The Environmental Working Group (EWG) say that they have found there is a new chemical called Chlormaquat in the American food supply due to imported grain. The chemical is used in pesticides sprayed on grain products.
The toxicology team tested food and found that 92% of oat based products had Chlormaquat in the different products.
They then did a human study with 96 people, and 77 out of the 96 had been exposed to the harmful chemical. It is a published peer reviewed study.
Wikipedia give us some history on the chemical and it is used on fruit trees in European countries.

As a side note: Oats are also high in oxalate.
