You need to try a low carb diet. You won’t need to be concerned about Roundup.

How can a company in the food business or chemistry business bury a news story?

There are only about a dozen or so news network and wire services big enough to “bury” a news story, and Monsanto isn’t one of them.

By the way, just how does the FDA or anybody else determine that

.0000000005

part of a thing is not harmful to humans but

.0000000010

of that thing is harmful to humans?

And that if

.000000001

part of a thing crosses some threshold of danger, that

.000001000

parts of that thing is much more dangerous?

“I seem to recall that she has posted some dodgy stuff in the past.”

She was once horrified to learn that the air in an airplane cabin was almost 80% nitrogen and only 20% oxygen. Then there was that little matter of her “Hitler Crystals”.

She’s no different than a Clinton. She panders to the public’s fears, profits off those fears by spewing nonsense, and promotes products based on cash she receives from the highest bidders. I have ZERO doubt that she’d be full blown in support of GMOs if Monsanto would pay her a handsome amount of money.

Anyone that pays any attention to this scumbag (and she is, in every sense of the word, a bona fide scumbag) needs to reconsider their support for her. She considered herself a scientist for a while there having earned a computer science degree (I can’t see the “science” in computer programming given the definition of science, but I digress).

GMOs make it easier to feed the world and will continue to help prevent the starving of entire populations. FoodBabe does everything in her power to set us back one hundred years in farming. Lots of people would die if it weren’t for modern technologies. She is so full of trash that my blood boils even thinking about her and her ill gotten fortunes.

Again, if you admire Hillary Clinton, then “FoodBabe” is your kind of gal :-) !

Cornell has done research on Glyphosate

http://pmep.cce.cornell.edu/profiles/extoxnet/dienochlor-glyphosate/glyphosate-ext.html

Basically it kills weeds and is not absorbed into human or animal tissue even after prolonged exposure.

“What post”

The post we are all commenting on.

“what study”

The only study cited in the post.

“what groups”

The group the study is credited to.

I could do the homework for you, but it should only take you 2 mouseclicks to discover this information, if you have even an ounce of skepticism left in you. Actually, the group that funded the study is actually mentioned in foodbabe’s post, so you can even figure out in a single mouseclick.

Those who pooh pooh the idea that this stuff is harmless are only kidding themselves. Bio-engineering of our food sources has led to an epidemic of illnesses that were at one time rare.

Why am I not dead

We spray this stuff anywhere you want total kill of any vegetation and surely it’s impossible not to inhale some.

Calling Bs here.

And I like my Honey Nut Cherrios not giving that up!!

Hahah yeah. “It would take THIS many bowls of Cheerios to equal the glyphosate in a single bowl of Colon Blow!”

eggs and flax and such a natural emulsifiers - no problems there. It’s the two big artificial chemicals polysorbate 80 and carboxymethylcellulose that don’t play nice with your colon cells after years of exposure.

One of my new favorites: Chocolate crème filled Oreo thins.
Their regular ones have been going down hill for a long time now.

The county I live in doesn’t allow Roundup or any other chemical weedkillers or pesticides to be used almost anyplace because of the proximity to food crops, livestock, a large lake and river-biosafe stuff only allowed-those natural products work just fine and as an added bonus we have plenty of fireflies and a healthy population of honeybees-there are lots of beekeepers here...

And people wonder why we get cancer.

Not really. We live on the surface of a volcanically active planet with a molten core directly exposed to a G2V class star only 93 million miles away. The crust of our planet is loaded with various heavy metals and radioactive elements and covered with gobs of plant and insect life that produce thousands of different bizarre chemical structures.

It's a small miracle we can even get up in the morning.

I would find a better source that Foof Babe.

You are right about that. The part that made my eyebrow arch was the 1 ppb number. I can't believe anything that dangerous would be in the front of the Lowe's by the gallon, especially as it is sprayed in the open air by humans.

So, I checked another site:

http://www.commdiginews.com/health-science/are-epa-approved-levels-of-glyphosate-residue-in-our-foods-too-high-13855/

Regulation raises glyphosate levels in oilseed crops, which include sesame, flax, and soybean, from 20 parts per million (ppm), to 40 ppm. It also raises the allowable glyphosate contamination level for sweet potatoes and carrots from 0.2 ppm to 3 ppm for sweet potatoes and 5ppm for carrots, that’s 15 and 25 times the previous levels. Read more at http://www.commdiginews.com/health-science/are-epa-approved-levels-of-glyphosate-residue-in-our-foods-too-high-13855/#2utQ8sedfKVP46Zp.99

Even the pre-regulation adjustment period was talking of parts per MILLION, not BILLION. I do find it amusingthat even foods geared towards the nuts and twigs contingent (Annie's) fare no better in this regard.

Hah! I broke the pepsi habbit and exchanged it for a worse one: Coke Zero with artificial sweeteners and all. My intent is to make a new years resolution to quit it starting Jan 1. Advise all to avoid contact with me until at least Feb 1, by which time I might be somewhat back to normal!

Foodbabe doesn’t know the first thing about chemistry, biology, medicine, health or nutrition. She’s just an idiot shakedown artist.

Glyphosate has been tested to be safe at doses thousands of times higher than is reported.
