What you need to know about Glyphosate, a cancer-related chemical found in Cheerios



[ad_1]

New tests reveal that cereals and popular snacks may contain potentially dangerous levels of the same chemical as glyphosate, a weed killer, and some reports say that it can cause cancer. Of the 21 General Mills products reviewed by the Environmental Working Group, the highest glyphosate levels were found in Cheerios Medley Honey and Nut Crunch, which is more than five times what the defense group considers it a safe level. Original Cheerios had more than four and a half times what the group considers a safe level. Products are considered safe by EPA standards. Dr. David Agus joins "CBS This Morning" to discuss what people should know.
