A new correlation study has been published in the Journal of Organic Systems has linked the world’s number one herbicide, glyphosate, to a huge increase in the incidence of chronic diseases across the United States.

Abstract:
A huge increase in the incidence and prevalence of chronic diseases has been reported in the United States (US) over the last 20 years. Similar increases have been seen globally. The herbicide glyphosate was introduced in 1974 and its use is accelerating with the advent of herbicide-tolerant genetically engineered (GE) crops. Evidence is mounting that glyphosate interferes with many metabolic processes in plants and animals and glyphosate residues have been detected in both. Glyphosate disrupts the endocrine system and the balance of gut bacteria, it damages DNA and is a driver of mutations that lead to cancer. In the present study, US government databases were searched for GE crop data, glyphosate application data and disease epidemiological data. Correlation analyses were then performed on a total of 22 diseases in these time-series data sets. The Pearson correlation coefficients are highly significant (< 10-5) between glyphosate applications and hypertension (R = 0.923), stroke (R = 0.925), diabetes prevalence (R = 0.971), diabetes incidence (R = 0.935), obesity (R = 0.962), lipoprotein metabolism disorder (R = 0.973), Alzheimer’s (R = 0.917), senile dementia (R = 0.994), Parkinson’s (R = 0.875), multiple sclerosis (R = 0.828), autism (R = 0.989), inflammatory bowel disease (R = 0.938), intestinal infections (R = 0.974), end stage renal disease (R = 0.975), acute kidney failure (R = 0.978), cancers of the thyroid (R = 0.988), liver (R = 0.960), bladder (R = 0.981), pancreas (R = 0.918), kidney (R = 0.973) and myeloid leukaemia (R = 0.878). The Pearson correlation coefficients are highly significant (< 10-4) between the percentage of GE corn and soy planted in the US and hypertension (R = 0.961), stroke (R = 0.983), diabetes prevalence (R = 0.983), diabetes incidence (R = 0.955), obesity (R = 0.962), lipoprotein metabolism disorder (R = 0.955), Alzheimer’s (R = 0.937), Parkinson’s (R = 0.952), multiple sclerosis (R = 0.876), hepatitis C (R = 0.946), end stage renal disease (R = 0.958), acute kidney failure (R = 0.967), cancers of the thyroid (R = 0.938), liver (R = 0.911), bladder (R = 0.945), pancreas (R = 0.841), kidney (R = 0.940) and myeloid leukaemia (R = 0.889). The significance and strength of the correlations show that the effects of glyphosate and GE crops on human health should be further investigated.
Why not ban the using of glyphosate totally and it causes damaged to our health???
To answer the above question – because banning it would be too sane! Big businesses don’t really care about public health and well-being. The paper states that genetically engineering food has led to an ever-increasing use and need for use of yet more pesticides. It seems that if one wants to have a better change of being healthy, one should not count on companies or governments for their ultimate protection, but must take charge of seeking out non-gmo foods and meat and dairy products that are certified organic. It would also be a good idea to write to your elected representatives to express your concern and prompt for appropriate action.
these companies do not care about people health all they care about is monopoly on seed. than they can charge whatever they want for seeds. the rest of the world is banning gmos and glyphosate because of health and environmental disasters in their counties.
I was sick my kidneys were failing and I had +4 poring edema the doctors could not find a cause so I did research myself and learned how harmful gmos were. 3 days of eatting organic food and I was released from the hospital. The doctors never once asked me what I ate. Americans are a science experiment in a world full of greed. We just finally were able to get some things labeled. We’ve been eatting this for years and didn’t even know we were being poisoned. From my research I gathered looks like Monsanto the owner of the pesticides and gmo seeds had a meeting with president bush and paid him off to allow gmos to be produced without safety testing. He also paid off President Clinton and helped to fund Hilary Clintons running for president. The President Obama must have got a lot of $ bc he actually signed the Monsanto protection act to keep Monsanto from being held liable for any adverse effects from his Franken seeds. I take massive amounts of organic vitamins every day bc I still notice my immune system I really thought I was going to die. Its the first time I’ve ever wanted to move to a different country. Our government failed to protect us
Katie, several years ago I was feeling poorly and talked to my doctor about it. She ordered labs and they indicted marginal renal function, elevated triglycerides, high blood pressure and out of whack cholesterols. My doctor said that it was due to high carbohydrate diet which was not the case. When I learned these symptoms were indicative of roundup poisoning she would not hear it. I also developed wheat and peanut allergies, various skin maladies, and swelling of lymph nodes.
The medical system does not recognise glyphosate poisoning because they re paid to look the other way.
The Posionning of America is a sad tale…of greed corruption and evil at work…The unconsiousness leading us who knows where…i don’t know if these eveil entities are successfully implementing a depopulation agenda …if so seem to be working …SICK care is overwhwelmed by all theses chronic diseases that are now Killing america and the mdecial community is just …well doing …perhaps some waking up?…bravo to the Pioneers revealing these shocking truths..GMO REVEALED was a docu series just ending it’s re run….google GMO REVEALED and get informed …found this great study referred to HERE in episode #10 Bravo for your work..
God Helps us ALL …cuzz the governements won’t
