO cornstarch that contains more fructose than regular corn syrup. Studies have shown it increases appetite and the risk of weight gain, type 2 diabetes, heart disease, cancer and dementia. HFCS especially contributes to type 2 diabetes in children. One study also found it can be contaminated with toxic mercury.

Instead of these, look for certified organic cookies in your local supermarkets or online. These won’t contain any GMOs or high fructose corn syrup. Cookies may not ever be a health food, but at least there are better options!

Don’t forget to share this with all the parents you know to spread the word.
