Many popular, cheap brands of wine from California contain illegal and dangerously high levels of poisonous inorganic arsenic and glyphosate which the State of California now classifies as a “known carcinogen”
Did you know that of the 57,000 pounds of glyphosate/Roundup used in Napa County in 2013, 50,000 pounds were used in vineyards? In fact, breast cancer rates in Napa, Sonoma and Mendocino counties are higher than the national average. German researchers have found that even .1 ppb of glyphosate can destroy beneficial gut bacteria and as little as .1 part per trillion of glyphosate has also been shown to stimulate the growth of breast cancer cells.
Arsenic In California Wines
Inorganic arsenic is highly toxic. Long-term exposure to arsenic is linked to cancer and skin lesions. It has also been found to cause cardiovascular disease and diabetes. It can also cause severe vomiting, disturbances of the blood and circulation, damage to the nervous system, and even death.
Before you grab that bottle of wine, you might want to double-check the brand.
According to a lawsuit, these brands contain extremely high levels of inorganic arsenic which could be dangerous to the drinker.

However, you still enjoy wine choosing organic brands. Organic grapes are not sprayed with harmful chemical pesticides, fertilizers and herbicides. As a result, organic wine is a more natural and cleaner product to consume. So try getting only pure, organic, and low-intervention fine wines such as ETTORE WINE! It’s my personal favorite organic brand!
DETOX TOXINS FROM YOUR BODY
If you want your liver to function properly (eliminate toxins and cleanse all the impurities) you should consume reishi mushrooms daily. In, a study in Food and Chemical Toxicology showed that using reishi mushroom reversed chemical-driven liver damage in mice. Reishi mushroom is known for its anti cancer properties. It eliminates free radicals and promotes liver cell regeneration. Just take 1/2 tablespoon a day!
