Glyphosate Breakdown Increases Problems of Algal Blooms
A new study from Canada finds that glyphosate breakdown releases phosphorus into water bodies in agricultural areas, contributing to the problem of eutrophication.
Eutrophication is the process whereby a body of water becomes overly enriched with minerals and nutrients, which

Glyphosate Based Herbicides are Genotoxic and Cytotoxic to Human Cells at Low Levels of Exposure
This new study from South Africa has shown that glyphosate and glyphosate-based herbicides are genotoxic and cytotoxic to human cells at the levels the human population is exposed to.
Moderate levels of glyphosate and its formulations vary in their cytotoxicity

Glyphosate Herbicides Linked to Uterine Hyperplasia at Low Concentrations
A new study from Argentina, has shown that early postnatal exposure to low doses of a glyphosate-based herbicide enhances the sensitivity of the rat uterus to estradiol, and induces histomorphological and molecular changes associated with uterine hyperplasia.
Glyphosate-based herbicide enhances the

GM Bt Toxin is Immunogenic, Allergenic, and Causes Pre-Cancerous Intestinal Changes
A new study performed in mice has found that the GM Bt toxin Cry1Ac is immunogenic, allergenic, and able to induce anaphylaxis (a severe allergic response that can result in suffocation). The responses that Cry1Ac was found to produce
