    Monsanto-Bayer still selling cancer-causing Roundup to US consumers
    Email from: Organic Consumers Association <campaigns@organicconsumers.org>
    8/6/23



    "Remember when all the news headlines said Monsanto’s cancer-causing Roundup weed killer was going to be pulled from the shelves in 2023?
    Well, it’s 2023 now, and we’ve been tricked!

    TAKE ACTION: Tell your state lawmakers to ban Roundup!
    https://advocacy.organicconsumers.or...url.id=1916080

    Bayer is still selling Monsanto’s Roundup herbicide directly to consumers for home use.
    What happened?
    Bayer never took glyphosate-based Roundup herbicides off the shelves, it just began offering glyphosate-free alternatives alongside it.
    The new versions of Roundup are also toxic.
    According to Beyond Pesticides, “Roundup® Dual Action … contains the following active ingredients: triethylamine salt of triclopyr, fluazipop-P-butyl, diquat dibromide, and ammonium salt of imazapic—ingredients that are reproductive and developmental toxicants, sensitizers, and toxic to aquatic and other organisms.”

    It turns out Bayer never meant to stop selling Roundup.
    It was just buying time, time it used to buy off and infiltrate decision making bodies, while paying industry “scientists” to craft new cover-stories claiming glyphosate is perfectly safe.
    The plot got exposed in Europe, where litigation by a group of European Parliament lawmakers led to the release of 53 corporate studies, only two of which met current internationally recognized scientific standards.
    Bayer continues to poison us with their carcinogens.

    Four out of five people in the US are contaminated with glyphosate, primarily because of glyphosate residues in our food, as demonstrated by testing conducted by the Detox Project, Moms Across America and the Environmental Working Group, as well as contamination of our water.
    Cancer is just one risk of glyphosate contamination.

    Contact your state legislators to let them know how important it is to get glyphosate out of agriculture and lawn care

    "Make Your State the First to Ban Monsanto’s Roundup Weedkiller!
    In 2015, the World Health Organization confirmed that glyphosate, the main ingredient in Monsanto’s Roundup weedkiller, is a probable human carcinogen, based on strong evidence linking it to non-Hodgkin lymphoma.

    Since then, 140,000 glyphosate-exposed cancer victims have filed lawsuits against Bayer. The company is expected to pay $16 billion in jury awards and settlements by the time all the cases have been adjudicated.

    Cancer is just one risk of glyphosate contamination.

    Recent research from the UC Berkeley School of Public Health shows that childhood exposure to glyphosate is linked to liver inflammation and metabolic disorder in early adulthood, which could lead to liver cancer, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease later in life.

    Glyphosate was found in 99 percent of pregnant Midwestern women tested by the Indiana University School of Medicine between 2013 and 2016. Higher maternal glyphosate levels in the first trimester were associated with lower birth weights and higher NICU (neonatal intensive care unit) admissions.

    The good news is that glyphosate isn’t a forever chemical and it can be removed from the body.

    Glyphosate drops 70 percent after six days on an organic diet.

    Around the world legislators are taking action to protect their citizens.

    Take Action: Make your state the first in the U.S. to ban Monsanto’s Roundup weedkiller!

    *SAMPLE TEXT TO YOUR MEMBERS OF CONGRESS*

    You will be able to modify this text on the next page, after entering your information.

    Dear [Member of Congress],

    In 2015, a panel of 17 scientists at the World Health Organization’s (WHO) International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), after reviewing the latest science on glyphosate, the main ingredient in Monsanto (now Bayer)’s Roundup weedkiller, unanimously agreed to reclassify the chemical as a probable human carcinogen.

    Since then, countries around the world and localities across the U.S. have banned the herbicide. Approximately 140,000 lawsuits have been filed by Roundup-exposed cancer victims in the U.S. alone. Judging by the first verdicts and awards, Bayer will eventually be forced to pay an estimated $16 billion in compensation and punitive damages.

    The evidence that glyphosate is dangerously detrimental to human health is staggering:

    -Increased rates of non-Hodgkin lymphoma were found in occupational exposure studies of workers who handled glyphosate in the US, Canada and Sweden.

    -Cancers of the kidney, blood vessels, stomach and skin were observed in laboratory studies of rats and mice exposed to glyphosate.

