What’s new is how much and how. It didn’t used to be used directly on food then Monsanto started genetically engineering food crops to withstand it. So now it’s in far more of our food than ever before. I’m not saying the alarmists are right, but it’s a legitimate issue to be looked at, not all lies.

It has been looked at, and only one claims it is carcinogenic. Only the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) the proclaimed specialized cancer agency of the World Health Organization has stated that it is probably carcinogenic. Even the EU assessment did not identify a carcinogenicity hazard. Do some research of the researches conducted thus far.

Without GM (genetic modification) more of the world would starve and many would be malnourished.

An estimated 50 million people died from malaria when they banned DDT, and they used lies to ban DDT. Same process in effect here.

I'm all for study, as long as it is an honest study, and not an emotional study riddled with lies to win the argument.

But is it better that a small number may be adversely affected while millions more get the food they need, or do we make millions suffer from starvation and malnutrition to save the smaller numbers who may be adversely affected?

While that may turn some people off, it's a decision we must make. I will go for the few being adversely affected, even if I number in those who are.

Like man made global warming this is just another attempt to control the masses. In this case they want to thin the population. So attack those who would be most vulnerable by the banning of pesticides that may or may not be safe for humans. That point, safety, is irrelevant to them and their true agenda.

But you are unlikely to find the likes of this in the MSM:

The emerging class of environmental estrogens are not naturally
occurring; they are manmade estrogenic chemicals. These synthetic
chemicals which mimic estrogen are found in pharmaceuticals (drug
estrogens, i.e., birth control pills, hormone replacement therapy),
pesticides, products associated with plastics, household products,
industrial chemicals, and heavy metals. They are endocrine
disrupting hormones.

Natural hormones: estrone, beta estradiol, estriol, and phyto-
estrogens are short lived. They stay in the blood stream for minutes
to hours and then are broken down by enzymes in the liver into
pieces which are either excreted or used to build other molecules.
They are not bioaccumulative in fatty tissue. Estrogenic drugs such as
ethynylestradiol found in birth control pills are more stable and
remain in the body longer than natural estrogens. Two large classes
of drug estrogens are birth control pills and hormone replacement
therapy. - http://nywea.org/Clearwaters/08-3-fall/05-EstrogenInWastewater.pdf
