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…)
Dr Ozturk: Glyphosate Inhibits Ferric Reductase – Could Lead to Iron Deficiency
Iron (Fe) deficiency is increasingly being observed in cropping systems with frequent glyphosate applications. A likely reason for this is that glyphosate interferes with root uptake of Fe by inhibiting ferric reductase in roots required for Fe acquisition by

Dr Darren Roberts: 3.2% Mortality from Glyphosate Poisoning
601 patients were identified in this University of Peradeniya glyphosate poisoning study; the majority ingested a concentrated formulation (36% w/v glyphosate). 27.6% were asymptomatic, 64% had minor poisoning and 5.5% of patients had moderate to severe poisoning. There were 19

Birmingham City Hospital: Glyphosate Poisoning Can Lead to Death
This research from Birmingham City Hospital regarding Glyphosate shows that there is a reasonable correlation between the amount of Roundup ingested and the likelihood of serious systemic sequelae or death. Ingestion of >85 mL of the concentrated formulation is

Gilles-Eric Seralini: Roundup Causes Liver Cell Death
All the four Roundup formulations used in this University of Caen study provoked liver cell death, with adjuvants having stronger effects than glyphosate alone. (more…)
Dr Rick A. Relyea: Highly Lethal Effects of Roundup on Amphibians
This Pittsburgh University study represents one of the most extensive experimental investigations of pesticide effects on aquatic communities and offers a comprehensive perspective on the impacts of pesticides when nontarget organisms are examined under ecologically relevant conditions. (more…)
Prof Andres Carrasco: Glyphosate Causes Birth Defects in Chickens, Frogs
This study, by a team led by Prof Andres Carrasco at Buenos Aires University , found that glyphosate and Roundup cause birth defects in frog and chicken embryos at extremely low doses. (more…)
Gilles-Eric Seralini: Roundup Leads to Embryonic Cell Death
In this University of Caen study, for the first time, the toxicity mechanisms of four different Roundup formulations were studied in human cells. (more…)
