Future historians may well look back and write about our time …. about how willing we are to sacrifice our children and jeopardize future generations with this massive experiment that is based on false promises and flawed science just

Scientist raises concerns about GM crops and glyphosate: Cause of diseases?
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…)
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

Gilles-Eric Seralini: Roundup Has Inhibitory Effect on Microbial Growth
The presented results from this Gilles-Eric Seralini study show that Roundup has an inhibitory effect on microbial growth and a microbicide effect at lower concentrations than those recommended in agriculture. (more…)
Gilles-Eric Seralini: Roundup Bioforce Destroys Cells in Rat Testes
This Gilles-Eric Seralini study finds that Monsanto’s glyphosate-based herbicide Roundup Bioforce® as well as glyphosate alone reduced testosterone levels in testicular cells of rats at very low concentrations; and at higher concentrations – still 10 times below agricultural use

Dr Eliane Dallegrave: Roundup is Toxic to Wistar Rats
This Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul study concludes that glyphosate-Roundup is toxic to the dams and induces developmental retardation of the fetal skeleton of Wistar rats. (more…)
