Study Finds 100% of Girl Scout Cookies Contaminated with Toxins

It's a sad day across Oklahoma when you find out your favorite cookies are contaminated with heavy metals and toxic herbicides. Especially during the prime cookie-selling season.

In a bombshell report, every Girl Scout cookie is contaminated. Even our humble Thin Mints and delicious Tagalongs have fallen.

According to the study, every cookie tested was positive for a handful of heavy metals and at least one highly-debated big-agriculture herbicide linked to autism.

Heavy metals found:

• Aluminum
• Arsenic
• Cadmium
• Lead
• Mercury

What cookie had the highest levels of heavy metals?

It pains me to say, the Tagalongs. To add insult to injury, the amounts of mercury, lead, and aluminum were high enough to be listed as "Alarming Levels."

75% of the cookies had cadmium at levels higher than EPA exposure recommendations.

Other fan-favorites tested high for glyphosate - AKA - RoundUp. A herbicide that has been found to cause cancer and is now linked to autism. It's not something you'd want in your food.

Girl Scouts Lemonades cookies were found to have the highest concentrations of glyphosate, followed by Thin Mints and Do-si-dos.

Are Girl Scout cookies safe to eat?

That's the million-dollar question.

Experts suggest everything bad is generally OK in moderation. Their recommendation is a single cookie won't likely cause you any risk... but eating more than one, especially in one sitting (looking at us all here) could have cumulative effects to compound the risks.

If you'd still like to support the Girl Scouts, it's your body, do what you want... Or just give them your cash.
