Cheerios and Quaker Oats Reportedly Exposing Americans to Chemical that May Cause Infertility – Rep. Anna Paulina Luna Says House Oversight Committee will Hold Hearings on New Development
A new report from the Environmental Working Group(EWG) examined the presence of chlormequat, a pesticide linked to infertility, which could be on the rise from previous studies and was detected in four out of five people in their latest study.
The study suggests that using products made with organic oats could reduce exposure to this pesticide.
“Since 1993, the Environmental Working Group has shined a spotlight on outdated legislation, harmful agricultural practices and industry loopholes that pose a risk to our health and the health of our environment,” states EWG’s webpage.
The new report states, “Chlormequat was not allowed on oats sold in the U.S. before 2018, when the Trump EPA gave first-time approval for some amount of the chemical on imported oats.
