It looks like organic products mostly avoid this.
- 11/12 (92%) of conventional oat-based products had it
- 1/8 (12.5%) of organic oat-based products had it

Don't Panic, Go Organic!
I can’t stand living in this country sometimes.
How does this shit continue to fucking happen year after year decade after decade.
Greed. It happens because of selfish greedy people who care about nothing but making themselves richer.

Fantastic. I ate that almost exclusively for years because I thought it was the healthier option.
You'll be fine. This is one of the regular studies that doesn't use humans, but rather creatures that evolved similar (but not the same) systems as humans, that the media picks up to regularly scare people.

Not just mice, they also tested in pigs - with various degrees of effect. The alarming thing is how pervasive it is in humans.
Sure, but mice and pigs are not humans, which is the point. They evolved to sometimes have different reactions to the same chemicals that we have reactions to. It could very well be that this pesticide does not pose a risk to humans.
And honestly, we have to have pesticides to feed a hungry world. And herbicides. Especially herbicides, as increasing CO2 in the atmosphere will cause a 'global greening' effect as well as a greenhouse effect, which will result in stronger and hardier weeds. We just can't risk massive crop failures anymore. I don't like it any more than you do, but there really isn't another solution. Especially if you want people to stop eating so much meat.
