I am frankly shocked this information is not making front page news right now. Monsanto will do anything to bury this story… and as of right now, it’s working. Not a single mainstream media outlet has covered this appalling new report that shows millions of people being poisoned by a chemical that does not belong in our food. This chemical is ending up in processed foods like Cheerios, Ritz Crackers, and Oreos and being consumed by humans across the world. The health of millions of people is on the line and this news must go mainstream! That’s why I’m calling on every single one of you who reads this post to share this breaking story now. The only way this injustice will be corrected is if enough of us stand up and demand that something be done to stop the poisoning of our food supply.
A FDA-registered food safety laboratory tested iconic American food for residues of the weed killer glyphosate (aka Monsanto’s Roundup) and found ALARMING amounts.
Just to give you an idea of how outrageous these amounts are, independent research shows that probable harm to human health begins at really low levels of exposure – at only 0.1 ppb of glyphosate. Many foods were found to have over 1,000 times this amount! Well above what regulators throughout the world consider “safe”.
Your Alinsky tactics are moth-eaten communist warbles.
Who funded the study ?
Monsanto (glyphosate manufacturer)
OR ..
US Government (who indemnified Monsanto against lawsuits)?
I believe it was a German, or a Russian study, that demonstrated infertility in 3-5 successive generations, and total infertility in 7-10 generations.
Henny Penny says the sky is falling...
...again.
Of course this study was done on lab mice , not humans.
Bookmark.
“But it wouldn’t be for me, it would be for you - you’re the one making the claim.”
No, the article makes the claim. It is their source, not mine. If you are too lazy to check the sources of this study they are reporting on, that’s your problem, not anyone else’s.
This is one area where I differ profoundly from what I call the Triple-Cees: Cookie-Cutter Conservatives.
Many people on the right automatically assume that corporations are good and government is bad, just as many on the left automatically assume that government is good and corporations are bad.
As a Christian and conservative, I believe that this is a fallen world, and that all are susceptible to doing bad things. Power tends to corrupt. Generally, government, being the Biggest Dog on the Block, is the most likely to also be the Baddest Dog. However, big and powerful companies, like Monsanto - and Facebook, and Google - are capable of also taking a Big Bite out of individual liberty, and to do a lot of harm along the way.
I am a lifestyle nutritionist, and I have done extensive research into Monsanto. I consider this corporation to be pervasively dangerous and evil: dangerous because their products threaten the health of humans and other creatures, evil because they know this and do it anyway.
It continually seeks to pervert and control (via patent) Nature for profit, and to suppress natural crops (e.g., heirloom seeds) and natural remedies.
In 2011 it bought out a non-profit research company, Beeologics, that was studying Colony Collapse Disorder [CCD] and then buried its research, apparently because it implicated Round-Up and GMO seeds as significant causative factors.
I am thoroughly convinced that Round-Up and GMOs contribute not only to CCD but to Leaky Gut syndrome [LGS] in humans.
LGS has far-reaching effects on auto-immune conditions, allergies, chronic bowel problems (e.g., IBS), and possibly artificially-induced autism.
Our bodies were designed by the same Creator who endowed us with unalienable rights, not by Monsanto’s money-mad scientists.
This is yet another example of food nazis appealing to the gullible.
I found the msds for this product. Msds are written for health and safety professionals and can easily make the mundane sound scary
A key part is the LD50 section. LD means lethal dose. 50 is 50% of the population. That means the amount
Of the pure chemical they need to feed to rats to kill half of them.
The LD 50 is 5000 mg/kg or 5 ppb. Even the oh so scary 1100 ppb of Cheerios works out to 1.1 mg/kg.
In other words, nothing. The risk is not even negligible. It’s just scare Monterey trying to freak out the population.
It’s hard, but important to do your heart me work before passing this junk on
“We get physically ill when we try to eat any store bought bread. We make our own and it is fine.”
Unless you’re growing your own grain to make the flour that you make the bread with, you’re still getting the same GMO grain and Roundup in your bread...
Glyphosate (’Round-Up’ or ‘Kleen-Up’) is a super-duper high concentrate of...wait for it...wait for it...wait for it...
Salt and water.
As a home gardener, I’ve used it for decades. When it gets to the soil level, it breaks back down into salt and water. It doesn’t leech into our groundwater. It’s not killing us, but it’s awesome on weeds, that’s for sure!
Feel free to go about your daily lives, again. :)
“You need to try a low carb diet. You won’t need to be concerned about Roundup.”
Umm, the meat in your low carb diet comes from animals that are fed Roundup-ready grain, so no dice. Going higher up the food chain just increases the concentration of toxins absorbed from the environment.
The U.S. has determined the acceptable daily intake of glyphosate at 1.75 milligrams per kilogram of bodyweight per day (mg/kg/bw/day) while the European Union has set it at 0.3.[50]
“When it gets to the soil level, it breaks back down into salt and water.”
If that’s true, wouldn’t it just kill all the plants? I mean, you would literally be “salting the earth”.
Baloney!
Well, there goes that diet.
Nope. It has to touch living leaf tissue to work. Pouring it at the base of the weed doesn’t work. The weed takes it down to the root level, it kills the roots, and the weed dies. Round-up or Kleen-Up don’t build up in the soil. If it DID, that WOULD be trouble!
This is why it’s important NOT to spray it on your tomato plants!
I had a, ‘feuding neighbor situation’ where a woman came in to my Garden Center for advice on what to do. Her neighbor sprayed Round-up all over her vegetable and flower gardens!
I told her to take a LOT of pictures, call the cops and file a complaint, and to hose down the area as much as possible to wash it off the plants if she could. (Didn’t work - he did it at night, so the plants were already taking it up.) :(
People would cut down trees/shrubs on the property lines, they’d purposefully plant Creeping Charlie in lawns.
People ARE fecking NUTS, on so many levels, and it’s a primary reason why I haven’t had/wanted neighbors for 30 years! ;)
For all the alarmist.
You can have expensive, “perfect”, limited availability food grown in a mixture of shit and piss
or
you can have abundant, cheap, imperfect food.
Choose..........................
But lets get the government involved in this “problem”, that will fix it.
X-ray crystallographic studies of glyphosate and EPSPS show that glyphosate functions by occupying the binding site of the phosphoenolpyruvate, mimicking an intermediate state of the ternary enzyme substrates complex.[32][33] Glyphosate inhibits the EPSPS enzymes of different species of plants and microbes at different rates.[34][35]
EPSPS is produced only by plants and microbes; the gene coding for it is not in the mammalian genome.[36][37] Gut flora of some animals contain EPSPS.[38]
And you work for Monsanto.
