Toxic substances linked to autism and cancer are present at dangerous levels in Girl Scout Cookies, a study warns.
Every sample of cookie tested contained glyphosate, the active ingredient in the weed-killer Roundup, and heavy metals such as lead and arsenic.

They tested for five metals that can be dangerous to human health: aluminum, arsenic, cadmium, lead and mercury.
