German Scientist find Monsanto's roundup in all urine samples tested

[Ichingcarpenter]

A recent study* conducted by a German university found very high concentrations of Glyphosate, a carcinogenic chemical found in herbicides like Monsanto’s Roundup, in all urine samples tested. The amount of glyphosate found in the urine was staggering, with each sample containing concentrations at 5 to 20-fold the limit established for drinking water. This is just one more piece of evidence that herbicides are, at the very least, being sprayed out of control.

1. Glyphosate is not carcinogenic

[dipsydoodle]

2. It does however cause other harm

to human body cells.

4. Right. It's an Endocrine disruptor.

It's also a woo site promoting HARP conspiracy.

The original article has some great info tho

The detection of glyphosate is not easy and can now be carried out only in a few specialized laboratories. Glyphosate in soil is strongly adsorbed to soil particles. It affects good bacteria and kills algae. This can be enhanced multiply phytopathogenic fungi, and it can be used for determination of micronutrients, especially manganese, and thus lead to deficiency diseases. A similar effect is suspected in the digestive tract of animals and humans. Whether and to what extent this results in health effects is so far not been fully elucidated. Glyphosate can sometimes affect the microflora in the gastrointestinal tract of humans and animals. The gradual negative changes in the intestinal microflora most likely to have long term health consequences, such as initial studies have feared.

Glyphosate is increasingly suspected to impair fertility and embryonic development of humans and animals. For example, fertility problems have been observed in cattle. Glyphosate is also suspected of encouraging people with certain cancers of the lymphatic system and to promote the development of skin tumors. Enters the digestive tracts of animals and humans with glyphosate, a time bomb caused by other disorders, such as poor or unbalanced diet and stress, can be brought to ignition (see summary of scientific studies on health risks from glyphosate , see also the ARD report "Monsanto poison in the field" ).

In early 2009, Prof. Gilles Seralini and prove his team at the University of Caen (see here ) that even small amounts of Roundup to the destruction of human cell cultures. Seralini concluded that stress, which can typically be expected as residues in crops with Roundup sikkatiertem and thus in the human or animal consumption, and lead to cell damage.

5. Awful.

Gotta have that perfect golf-course lawn! Too lazy to pull weeds by hand. Let's soak the world in chemicals instead.

6. "Monsanto continues to make the claim that their Roundup products are completely safe

for both animals and humans."

I'd like to see their executives chug a bottle of it.
