Monsanto's Roundup disrupts bodily functions --> diseases

[Maria]

Research has shown that glyphosate not only has an adverse affect on harmful insect pests, but also cause diseases in beneficial insects, animals, and humans.

Research highlights from Dr. Mercola's article:

While Monsanto insists that Roundup is safe and “minimally toxic” to humans, new research argues that glyphosate residues on and in food enhance the damaging effects of other food-borne chemical residues and environmental toxins to disrupt normal body functions and induce disease.

Glyphosate inhibits enzymes that catalyze the oxidation of organic substances, which, according to the researchers, is an overlooked component of its toxicity to mammals.

Thank you for reminding us< Maria.
Everyone and their brother is out there getting their lawns fixed up, it seems. UGH.
I don't want anyone near ME to spray that foul stuff and cause toxic fumes. Ick.

People have no clue ; they use so much of it.
Why is a green lawn SO IMPORTANT ?
Notice how people spend so much effort for that, yet use swear words and dark thinking and nasty words to
their neighbors imagining that they will be judged on the verdure of their yard instead of their deeds and words !
If ever they imagine having to submit to a Judgment from God at all !

All that I have read and heard about this company causes deep concern about its efforts to control important aspects agriculture. While genetically engineered foods are touted as answers to hunger, plant disease, etc., it appears this is simply the window dressing. Monopoly appears to be main goal. Anything else is a means to that end.

Governments, including the USA, appear to collude with them thus allowing to further their aims. They find a wheat field but no record of the farmer buying seed from them, that farmer has to prove he got his seed legitimately via a very difficult and expensive legal process.

Put graphically if the company leaders bring their parents to me, I'll arrange for them to be married. :shock:

New Autism link to Round Up

May 2013 issue

• The herbicide sprayed on most of the world’s genetically engineered crops—and which gets soaked into the food portion—is now linked to “autism … gastrointestinal issues such as inflammatory bowel disease, chronic diarrhea, colitis and Crohn’s disease, obesity, cardiovascular disease, depression, cancer, cachexia, Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis, and ALS, among others.”

Excerpts from the latest article by Dr. Mercola:

• Tests show that people in 18 countries across Europe have glyphosate in their bodies. Of the urine samples tested, an average of 44 percent was found to contain glyphosate; 70 percent of Germans, Britons, and Polish tested positive. ...

  Glyphosate has estrogenic properties and promotes breast cancer in the parts-per-trillion range. Meanwhile, the EPA proposes raising allowable residue levels in certain vegetables from 0.2 to as high as 6 parts-per-million

New article on Roundup -- the effects of Roundup in our body is worse than realized!

• • Recent research reveals that glyphosate-based formulations pose a threat to human health through cytotoxicity and oxidative effects.
  • Glyphosate-based formulas were also found to be lethal to human liver cells.
  • Previous research suggests glyphosate, the active ingredient in Monsanto’s broad-spectrum herbicide Roundup, might be an important factor in the development of chronic disease.
  • Glyphosate toxicity—whether in isolation or in formulation—implicates genetically engineered foods as being potentially far more hazardous to your health than less contaminated crops.

Roundup is now found in air and rain samples. It is most likely present in the air you breathe.