    -Our bodies absorb glyphosate. This is indicated by the fact that glyphosate is found in the blood and urine of not only agricultural workers but also people in urban areas who are exposed to glyphosate through the food they eat.

    -Our intestinal microbes metabolize glyphosate just like soil microbes do. When people are poisoned by glyphosate, aminomethylphosphoric acid (AMPA), a metabolite of glyphosate that’s found in contaminated soil and water, is found in their blood.

    -Glyphosate and Roundup induce DNA and chromosomal damage in mammals, and in human and animal cells in vitro.

    -Glyphosate, Roundup and AMPA induce oxidative stress in rodents and in vitro.

    It is none too soon for our state lawmakers to respect the independent science and to honor the suffering of those of us who have or will get cancer because of exposure to Monsanto’s Roundup herbicide.

    Cancer is just one risk of glyphosate contamination.

    Recent research from the UC Berkeley School of Public Health shows that childhood exposure to glyphosate is linked to liver inflammation and metabolic disorder in early adulthood, which could lead to liver cancer, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease later in life.

    Glyphosate was found in 99 percent of pregnant Midwestern women tested by the Indiana University School of Medicine between 2013 and 2016. Higher maternal glyphosate levels in the first trimester were associated with lower birth weights and higher NICU (neonatal intensive care unit) admissions.

    Please ban glyphosate in our state!

    "BAN GLYPHOSATE
    Make Your State the First to Ban Monsanto’s Roundup Weedkiller!
    Monsanto/Bayer has duped, assaulted, injured and killed farmers, farmworkers, rural villagers and urban consumers with its reckless use of toxic chemicals and pesticides (PCBs, DDT, Agent Orange, Dioxin, Roundup, 2,4D), and genetically modified organisms (GMOs). The insidious political clout and growing control over the world’s seeds and food by Bayer/Monsanto and a new global agribusiness cartel constitute a serious, indeed catastrophic, threat to our health as well as to the health of our soils, watersheds, oceans, wetlands, forests and climate. But there is good news!

    With two recent multi million dollar awards to Roundup cancer victims from Bayer/Monsanto and another almost 40,000 Roundup-related cases in store for the chemical, biotech and seed behemoth, the timing is right to make your state the first to ban Monsanto’s Roundup Weedkiller!

    Beyond Side Affects, Drug watch

    “Kathy Spreadbury was an avid gardener. The Florida woman’s love of caring for plants and watching them grow was a passion. At one time she even had over 100 plumeria,” her husband, Paul Spreadbury, said fondly. “Papers and magazines published articles about her success and talent with plants. She worked in greenhouses, nurseries and with lawn maintenance companies.”

    That is where she was exposed to the weedkiller Roundup and its active ingredient, glyphosate — a chemical that the International Agency for Research on Cancer has deemed a probable human carcinogen.

    But Roundup was marketed as safe. Neither Kathy nor Paul Spreadbury ever imagined that something she loved would expose her to a dangerous chemical that would lead to a cancer diagnosis. After a long battle with B-cell lymphoma, Kathy Spreadbury died on Christmas Eve, 2020.”

    Glyphosate's Growing Presence in Agriculture and Its Effects on Human Health

    Understanding Glyphosate's Growing Presence in Agriculture and Its Effects on Human Health
    Analysis by Ashley Armstrong

    https://media.mercola.com/ImageServe...health-pdf.pdf

    (Bold letters my emphasis)

    "Story at-a-glance
    Glyphosate has become the most widely used herbicide in history, with usage increasing 100 to 300-fold since the late 1970s, resulting in its presence in 60% to 80% of the general population through food, water, and air exposure
    Research has shown glyphosate can accumulate in the kidney, liver, colon, and brain, cross the blood-brain barrier, and has been found in human breast milk, indicating it doesn't simply get excreted as claimed
    A two-year study found that exposure to Roundup (a glyphosate-based herbicide) at doses far below permissible levels caused organ damage and increased tumor incidence, particularly mammary tumors in female test subjects
    Glyphosate has been identified as an endocrine disruptor, showing eight out of 10 key characteristics associated with endocrine-disrupting chemicals, and can affect future generations through epigenetic changes
    Studies show switching to an organic diet can reduce urinary glyphosate levels by about 71% within six days, with the highest sources of exposure being conventional grains, processed foods, and the "Dirty Dozen" produce items

    A pesticide is any substance or mixture of substances designed to kill, repel, or control pests. Let’s break it down into the two components: The term "pest" refers to any organism (insects, weeds, rodents, fungi, bacteria, etc.) that is considered harmful or undesirable, particularly in agricultural settings. And then "-cide" is a suffix derived from the Latin word "caedere," meaning "to kill."

