Yet another reason to rethink wheat flour-based foods in our diets. Dr. William Davis and Wheat Belly made us re-think gluten and gliadin wheatbellyblog/, along with Dr. Pearlmutter and Grain Brain drperlmutter/about/grain-brain-by-david-perlmutter/ And now this: Last week, PAN UK released a report on pesticide residues in bread, analyzing government data over a 13-year time span. The report highlights extensive pesticide residues in some foods — including two-thirds of all bread products — and the ways in which food residue trends have shifted over time. Pesticide residues have been in our food as long as we’ve been using pesticides. So its not surprising (although still disturbing) that residues have significantly increased over the past decade. PAN UK’s analysis indicates that pesticide residues in bread alone have more than doubled from 28% in 2001 to 63% in 2013; and the number of samples testing positive for multiple residues have also more than doubled in the last seven years.
