連結：19款酒中驗出除草劑成分「草甘膦」恐致癌？毒物科醫師第一手解析！
美國非營利組織「公共利益研究集團」（US PIRG）25日公布報告，抽樣檢驗的20種啤酒及酒類，發現多達19款含有致癌成分嘉磷塞（Glyphosate），這是美國基改食品大廠孟山都（Monsanto）生產的除草劑「年年春」（Roundup）的主要成分。嘉磷塞是世界衛生組織評定為2A級「極可能致癌物」，可能干擾人體內分泌，刺激癌細胞生長。
US PIRG測試了14款啤酒、5款葡萄酒、1款蘋果酒，其中被驗出含有草甘膦最多的啤酒品牌是「青島啤酒」，含量為49.7ppb；含量最高的美國啤酒品牌是「Coors Light」，有31.1ppb；可樂娜（Corona）、美樂（Miller Lite）、百威（Budweiser）含量約在25至30 ppb之間；海尼根（Heineken）、健力士（Guinness）含有約20 ppb。
至於葡萄酒種類中，美國莎特酒莊（Sutter Home）的梅露（Merlot）葡萄酒被驗出含草甘膦51.4ppb，其他還有「Beringer」、「Barefoot」、「Inkarri」和「Frey Vineyards」等酒款被驗出含草甘膦；其中有幾款號稱有機的酒，也被驗出最高5.2ppb的草甘膦。唯一未驗出草甘膦的酒款是比利時啤酒「Peak Beer」。
雖有多達19款啤酒被驗出含殺草劑，但PIRG指出，含量都低於美國環保署（EPA）的標準上限，尚未到達危害人體的程度。美國酒業協會發言人強調，相關酒類的草甘膦含量不高，即使是這次測試中草甘膦含量最高的餐酒，一日之內要喝超過140杯，才會超過加州環境健康災害評估辦公室的「沒有明顯風險水平」標準。

Roundup is everywhere. As the most commonly used agrichemical in the world, Roundup and its
main active ingredient, glyphosate, is showing up in places people do not expect, such as food and drinks.
In this report, we tested beer and wine and found glyphosate in beer and wine from the U.S., Europe, and Asia. We even found glyphosate in some unexpected places, such as in some organic varieties.
While glyphosate is found in many places, for many years scientists were uncertain if glyphosate was a public health problem. But that changed in 2015, when the World Health Organization (WHO) found that glyphosate is a probable carcinogen. In 2017, the state of California also decided to list glyphosate as a probable carcinogen based on the WHO study.
This news has far-reaching impacts. In 2018, a jury in California found that Monsanto’s failure to warn a man of the dangers of using Roundup was a probable cause of his cancer, and awarded him $289 million in damages.
Thousands of other people, mostly farmers, are now alleging that their incurable cancers may have been caused by Roundup. And in January 2019, France banned the use of Roundup 360, citing it as a “serious risk” to human health. Other countries in the EU are considering other glyphosate bans.
Despite these risks, the use of Roundup is growing at such a rapid pace that there is enough glyphosate sprayed every year to spray .8 pounds of glyphosate on every cultivated acre of land in the U.S., and spray nearly half a pound of glyphosate on every cultivated acre of land in the
world.