    It is commonly used in words to indicate something that kills or destroys, such as herbicide (kills plants), insecticide (kills insects), and fungicide (kills fungi).

    Pesticides serve as an umbrella term for substances targeting pests, with subcategories defined by the type of pest being addressed, such as herbicides for weeds, insecticides for insects, fungicides for fungi, and rodenticides for rodents.

    There are natural options that can be highly effective in controlling pests, including neem oil, pyrethrins extracted from specific flowers, rotenone derived from plant roots, diatomaceous earth, Bacillus thuringiensis (a bacteria-based solution), sulfur, garlic and pepper extracts, and copper-based compounds. Many of these options are used in organic agriculture.

    And then there are chemical agents. The types of synthetic pesticides commonly used in conventional agriculture include:

    Pesticide category Main target Examples
    Insecticides Insects Cypermethrin, chlorpyrifos, malathion, imidacloprid, and the now banned DDT
    Herbicides Weeds Glyphosate, 2,4-D, atrazine, dicamba, paraquat, glufosinate
    Fungicides Fungi, molds and mildew Mancozeb, chlorothalonil, azoxystrobin, propiconazole
    Rodenticides Rodents like rats and mice Warfarin
    Nematicides Parasitic nematodes (roundworms) Fenamiphos, oxamyl, 1,3-dichloropropene
    Bactericides Bacteria Kasugamycin, streptomycin, oxytetracycline
    Miticides/acaricides Mites and ticks Abamectin, bifenazate, fenpyroximate

    Waging chemical warfare against natural biological systems inevitably has consequences — Mother Nature will always prevail! While the widespread use of synthetic pesticides in global agriculture is driven by their ability to boost crop yields and produce cheap, abundant food.

    This chemical-dependent farming system is deeply rooted in government policies and the profit-driven business models of Big Ag corporations.

    Government subsidies, shaped by powerful agricultural lobbying, prioritize high-yield, chemical-intensive methods, which inadvertently fosters conditions that favor pesticide use, and favor chemical solutions over natural alternatives.

    This system is further entrenched by the business model of major chemical corporations. These companies develop and patent pesticides, securing exclusive rights to their products for years. This monopolistic control allows them to command premium prices and substantial profits.

    Their market power is further amplified by offering comprehensive agricultural packages that bundle pesticides with seeds and fertilizers, creating a cycle of dependency that reinforces their industry dominance.

    It is important to keep this in mind when assessing mainstream messaging about the "safety" of glyphosate and other pesticide usage — of course they don’t want you to think these are bad since that is a threat to their business model!

    Occasional pesticide use may not be that big of a deal, but our current agricultural system's heavy dependence on these chemicals has severe implications for both environmental and human health.

    In this article, let’s focus on glyphosate and why we should be concerned that it dominates our agriculture system. (There are of course problems with other pesticides, too!). The evidence as a whole suggests we need to be cautious of our long-term exposure!



    So What Is Glyphosate?
    Glyphosate is a synthetic, non-specific, systemic herbicide that kills many types of weeds and other vegetation by disrupting with the "shikimate pathway," a biochemical pathway that essential for plant survival. Since this pathway is absent in human cells, international "authorities" consider glyphosate to have no toxicity in humans. However, increasing evidence suggests otherwise.1

    Glyphosate is the active ingredient in many herbicide products, including the popular "Roundup" product. These are referred to as glyphosate-based formulations (GBFs). GBFs unfortunately contain a range of other problematic chemicals in addition to glyphosate.2 GBFs are used in agriculture, commercial, industrial, and residential settings due to its broad-spectrum herbicidal properties.

    The second most common use of glyphosate, after agriculture, is in landscape and turf management which include gardens, lawns, public spaces, parks, alongside roads and on golf courses.

