The public's appreciation of the toxicity of glyphosate—the active ingredient in Monsanto's broad- spectrum herbicide Roundup—is still limited, despite highly damning research being published. The fact that Monsanto marketed Roundup as . More people are apt to remember the Roundup commercial than recall the fact that Monsanto was twice found guilty of false advertising of this herbicide. With regret, I asked my site managers at Cre8d to block all future comments to this site. The GMO trolls—people who post deliberately hostile comments—have.

In 2. 00. 9, a French court again upheld these earlier convictions. Mounting evidence shows that glyphosate is FAR more toxic than anyone previously suspected, both alone and in combination with other additives (as in the case of Roundup), or in combination with other agricultural chemicals and/or heavy metals. Dr. They are spraying nearly ONE BILLION pounds every year on our food crops. That is enough glyphosate to fill 4,0. Olympic sized swimming pools. Most recently, what's being referred to as . As reported by Lanka Business Online. Chronic kidney disease of unknown etiology (CKDu) first appeared in Sri Lanka's rice growing areas in the north central province in the 1. South, with over 2. According to estimates by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), some 2. American farm workers are also being poisoned on the job each year. Lethal Kidney Disease Linked to Roundup and Phosphate Fertilizer Combo. According to a recent study published in the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health,3 glyphosate may carry heavy metals and minerals, whether naturally- occurring or originating from agricultural chemicals, into your kidneys, courtesy of its chelating properties. A unique feature of this kidney disease (chronic kidney disease of unknown etiology/CKDu) is that none of the commonly known risk factors apply, such as diabetes or hypertension, but there's a strong association between this mysterious kidney disease and consumption of hard water, i. Ninety- six percent of patients with chronic kidney disease of unknown etiology had consumed hard or very hard water for at least five years. Meanwhile, the disease is not found among those who get their drinking water straight from natural springs. Kidney toxicity is not known to be associated with hard water consumption, and this surprising finding added to the initial mystery. Furthermore, the disease seemed to have cropped out of nowhere. There were no reported cases of this kind of kidney disease in Sri Lanka prior to the 1. The researchers note that the original use of glyphosate was as a de- scaling agent, used to clean out calcium and other mineral deposits in hot water systems. De- scaling agents attach to minerals such as calcium and magnesium, rendering them water soluble. According to the authors. If we assume that the 'Compound X' is derived from the agrochemicals and is easily bound to Ca/Mg/Sr/Fe to ultimately cause damage to the kidneys, then this hypothesis can explain the geographical distribution of chronic kidney disease of unknown etiology (CKDu) as well as the occurrence of the disease only after the 1. Although glyphosate alone does not cause an epidemic of chronic kidney disease, it seems to have acquired the ability to destroy the renal tissues of thousands of farmers when it forms complexes with a localized geo- environmental factor (hardness) and nephrotoxic metals. Previous research has shown victims of chronic kidney disease of unknown etiology have arsenic in their hair and nails, and arsenic along with heavy metals such as cadmium, chromium, nickel, and lead are also found in the triple- super- phosphate (TSP) fertilizer used by Sri Lankan farmers. Triple superphosphate. TSP), also known as calcium dihydrogen phosphate and as monocalcium phosphate, became widely used in the 2. In Sri Lanka, it's applied within a couple of weeks of spraying the rice fields with glyphosate. According to the featured study, Sri Lankan farmers do not use protective gear when applying agricultural chemicals, which would explain why glyphosate has been found in farmers' urine post- application. The matter may be further compounded by the fact that: The affected farmers dissolve the glyphosate in hard water before spraying. They eat rice contaminated with glyphosate and heavy metals. Many chew locally grown tobacco, which has also been found to be contaminated with cadmium and arsenic . Following dermal and respiratory absorption of glyphosate, it can form complexes with nephrotoxic metals and arsenic derived from rice, vegetables and tobacco within the circulation. The two crops, rice and sugarcane, both require higher amounts of agricultural chemicals when grown on a large scale, and glyphosate is the most widely used pesticide in areas affected by this chronic kidney disease. Shockingly, considering its majestic natural beauty, the island country of Sri Lanka has some of the highest use of agricultural chemicals in the world! According to the featured article: 5. Others were; Bangladesh (4. U), Jamaica (3. 