Girl Scout Cookies are Toxic
Despite claiming that Girl Scout cookies are full of “top-quality ingredients,” the cookies contain toxic ingredients including natural and artificial flavors, GMO sugar, soybean oil and corn syrup. But it gets even worse. Girl Scout Cookies tested positive for both the cancer-causing weed killer, glyphosate, and toxic heavy metals.
100 percent of the cookies tested contained at least 4 out of 5 heavy metals: aluminum, arsenic, cadmium, lead, and mercury.
Peanut Butter Patties® were the most contaminated, with mercury levels at 0.07 ppb, lead at 42.5 ppb, and aluminum at 27,500 ppb.
The source of aluminum is vague, but non-organic peanut crops are heavily sprayed with toxic chemicals.
Additionally, 76% of the cookies had cadmium levels exceeding EPA limits for water, and 96% contained lead, which has no safe exposure level. Both cadmium and lead are linked to cancer and brain disorders.
Thin Mints had the highest levels of the poison glyphosate.
As is now well-documented, glyphosate is regularly used as a drying agent (aka desiccant) before harvesting on many crops, including oats, wheat, barley, legumes, sugar cane, and other crops.
GMO crops are standard ingredients in Girl Scout Cookies, including beet sugar, corn, soy, and canola. The article highlights the shocking amount of glyphosate in the popular cookies, informing:
The sale of Girl Scout cookies containing potentially toxic ingredients raises significant ethical and public health concerns.
The Girl Scout organization rakes in $800 million a year from the sale of these cookies. Save your money and educate yourself and your children on why we need to boycott Girl Scout cookies as they are currently being produced.
