Glyphosate-based herbicides such as Roundup were shown in this study to suppress the growth of beneficial gut bacteria, leading to the overgrowth of extremely pathogenic bacteria. (more…)
GalleryDr Pleasants: Roundup Ready GM Crops Cause Monarch Butterfly Decline
Genetically engineered corn and soybeans make it easy for farmers to eradicate weeds, including the long-lived and unruly milkweed. But they might be putting the monarch butterfly in peril. (more…)
Roundup Is More Toxic than Declared – Prof. Gilles-Eric Seralini
In a new research paper published in the high ranked scientific journal Toxicology, Robin Mesnage, Benoît Bernay and Professor Gilles-Eric Séralini, from the University of Caen, France, have proven (from a study of nine Roundup-like herbicides) that the most toxic compound

Dr M. Kruger: Roundup Negatively Impacts Beneficial Bacteria
This study by scientists at Leipzig University found that the active ingredient in Monsanto’s Roundup herbicide, known as glyphosate, negatively impacted the gastrointestinal bacteria of poultry in vitro. The researchers presented evidence that highly pathogenic bacteria resisted glyphosate, whereas

Earth Open Source: Industry Studies Show Glyphosate Causes Birth Defects in Lab Animals
This study, published in the Journal of Environmental and Analytical Toxicology, reveals that industry studies on glyphosate dating back as far as the 1980s, including some by Monsanto, showed that the chemical caused birth defects in lab animals. (more…)
CRIIGEN: GM Maize and Roundup can Cause Tumours, Multiple Organ Damage and Premature Death
In a study published in “Food and Chemical Toxicology” researchers led by Gilles-Eric Seralini from CRIIGEN have found that rats fed on a diet containing NK603 Roundup tolerant GM maize or given water containing Roundup, at levels permitted in

Prof Charles Benbrook: GM Crops Increase Use of Herbicides
The latest study published by Washington State University research professor Charles Benbrook finds that the use of herbicides in the production of three genetically modified herbicide-tolerant crops — cotton, soybeans and corn — has actually increased. This counterintuitive finding

Gilles-Eric Seralini: Glyphosate is Toxic to Human Placental JEG3 Cells
This Gilles-Eric Seralini study shows that glyphosate is toxic to human placental JEG3 cells within 18 hr with concentrations lower than those found with agricultural use, and this effect increases with concentration and time or in the presence of

Dr. Don Huber: Glyphosate Associated with Increase in Cereal Diseases
In this Canadian Agricultural Research Center study glyphosate use was consistently associated with higher FHB levels caused by the most important FHB pathogens, Fusarium avenaceum and Fusarium graminearum. Cochliobolus sativus, the most common CRR pathogen, was negatively associated with previous glyphosate use,

Prof Robert J. Kremer: Glyphosate Increases Rhizosphere Bacteria
This University of Missouri study showed that the frequency of root-colonizing Fusarium increased significantly after glyphosate application during growing seasons in each year at all sites. Roots of GR soybean and maize treated with glyphosate were heavily colonized by Fusarium compared to non-GR
