Glyphosate & Roundup
-
The chemical train of death and destruction just got another engine. Why should we be surprised? The folks at the EPA don’t give two hoots about the soil or your children’s insides. They are more concerned with keeping their job as revolving door bureaucrats and doing the bidding of their masters. I wonder when they will […]

In March 2014, while harvesting marijuana in a remote valley outside Port St Johns, South Africa, Cynthia (not her real name) was sprayed with herbicide from a police helicopter. This is apparently a regular occurrence in this part of the world, an area with very little employment where rural farmers rely on small marijuana crops […]

We’ve all heard various warnings that so many things we consume cause cancer – so much so that we might even be tempted to tune those warnings out, just because we hear them so often. But did you ever stop think about why researchers are linking so many things – especially the foods we eat […]

There’s no denying it — an increasing number of countries have now been joining the battle against Monsanto and its products. In the Netherlands, for instance, the Dutch parliament already voted to ban the sale of glyphosate-based herbicides to private parties. Initially, Monsanto’s connections prevented the enactment of the proposal; however, thanks to the influence of the […]

Glyphosate, the primary ingredient in Monsanto’s Roundup, has increasingly been subjected to scrutiny after the World Health Organization concluded last spring that it is “probably carcinogenic.” Researchers and health food advocates’ fears have been confirmed as studies continue to uncover the impacts of glyphosate accumulation in the environment, our food supply, and humans. As a […]

Germany’s Pesticide Action Network (PAN) is one of six non-governmental organizations (NGOs) that have filed a legal complaint against the groups that are responsible for providing safety assessments for Monsanto’s patented herbicide glyphosate. These agencies – the German Federal Institute for Risk Assessment (BfR) and the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) are also in charge of renewing Monsanto’s license to […]

It wasn’t long ago that Americans had absolutely no clue about the definition of a “GMO;” in fact, most people had never even heard of the term, but those times are long gone and there’s no turning back. Today, not only have the large majority of people heard the word “GMO,” but they possess a […]

Monsanto’s history of spreading chemical death has been well documented. Following the Viet Nam war, their portfolio was so toxic, they divested themselves of Agent Orange, DDT and PCBs. What remained was their best seller, the ubiquitous glyphosate-based Round Up herbicide. With White House support, a squashing of scientific opposition and billions invested over two decades, they […]

Russia’s consumer protection group, Rospotrebnadzor, said the country has banned all imports of genetically modified (GM) corn, following the results of a French study showing massive tumors in rats after having been fed Monsanto’s GM corn. Monsanto, on the other hand, continues to insist that its crops are no different from regular crops, while criticizing the methodology of the […]

Here we go again with glyphosate, that ubiquitous toxin used as Round Up’s primary ingredient. It’s infamous for the ability to kill weeds, along with all those beneficial micro organisms in the soil and in your gut. Oh, yeah, and without it, we can’t feed the world… Not true. Despite the sales pitches and propaganda that farmers will […]

Scientists from the National Research Center in Egypt have once again proven what several other objective, independent studies have been reiterating all along — GMOs are dangerous to human health. After conducting what appears to be the first histopathological and biochemical analysis of GMOs, the study determined that diets containing GM corn and soy cause damage to […]

Terrence “Terry” Ingram, a beekeeper from Apple River, Illinois, has become the latest victim of flagrant government tyranny. According to the Prairie Advocate, Ingram, owner of Apple Creek Apiaries, recently had his bees and beehives stolen from him by the Illinois Department of Agriculture (IDofA), in addition to the destruction of more than 15 years’ worth of research […]

Researchers from Boston University and Abraxis LLC recently discovered significant amounts of glyphosate in honey. For their study, the researchers tested five categories of food items: honey, corn and pancake syrup, soy milk, tofu and soy sauce. 62% of the conventional honeys and 45% of the organic honeys sampled had levels of glyphosate above the minimum established […]

Biotech giant Monsanto is finally suffering the consequences of poisoning people and the environment with their cancer-causing herbicide, Roundup. Monsanto, which is on record for operating like a vicious mafia, was called out by the World Health Organization last spring when it declared that Roundup’s primary ingredient, glyphosate, is “probably carcinogenic.” Since then, a string […]

A California class action lawsuit is about to deal yet another hard blow to the already infamous Monsanto Corporation. According to the lawsuit, glyphosate, the active ingredient in Monsanto’s Roundup, is not only killing plants but also targeting specific enzymes in the microbiome of the human gut. The more we use glyphosate on our crops, the more […]
