Key Scientific Evidence in EU’s Risk Assessment of Glyphosate Herbicide Must Not Remain a ‘Trade Secret’
‘Companies who make the pesticide glyphosate refuse to disclose key scientific evidence about its possible risks in the name of trade secrets protection. CEO appeals to the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) to disclose all the possible original elements of three key scientific studies it used in assessing glyphosate as “unlikely” to cause cancer to […]

‘Finally,’ FDA Will Start Testing Food for Presence of Monsanto’s Controversial Glyphosate
‘The Food and Drug Administration will begin testing food for glyphosate, the world’s most commonly used pesticide, according to Civil Eats. This marks the first time a U.S. agency will routinely test for glyphosate residue in food. It comes after the Government Accountability Office released a report condemning the FDA for failing to disclose its […]

Global Ban on Glyphosate Called for by Portuguese Medical Association President
‘President of the Portuguese Medical Association, José Manuel Silva, is calling for a worldwide ban on Big Ag’s most used herbicide, glyphosate. With so many health concerns surrounding the chemical, its days are surely numbered. The announcement follows the World Health Organization’s Cancer research arm, the IARC, called glyphosate ‘probably carcinogenic,’ followed by the State […]

The science is settled: Glyphosate causing a wave of chronic disease across America
‘A recent study conducted by Dr. Nancy Swanson and the President of the International Federation of Organic Agriculture Movements (IFOAM), Andre Leu, has reinforced what many have been convinced of all along: glyphosate, the main ingredient in Monsanto’s herbicide Roundup, is lethal. Their correlation study determined that it’s lethal even in small amounts, debunking the […]

Monsanto Pressures WHO and California Not to List Glyphosate as a Carcinogen
‘In October, Carey Gillam reported for Reuters that California’s Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA), has been accepting public comments about its intention to list glyphosate as a cause of cancer. Roughly 8,000 comments were filed regarding the state action, according to officials, including those from Monsanto. Several farming, public health and environmental groups […]

Monsanto-hired panel disputes WHO report on ‘carcinogenic’ herbicide
‘In an effort to reassure global consumers of Monsanto’s leading product, a team assembled by the agrochemical giant is challenging the World Health Organization (WHO)’s conclusion which deemed Roundup herbicide “probably carcinogenic” to humans. In order to review the WHO’s International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) verdict, which was announced back in March, Monsanto […]

The Toxicity of Monsanto’s Glyphosate Roundup Herbicide
‘This article takes a closer look at the arguments from both parties, and reveals two strikingly different processes that led to these conflicting assessments. In short, the WHO process was transparent, stuck to conventional scientific methodology and looked at glyphosate-containing herbicides (as glyphosate is never used alone in the real world), whereas EFSA’s route was […]

How Monsanto Destroyed Rural Argentina
‘Argentinean “farm belt” communities with population of 12 million people know, perhaps more than others, the costs of becoming one of the early adopters of Monsanto’s biotech farming model. The country, historically known for its grass-fed beef industry, has undergone a profound change over the last 20 years as it transitioned into becoming one of […]

Tiny amounts of Monsanto’s Roundup in food cause kidney and liver damage, cancerous tumors
‘Long-term consumption of tiny levels of Roundup herbicide that are lower than those permitted in U.S. water supplies can lead to liver and kidney damage caused in part by changes in gene expression. This is according to a study conducted by an international group of researchers from France, Italy and the United Kingdom that was […]

MIT scientist says glyphosate is ‘the most destructive chemical in our environment’
‘There’s a really good reason why Monsanto is being called “the world’s most evil corporation.” Since 1901, some of its creations include the artificial sweetener saccharine, pesticides laced with dioxin, Agent Orange, aspartame (created by its partner, G.D. Searle) and the most toxic chemical on the planet – glyphosate. We are literally drowning in poisons […]
