•Disease - According to a new paper published in Entropy, an open access, peer-reviewed journal, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) found that glyphosate interferes with human digestion and biosynthesis of nutrients. In fact, it acts as a potent bacteria-killer in the gut and actually wipes out the good micro flora which is in the body to help protect people from disease. (ii)
•Obesity – Because glyphosate has been proven to have damaging effects on the bacteria in the gut, it leads to depleted sulfate supplies which results in inflammatory bowel disease. Nutrient absorption is blocked and enzymes in the liver are affected. The obesity incidence is therefore compounded since the body's ability to detoxify synthetic chemicals is impaired. (iii)
•Breast Cancer – In a study just released this month, researchers found that glyphosate stimulates hormone-dependent cancer cell lines in what the study calls low and environmentally relevant concentrations. (iv)
•Birth defect – A study in the Journal of Environmental and Analytical Toxicology revealed industry studies dating back to the 1980's (some even conducted by Monsanto) demonstrated that glyphosate causes birth defects. (v)
Think you are safe? In 2011 a study by the USGS detected glyphosates present in the Mississippi river basin. (vi) In 182 volunteers tested in Germany, the United Kingdom and Poland, 70% were found to have had glyphosate in their body. (vii)
It's no wonder these numbers are so high. In the U.S 90% of all soybeans are genetically engineered (viii) and the EPA is discussing their desire to raise the allowable standard of glyphosate on crops (ix) to .7 ppm. According to European tests it indicates liver damage in animals at .0001 ppm. (x) Therefore, the EPA's increase is 7,000 times the limit found to have caused liver damage in animals, based upon the European tests.
What is the future? What can be changed? What can you do?
