GalleryThis review shows that Glyphosate-based herbicides cause teratogenic, tumorigenic and hepatorenal effects. These effects could be explained by endocrine disruption and oxidative stress. Some effects were detected in the range of the recommended acceptable daily intake. (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

GalleryWorld Health Organization: Glyphosate Is A Probable Human Carcinogen
The World Health Organisation’s cancer agency has declared the world’s most widely used weedkiller – glyphosate – a “probable human carcinogen” in a move that will alarm the agrochemical industry and amateur gardeners. (more…)
GalleryDr. Heinemann: Roundup Can Cause Bacteria to Become Resistant to Antibiotics
Research lead by a team from the University of Canterbury, New Zealand has found that commonly used herbicides, including the world’s most used herbicide Roundup, can cause bacteria to become resistant to antibiotics. (more…)
Dr Young: Roundup Herbicide Is Endocrine Disruptor in Human Cells at Drinking Water Levels
Roundup is an endocrine disruptor and is toxic to human cells in vitro (tested in culture dishes in the laboratory) at levels permitted in drinking water in Australia, a new study has found. (more…)
GalleryDr. Lima: Glyphosate increases growth of pathogenic bacteria
This new study published in the Brazilian Journal of Microbiology indicates that the world’s most widely used herbicide – glyphosate – may be contributing to the enhanced growth of the pathogenic bacteria P. aeruginosa in our environment. (more…)
GalleryDr. Oraby: GM Soy and Maize Toxic to Rats
In this study by Egyptian scientists a diet containing GM soy and maize fed to rats for 30, 60 and 90 days caused a wide range of toxic effects, including DNA damage, abnormal sperm, blood changes, and damage to liver, kidney

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…)
Dr. 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
