32% of organic produce contains perclorate toxic chemical used by military

"Perchlorate, a pollutant and powerful endocrine disruptor found in 32% of organic produce and 16% of conventional produce."

Perchlorate has been integrating into the food supply due to its many uses by the military, defense contractors, and aerospace programs.

Irresponsible usage of this chemical has led to it being found in drinking water, feed and edible plants, animals products, milk and breast milk, and both conventional andorganic produce.

It is so ubiquitous in the food supply, in fact, that it has been found in virtually all humans tested.

The Colorado River is so thoroughly contaminated with perchlorate(1.5-8 micrograms per Liter) that 90% of the lettuce consumed during the winter months in the United States produced in the Lower Colorado River region contained the endocrine disrupting chemical.

Even more troubling is the fact that the percentage of produce containing perchlorate may presently be much higher.

This data is from 2005.
