A new study published in the Journal of Experimental Biology establishes a link between the world’s most sold herbicide Roundup and the dramatic decline in honeybee (Apis mellifera) populations in North American and Europe that lead to the coining of the

Dr Herbert: Field-Realistic Doses of Glyphosate Lead to Honeybee Starvation
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

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

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…)
Dr 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 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. George: Roundup Possesses Tumor Promoting Potential
Researchers from the Indian Institute of Toxicology Research have confirmed the carcinogenic potential of Roundup herbicide using human skin cells (HaCaT ) exposed to extremely low concentrations of the world’s best selling herbicide. (more…)
