SUGARCANE IS USED TO RIPEN SUGARCANE

from FoodTravelUSA with Elizabeth Dougherty · host Elizabeth Dougherty

Food Travel USA with Elizabeth DoughertyAlbum: The TRUTH About Food and Travel Episode #: 1793 Original Broadcast Date: 08/13/2013 We've told you about genetically modified sugar beets and encouraged folks to eat pure sugarcane instead. Now, we are concerned about new information we discovered about a process designed to increase the profitability of sugarcane crops. We want to share this information with you. Thanks to a listener who sent us a tip, we verified some surprising information in an interview with a researcher at the USDA. Sugarcane in Louisiana, Florida and other parts of the world are sprayed with the herbicide glyphosate (the active ingredient in RoundUp) before harvest to speed up the ripening process and to increase its sweetness. Also, read about new GMO bioengineered sugarcane  undisclosed FRAUD. Some studies worldwide suggest there is no safe level of glyphosate. Glyphosate was not developed to be ingested by humans. U.S. Sugar (the same entity developing genetically modified oranges through Southern Gardens Citrus) did not respond to our attempts to contact them to comment on this story. From the Food Travel USA Interview Archives: Elizabeth Dougherty spoke with with Caleb Dalley from the USDA Sugarcane Research Unit. FOOD TRAVEL USA FAST FACTS About the Show Using the chassis of a food and travel show, Elizabeth Dougherty has carved out her own lane in Talk Radio, covering the contamination of the food supply and the travel restrictions placed upon us by an overreaching government. The show also covers data protection, self-sufficiency, and homesteading-related topics to help protect us from this evil, corrupt system. With Elizabeth as the host, the show has a very different sound from the typical male-oriented talk radio. In combination with terrestrial stations that carry the show, we reach people who don't normally listen to politically-driven talk radio. In addition to the LIVE FEED of the show on Saturday afternoons from 5pm–7pm (Eastern) / 2pm–4pm (Pacific), we produce and distribute a dozen podcast segments each week.