97. U), Dominican Republic (3. U), Costa Rica (3. U) and El Salvador (3. U).. The state also subsidizes chemical fertilizer in an unprecedented scale. It appears as though, long- term, certain chemicals such as glyphosate also have the ability to kill the human population, along with other portions of the natural world. Glyphosate is actually, in many ways, similar to DDT, which is now known to cause reproductive problems and birth defects. The most recent research into DDT effects found that exposure appears to increase the risk of developing Alzheimer's disease, decades later. This is undoubtedly unwelcome news to those who, in their youth, used to run out and frolic in the fumes from the DDT truck! Remember, DDT was advertised. And it was . Besides being identified as a likely causative factor in fertility problems and birth defects, research also shows that glyphosate: Decimates beneficial microorganisms in the soil essential for proper plant function and high quality nutrition Causes extreme disruption of your gut microbes' function and lifecycle; preferentially affecting beneficial bacteria, while promoting the growth of pathogens in your intestines. Chelates critical microminerals, preventing them from being utilized by the plant (leading to nutrient- deficient food)Inhibits enzymes that catalyze the oxidation of organic substances, which appears to be an overlooked component of glyphosate's toxicity to mammals. By limiting the ability of these enzymes to detoxify foreign chemical compounds, glyphosate enhances the damaging effects of those chemicals and environmental toxins you may be exposed to. Promotes the proliferation of disease- causing pathogens in soil. Is toxic to water fleas at extraordinarily low levels, well within the levels expected to be found in the environment. These findings throw serious doubt on glyphosate's safety. Predisposes cattle to lethal botulism. Is toxic to human DNA even when diluted to concentrations 4. Other Hidden Health Hazards Associated with Phosphate Fertilizers Polonium- 2. It's also chemically toxic. While alpha particles cannot penetrate deeply into your body, they can cause serious damage to cells they do come into contact with. While naturally present in small amounts in the environment, one of the primary sources of exposure is via calcium phosphate fertilizers, commonly used on tobacco fields and food crops. Researchers have gone so far as to suggest that it's the radiation from these fertilizers that are the primary cause of cancer in smokers. According to a report in the journal Nicotine and Tobacco Research,1. You can also consume polonium by drinking fluoridated water, courtesy of the fluorosilicic acid used. This chemical byproduct, created during the phosphate fertilizer manufacturing process, is what is typically used to fluoridate municipal water supplies. Uranium and radium are two known carcinogens found in fluorosilicic acid used for water fluoridation, and polonium- 2. Furthermore, polonium decays into stable lead- 2. Phosphate Fertilizers Also Used in GMO Agriculture. Phosphate fertilizers are also used on food crops. And while food- borne polonium may be absorbed and react differently in your body than being inhaled, you could potentially be exposed to greater levels of this (and other) radioactive elements than previously thought, through the aggressive use of phosphate fertilizers in food production. Besides the risk of radioactive contamination, research has shown that dietary calcium phosphate has a detrimental effect on your gut health—an effect shared by glyphosate, which also decimates your gut flora. According to a 2. Journal of Nutrition: 1. Because dietary calcium phosphate (Ca. P(i)) lowers the intestinal concentration of these antimicrobial agents, high Ca. P(i) intake may enhance intestinal colonization of Gram- positive pathogens and the subsequent pathogenesis. The GMA is spearheading the efforts of these industries to prevent you from knowing the truth about what you're really eating, and control the food system at virtually any cost, it seems. Greatest Purveyors of Disease Fight to Maintain Control of the Food System. As you may recall, during last year's I- 5. GMOs in Washington State, the GMA came up with an ingenious, and illegal, money laundering scheme to protect the identity of members who donated funds to the opposing campaign. This illegal move helped them defeat I- 5. The scheme fell apart however, and the GMA was sued by Attorney General Bob Ferguson,1. As a result, the identities of the companies paying to defeat I- 5. Not surprisingly it contained the usual suspects: Pepsi, Coke, General Mills and Nestle – all primary purveyors of chronic disease. But that's not the end of the story. On January 1. 3, the Washington State Office of the Attorney General announced that the GMA has countersued the state, challenging its campaign finance laws.
