Monsanto’s Carcinogenic Roundup Herbicide Contaminating Water Supply
New research has confirmed what myself and other health conscious individuals have been saying about Monsanto’s best-selling herbicide Roundup — the carcinogenic chemical it contains known as glyphosate has been found to be contaminating the groundwater in areas it is being applied in. What does this mean? It means that toxic glyphosate is now polluting the world’s drinking water through the widespread contamination of aquifers, wells and springs.
The explosive study that confirmed the contamination effect of Monsanto’s Roundup was published in Analytical and Bioanalytical Chemistry last month, in which researchers discovered that 41% of the 140 groundwater samples taken from Catalonia Spain were actually above the limit of quantification. This means that glyphosate was actually not breaking down rapidly, despite Monsanto’s claims that the chemical would do so. Without the key ability to readily break down, it is apparent that glyphosate is polluting groundwater in alarming quantities, enough to pose a significant threat to the purity of drinking water wherever it is used.
It is also important to note that due to its resistance to biodegradability, glyphosate may be lurking in nature for a very long time. But is there really cause for concern?
Glyphosate is Carcinogenic and Neurotoxic
Glyphosate is classified by the the EPA as a Class III toxic substance, and can kill an adult in as little as 30 grams. Even more concerning is the fact that glyphosate, and Monsanto’s Roundup as a whole, have been linked to conditions such as:
- Hormonal disorders
- Lymphoma
- DNA damage
- Endocrine disease
- Skin cancer
- Kidney damage
- Liver damage

This stuff is real, and going on right before our eyes, and the Governments won't do anything because they get extra money out of the population being sick.
How to get the word out? Tell everyone! Share these articles. Print them and post them everywhere.
No offense intended but just who the hell is Anthony Gucciardi to have written such a short but condemning article like this. The band wagon is full I think.
Hola, pueden ver la entrevista a un gran investigador de Argentina, Andrés Carrasco quien confirma ciertos aspectos del glifosato. http://youtu.be/roC_yhmEYSs
How do we get the word out? I feel as though I am the only person who knows this stuff.
Needs investigation at the highest level.
