Dr Sanders: Glyphosate Affects Nitrification in River Elbe Estuary
This latest study on levels of the World’s most used herbicide, glyphosate, shows that it has unexpected effects on the River Elbe Estuary in Germany. (more…)
Dr Trtikova: Unstable Bt Protein Levels in GM Crop MON810 Could Increase Pest Resistance
Scientists from Switzerland and Norway recently found in a unique study that the stress reactions of maize containing the DNA for the MON810 event are not predictable. The researchers found a large variation in the transgene expression and Bt protein content

Dr Krüger: Glyphosate Increases Birth Defects in Piglets
Glyphosate has been found in malformed piglets. The research study was conducted by a team of researchers from Germany and Egypt in collaboration with the Danish pig farmer Ib Pedersen, whose pigs were analysed for glyphosate content. (more…)
GalleryDr. Schinasi: Glyphosate Herbicides Linked to Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma
A meta-analysis has confirmed a link between exposure to glyphosate herbicides such as Roundup and non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, a type of blood cancer. (more…)
Dr Roustan: Glyphosate and Atrazine Mixture Increases Cytogenetic Toxicity
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 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 T. Bøhn: Glyphosate Accumulates in Roundup Ready GM Soybeans
Glyphosate tolerant GM soybeans contain high residues of glyphosate and its toxic breakdown product AMPA, but conventional and organic soybeans contain none of these agrochemicals, an important new study shows. (more…)
Dr Krüger: Glyphosate is Toxic to Dairy Cows
A new study by a team of scientists led by Dr Monika Krüger has revealed that Glyphosate (Roundup) is toxic to the normal metabolism of dairy cows. (more…)
GalleryDr Spisak: Complete Genes May Pass from Food to Human Blood
A new study shows that contrary to reassurances from industry and regulators, complete genes – including GM genes – can pass from food into human blood. (more…)
