A new report has actually found that Roundup, manufactured by Monsanto, is way more poisonous than ever thought. Many countries have banned this toxic cocktail why not the US?
Roundup is one of the biggest selling herbicides sold around the world. Many studies in the past (i) have reported links to a range of diseases such as cancer, kidney disease, Parkinsons disease, Alzheimers disease, autism, birth defects and many more. It is also blamed for the catastrophic loss to the bee population.
Its main ingredient is glyphosate and many countries have banned its use. Russia have recently gone one step further and actually taken moves to classify using such products to damage the population as acts of terrorism. The US still allows it to be sold and used in vast quantities.
However, a new study published in the journal Biomedical Research International (ii) states that Roundup herbicide is 125 times more toxic than its active ingredient glyphosate studied in isolation. This is shocking.

(32,324 posts)RoundUp was discovered in investigations by Don Huber to destroy the nutritional value of the soils. It is after all, a chelating agent.
It zaps the soils of many different vitamins and minerals.
The Monsanto apologists are able to say with a straight face that then all the farmer needs to do is to augment their soil with fertilizers to restore the value to the soil.
But the whole point of RoundUp was that it would make things simpler for the farmer, not harder.
the other way the farmer loses is that once the soil is destroyed, then vomitoxin, fusarium and other nasty molds and fungal materials descend on the crop.
Then the farmer finds out that he or she is not able to sell the crop for a decent price.
And the ability to export his crop is also lost,as foreign officials care a lot about their populace, and they do not want this American crap in their countries.
