This French study shows that a mixture of 4 pesticides (glyphosate, atrazine, aminomethyl phosphoric acid (AMPA), desethyl-atrazine (DEA)) exhibited the most potent cytogenetic toxicity, which was 20-fold higher than those of the most active compound AMPA, and 100-fold increased after

Dr Roustan: Glyphosate and Atrazine Mixture Increases Cytogenetic Toxicity
Dr Cattani: Roundup Causes Toxic Damage to Rat Brains
This new Brazilian study reveals a hitherto unknown mechanism behind how the glyphosate-based Roundup herbicide harms rat brains. The results demonstrated that Roundup might lead to excessive extracellular glutamate levels and consequently to glutamate excitotoxicity and oxidative stress in rat

GalleryDr Gassmann: Western Corn Rootworm Resistant to Bt Toxin in GM Maize
According to a team led by Aaron Gassmann, an entomologist at Iowa State University in Ames, in some Iowa fields a type of beetle called the western corn rootworm (Diabrotica virgifera virgifera LeConte) has developed resistance to two of the

Dr Krüger: Chronically Ill Humans Have Higher Glyphosate Levels than Healthy Humans
This German based new study concludes that Glyphosate residue could reach humans and animals through feed and excreted in urine. Presence of glyphosate in urine and its accumulation in animal tissues is alarming even at low concentrations. (more…)
GalleryDr Jayasumana: Roundup Has Destroyed Renal Tissues of Thousands of Farmers
A new study published in the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health proposes a link between the herbicide known as Roundup (aka glyphosate) and a series of mysterious epidemics of fatal chronic kidney disease of unknown origin (CKDu) affecting several poor

Dr Mercurio: Glyphosate is Most Resistant to Biodegredation in Sea Water
In this unique study in Australia scientists have shown that Glyphosate (Roundup) primarily in GM agriculture, is particularly resistant to biodegradation in sea water, and could therefore be a major contributor to the decline of marine coral reef systems such

Dr Agapito-Tenfen: Bt MON810 GM Maize Not Substanially Equivalent to Non-GM Maize
This Brazilian study showed differences between conventional maize and a Monsanto transgenic maize MON810, of the Bt type (modified to produce insecticidal toxins and kill the caterpillars that eat it). Comparison of the GM and non-GM plants revealed a total

Dr El-Shamei: GM Maize Causes Death of Spermatogonial Cells
In this Egyptian study, histopathological examination was carried out on the rats fed the GM maize, and the results were compared with rats fed non-GM maize. The study found clear signs of organ pathology in the GM-fed group, especially

Dr Gab-Alla: GM Maize Toxic to Rats
This study by scientists at Suez Canal University examined the effects on rats of a diet containing the GM maize. The study found that the GM corn diet caused increased or decreased organs/body weight or changes in blood biochemistry

Dr Abdo: Bt Corn Not Substantially Equivalent to Non-GM Parent
This study by scientists from Alexandria University showed that the GM corn was not substantially equivalent to the non-GM parent. (more…)
