45. Maybe grains give people issues because they are high in glyphosate/Roundup

My significant other has this problem, so I make organic sourdough bread and he has no issues.

Non organic wheat, oats, corn, legumes, soy, and sugar have the highest levels of glyphosate of all of our foods because these foods are often sprayed with Roundup pre-harvest for desiccation.

Sugar in Louisiana and Florida sprayed with Roundup big time pre-harvest. I'm sure this is also feeding their red tides.
