International study reveals glyphosate weed killers cause multiple types of cancer

Roundup appears to encourage cancerous pathways, even in doses deemed okay, today.

I occasionally use Roundup, but I will try to be more careful with it.

They sprayed some on my lawn at our senior complex My cat ate some grass and it cost me $800 tp save her life. .

It appears the rats consumed it.

Without glyphosate, crop yields will be a fraction of what they are now.

[dadfly]

the biggest problem with glyphosate, imho, are the plants like corn which are genetically modified to tolerate roundup. they spray it right on. just how do you avoid all corn?

i try, but it’s very hard to avoid glyphosated foods.

Unfortunately, there is no money in using natural strategies to control weeds and whatever.

Put your weeds in a barrel and light on fire and then feed the carbon back into your soil.

I don’t know how that bit about Ruckelshaus going to EDF got into that post from the draft I had lying around, but I had already found that part inaccurate. I’ll pull it.

We compost ours and put it only in the veggie garden, which is in enclosed beds. The problem is volume. The pile has outgrown the garden. Time to make more growing beds. :-)

**Without glyphosate, crop yields will be a fraction of what they are now.**

Glyphosate doesn’t increase yields. It is simply a post-emergant weed killer that doesn’t kill the genetically glyphosate resistant crop.

Soil incorporated pre-emergence weed killers do an effective job when applied to tilled soil.

Trouble is, that takes a lot more fuel and time to moldboard plow, which is rare these days, but helped bury weed seeds too deep to sprout.

Fungicides have been all the rage for about 20 years, even being applied twice in a crop season in some cases. It supposedly results in healthier plants which in turn can give an approximate 10% yield increase.

It’s in almost everything we eat. Which is a key part of the plan to make merchandise of us.

How close is Roundup to Agent Orange, chemically speaking?

[moreisee]

I make my own weed killer:
1/2 Gal vinegar
1/4 cup salt or epson salt
1/2 tsp dish soap
1 tsp Dr Fred Summit heat rub

spray it on weeds on a hot sunny day.

The bottle of Roundup “Ready to Use” you buy at the garden center has a whopping SEVEN milligrams per liter in the bottle.

Do the math.

This is almost as egregious a misrepresentation as saccharine.

Similar..1 gal vinegar/1/4cup dish soap/2 cups Epsom salts..

I buy Roundup by the 3 Gal jugs and have for years and years, had hoses blow and get it in my mouth and on my face many times, on my hands and arms and never had a issue with it. Just this week I sprayed out 2 jugs about 80 gallons mixed but as I have many acres with fences, ditches that I spray.

It’s always about money.
