These findings are a potential blow to Germany\u2019s Beer Purity Law, which is highly regarded in German beer culture. Industry and German government immediately sought to downplay the results, saying that the levels found did not pose a risk to humans. However, according to the study\u2019s results, all levels found were above the glyphosate residue level allowed in drinking water. Consumers have a right to be worried about the findings, as glyphosate was classified in March 2015 \u00a0as a probable carcinogen by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC). The results, published \u00a0in German, are broken down by beer and by micrograms per liter in picture format. The researchers cite the laboratory test results of the 14 beers, which found glyphosate levels \u00a0between 0.46 and 29.74 micrograms per liter. The highest reading is 300 times the legal limit for drinking water in Germany, which is 0.1 microgram per cubic meter. Hasseroeder, a beer brewed in Saxony-Anhalt in eastern Germany and owned by Anheuser Busch Inbev, contained the [&hellip;]","thumbnail_url":"http:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/beerfull.jpg"}
