"Has glyphosate been found inside of a tomato? Because if the issue is the toxins on the outside, we should be able to wash them off ... so what exactly are we paying such a premium for?"

Secondly, it's not just toxic pesticides you're trying to avoid with organic, it's toxic chemical fertilizers and lack of nutrients due to soils only amended with only the 3 main nutrients.
Regarding gluten allergies, if your hypothesis was correct, they should be able to eat organic wheat. They can't. Even when ancient wheat varieties are grown on small farms away from farms that spray, those with gluten issues react. It's the protein not the spray. It's the protein with almost all allergies. Foreign protein is what activates our immune system.
Many allergic to gluten have found that when they go to a country where glyphosate isn't sprayed on wheat as a dessicant (eg. to kill it in preparation for harvest) they have no problem at all eating it. It is sprayed on wheat in particular so that it will all ripen at the same time for massive agri-business machine harvesting. The grain is then sent directly to mills where it is ground for flour. No washing. Glyphosate changes the proteins in gluten to the extent that our bodies don't recognise them as food and reject them, so cleverly the finger of focus can be pointed at something it isn't instead of what is REALLY happening -- just think how massive the non-gluten business has become!
Meanwhile glyphosate perferates the gut lining so that not just gluten but ALL food can leak into the abdomen (eg. "leaky gut") where it definitely does NOT belong, thus you get multiple and varying "allergies" with the body trying to deal with this awful situation and no route to expel what shouldn't be there. Along with Stephanie Senoff, Zach Bush has done more research than anyone on this than anyone. Here's a short very educational video of his:

Leaky gut is an interesting theory presented to chronically I'll people by alternative practitioners who have no idea why people are really sick, just like their conventional counterparts. But if food molecules were actually leaking into your abdominal cavity, you'd be in the hospital dying of sepsis.
Years ago i used to listen to all the alternative online health summits and there were many summits on IBS (which i suffered with for years) and chronic digestion problems including "gluten allergies", and NEVER ONCE DID I EVER HEAR A MENTION of glyphosate, which in my opinion was/is the number one cause of all these illnesses. As soon as we went all "organic" (for what it's worth) my gut issues were gone, as were a number of health issues my husband and i had, which included dry cracking skin, brain fog, and constantly running noses. It was Zach Bush who first clued us into this, explaining that glyphosate perforates all membranes including gut, nasal, blood/brain, blood vessels etc. and i have to say that for us all these issues are gone now, and only past memories. But i agree that "leaky gut" was an excuse for simply not having an answer. And it does explain why what people were "allergic to" seemed to change from day to day, cos it wasn't the food items themselves, it was the reaction of a damaged gut to anything and everything.
And BTW, the chemical BTK, okayed for organic use, works exactly the same as glyphosate. It kills all kinds of larve (including of those dangerous gypsy moths) by perforating their guts until they explode, so that over a few days time they can no longer eat or digest and they die. Unfortunately it does the same to humans who eat the sprayed plants, and to all butterflies, and birds who feed the larvae to their young, and every creature that walks on it and licks themselves, including pets, grazing animals and various beneficial insects. This is why TPTB are so darn persistent and keen on low level spraying every year for the "moth invasions". And despite this moth being a "forestry threat", they are determined to spray it on towns and cities and prime agricultural land. The many Notices of Liability that have bombarded TPTB in the last few years have had a small success in stopping a few of the sprays, but it still goes on all over Canada and many other places in the world.
Interesting. It’s my understanding that BTK is a bacterium that doesn’t survive in warm-blooded organisms such as ourselves.
Some people (including me) did an immense amount of research two years ago when our communities here in Canada were being aerial sprayed annually with BTK for the FAKE "gypsy moth invasion" -- altho in order to be politically correct, the NAME of the moth was changed to "spongy moth", thus making our research more difficult!!!!!! According to what we found BTK (which is a PATENTABLE derivative of the supposedly "natural" BT bacteria -- and i'm even doubting the existence of bacteria these days!) anyway BTK damages ALL living things from the tiniest pollinating insects to mammals. There was a fish hatchery in one local area that had just released 2000 young salmon in a holding pond and they all "mysteriously" died a day after the spray, as all ponds and watercourses and even the BEACH was sprayed here. This spraying goes on every spring just at pollination time, in countries all over the world, so there is research from there too. When we had gathered our irrefutable information many of us sent NOLs to the Dept. of Forestry officials who were running the poisoning campaign, plus the pilot who is a member of the Big Boys Club, who had held the govt. contract for many years. This was a mixed success, too long to go into here, but we'll see what happens this year. Except thank god i won't be here to see it, cos we're getting out of this crazy country as soon as our property sells. The grand plan of course is to kill ALL the pollinators, including bees who land on sprayed flowers and plants. the 5G frequency also kills insects and bees in particular. Without pollinators most of agriculture is finished.
Thanks for this information!
While I don’t doubt the existence of bacteria, I do doubt the honesty of manufacturers. I try to grow most of my product and buy only from local farmers who don’t spray anything on food. But as I’m also in Canada, that’s impossible in winter.
I know BTK is sprayed on fruit trees. And that both nicotine and MSG are used on organic food grown in the US. Were you able to find out what other edibles BTK is typically used on?
Organic is showing maybe half reactionary for gluten intolerant majority so for some can squeeze by..solution is European Organic or exotic expensive wheat ls or other grains.
Percentage maybe 1/3 showing no big problems with sourdough,more if organic as it's kinda in predigested state so even though gluten is as high perhaps it slides thru less damage..other tricks including pectin or arginic acid or before meal to coat innards for hours,allowing less penetration by gluten and glkycos but nutritional absorption is perhaps reduced a third.
Certain supplements, enzymes can work to point of no major illness point..careful with the absolutes whole worlds polluted,it's all a compromise now unless your a millionaire and even then difficult...If you can reduce a illness,pain or condition 1/3 for many it's livable,by 2/3 most...
Gosh but I wish it had worked that way for me or the friends, neighbors and relatives with gluten intolerance, gluten allergy and celiac disease I've talked to about this. Because it's the protein that causes the reaction. If sour dough, European wheat and ancient varieties improve symptoms, it wasn't an allergy or celiac disease to begin with. It was an intolerance to some other ingredient in the bread. Or it's people who believe they're allergic when in fact they are intolerant to an ingredient. Our immune cells don't differentiate between organic and conventionally grown proteins when the makeup of the protein itself is the same. They don't have time to get that sophisticated when reacting to proteins.
