EWG: Monsanto’s Herbicide Chemical Glyphosate Doubles Cancer Risk
Among other health issues
Latest News
As news of Monsanto’s falling stock, and laid-off employees reaches the far stretches of the media circus, another dire report for the biotech company becomes common knowledge: glyphosate nearly doubles cancer risk.
One particular type of cancer stands above the rest, even after the World Health Organization’s International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) said that glyphosate was probably carcinogenic. Glyphosate has been found to double the risk of the blood cancer, non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, and increase the risk of a related cancer, multiple myeloma.
The Environmental Working Group (EWG) points out that the IARC’s most recent report confirmed the findings of the Agency’s previous meta-analysis, which combined the results of several studies and concluded that farmers and others exposed to glyphosate suffer double the risk of developing non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. The more recent report also highlighted studies that found that farm workers’ glyphosate exposure increases their risk of multiple myeloma by 70 to 100%.
This doesn’t bode well for a company that is having trouble selling ‘suicide’ seeds, and has long lost public support for GM crops. The fact that farm workers should start looking for life insurance policies if they work with Monsanto’s chemicals is not only shocking, but it is entirely unnecessary. There are less-toxic, more sustainable ways of farming that have been around for centuries,; ones that biotech always attempts to discredit.
This should also be alarming to people who buy anything that isn’t organically-grown from US grocery store shelves. Some estimate that 90% of all processed food contains glyphosate residues. As a French court has found, this toxic chemical concoction certainly doesn’t ‘leave the soil clean’ or ‘biodegrade’ to become some inane, and innocuous magic soap scum that we can just wash away.
Glyphosate should be restricted or banned around the world.

The pesticide (biocide) industry spends hundreds of millions of dollars – including millions to so-called independent scientists – to try to scam us into believing that GE/GMO foods are ‘safe.’ The industry spends millions more to stop initiatives to label GMOs. Why?
GMO crops trigger massive use of biocides (like Roundup and Enlist Duo) linked to cancer in animals and human beings.
The industry KNOWS that informed people REJECT cancer-causing GMOs.
You forgot to mention the massive reduction of other pesticides that gmos save us from. Not to mention that your Enlist Duo is barely even used at the moment.

So the world health organization just recently said that roundup is only a probable carcinogen with only ones of us that handle it on a daily basis, but wait now Chrissy all by herself and a little made up research has doubled that threat. Please how long do we have to endure journalistic standards of zero?
Her links in the article go to information on the studies which state this. Nice try. Your icon says it all though.
Other studies say Roundup IS a carcinogen.
The Amish in my area grow roundup corn and sell grade b milk so your picture really doesn’t prove much.
Like anyone believes what you say.
You would if you actually had a clue.
ten years ago I probably would of. But after waking up to the lies of the govt and main media and LOTS of research I now know the truth. look at how many people comment to me that I am wrong……….pretty much you only. Now how many comment to you and school you……..pretty much everyone else. It is SO obvious you are a paid monsatan shill and your game is nearly OVER.
Lets see we are on a blog that is full of nuts like you. Go any neutral site and see. Oh wait, you don’t believe in them because they just report the facts and they don’t agree with your theories.
You mean the ones that are owned and operated by same people that run the govt. The mainstream reporting facts………..good one!
If people actually agreed with you labeling wouldn’t have been voted down every time it was put before the people.
It shouldn’t be labeled, it should be gone! Most people are a sleep and think the govt wouldn’t do bad stuff to the people. They are to busy watching honey boo boo or Kim Kar……..or ball games etc. The main media is owned and run by the same crap wipes that run the govt. What a brilliant way to brainwash the sheeple to believe anything they want you to. like 9/11, aspartame, fluoride etc etc
More and more people are waking up to this crap. Hopefully before we are totally in orwellian 1984.
Yes and let’s not for the Kennedy cover up and how the government is secretly in touch with aliens. You need to comeback to reality. People have already woke up, to your stupidity that is.
your the one talking aliens and are the one who needs to wake to reality shill boy.
I’m not the one scared of science and the local news, that would be you. Let’s add in your own shadow to your scared list as well.
not scared of either. what part of gmo’s causing tumors etc don’t you understand? You think the media is going to tell the truth……..LOL they are owned and run by the same pricks that run the govt. If I was scared I wouldn’t be SCREAMING to everyone about this and tons more crap going on. Your not fooling anyone on this site obviously and it’s pathetic.
Your proof? Zero. Not on the farm, and not in the real world. The best you can point to is a study of rats that are designed to get rumors no matter what they were fed. Take the blinders off, open the eyes and turn on the lights, because there is no way you could be that dumb.
plenty of proof just pull your head out and start researching shill boy.

Former Pro-GMO Scientist Speaks Out On The Real Dangers of Genetically Engineered Food
Agritech companies have given themselves veto power over the work of
independent researchers.” Scientists must literally ask these
corporations for permission before publishing independent research on
genetically modified crops. Gee I wonder why?
Seralini set for September UK tour to speak about his research
The most detailed scientific study ever conducted on the health
effects of a genetically modified (GM) food was published last year. The
findings of the study, led by Prof Gilles-Eric Séralini at the
University of Caen in France, were shocking. Rats fed over a two-year
period with two Monsanto products, a GM maize and tiny amounts of the
Roundup herbicide that the maize is engineered to tolerate being sprayed
with, had increased rates of severe organ damage, tumours, and
premature death

G nothing fishy there!!!!!
You need to get back to reality. You are way out there.
You need to start doing good instead of evil.
If helping farmers feed the world isn’t good then I don’t know what is.
feeding poison is not good and yes you have no clue what good is.
Yes gmos are poison to hunger!! You finally got one right there.