    In the grand scheme of things, glyphosate is still relatively "new." And it is a common trend in industry that many things aren’t officially labeled as a "health hazard" *until* they start causing major health problems, since there’s way too much money to be made by big businesses in the meantime! (Two examples include DDT and agent orange — which weren’t banned until they were proven to cause serious health problems). Science often lags industry!

    So let’s recap briefly — In 1964, the patent was issued for use of glyphosate as a metal chelating and descaling agent to clean out mineral deposits in pipes and boilers. Then in 1971, glyphosate was patented as an herbicide after the discovery of its herbicidal properties.

    In 1974, glyphosate was first sold to farmers by Monsanto, the company that was recently acquired by Bayer. Since the late 1970s, the use of glyphosate-based herbicides has increased between 100 to 300-fold!3

    Glyphosate has become the most widely used chemical herbicide in history (for agriculture, commercial, industrial and residential settings) due to its broad-spectrum herbicidal properties. Tragically, this compound, which has been classified as a "probable carcinogen" by the International Agency for Research on Cancer,4 is now pervasive in our food, water, and air.

    The surge in global pesticide use can be traced to a fundamental shift in agricultural practices — the transition to industrial farming, particularly through the advent of genetically engineered crops in the mid-1990s. These GMO crops were engineered with a specific purpose: to either produce their own insecticides or withstand powerful herbicides, or both.

    Today, this technology dominates major crops, with approximately 94% of soybean production now using genetically engineered seeds designed to resist Monsanto-Bayer's glyphosate-based Roundup herbicide.

    Before "Roundup Ready" crops, farmers had to carefully limit herbicide application to avoid damaging their crops. But with plants engineered to withstand glyphosate, farmers could spray more frequently and intensively. Between 1990 and 2014, glyphosate use exploded from 7.7 million pounds to 250 million pounds — a staggering 1,347% increase.

    However, glyphosate's reach extends beyond just GMO agriculture through an unexpected practice: pre-harvest desiccation. So, Glyphosate isn’t just used to kill weeds — farmers have discovered they can use glyphosate as a drying agent on non-GMO crops, particularly in regions with short growing seasons and wet harvests. This "desiccation" practice involves spraying crops with glyphosate shortly before harvest to force uniform drying and enable earlier harvesting.

    Originally developed in 1980s Scotland to address unreliable grain drying conditions, the technique has spread globally, leading to a 400% increase in glyphosate use on non-GMO wheat alone over the past two decades.5

    "The herbicide, glyphosate, is applied to wheat crops before harvest to encourage ripening resulting in higher glyphosate residues in commercial wheat products within North America."6

    Desiccation has now expanded to numerous crops including barley, oats, corn, lentils, beans, chickpeas, potatoes, millet, sugar beets and others. This widespread adoption of glyphosate, both in GMO cultivation and as a pre-harvest desiccant in non-GMO crops, helps explain why the global glyphosate market is projected to grow from $10.92 billion in 2024 to $11.89 billion in 2025, representing an 8.9% annual growth rate.

    A common misconception is that "non-GMO" labeling equates to chemical-free farming. However, the "non-GMO" label only signifies that the crops have not been genetically modified; it does not address whether pesticides or herbicides were used during cultivation. In fact, pesticides are commonly applied to non-GMO crops.

    It also unfortunately means we are being exposed to much higher levels than ever before, in the food we eat and in the feed consumed by livestock.

    When animals consume grains and other feed crops treated with glyphosate, traces of the chemical can accumulate in their systems, ultimately resulting in higher levels of glyphosate residues in meat and dairy products, raising concerns about the potential health implications of chronic low-level glyphosate exposure throughout the food chain.

    Health Consequences of Glyphosate
    Now that we understand a little more of the backstory of glyphosate infiltration into the food system — what’s the big deal? Why should we care?

    Monsanto originally claimed Roundup was safe based on a 90-day trial in rats. Well, one research group wanted to put this to the test and extend this 90-day trial to two years.7 The results are very concerning!

    "Our study design was based on that of the Monsanto investigation in order to make the two experiments comparable, but we extended the period of observation from Monsanto's 90 days to 2 years. We also used three doses of GMOs (instead of Monsanto's two) and Roundup to determine treatment dose response, including any possible non-linear as well as linear effects.

    This allowed us to follow in detail the potential health effects and their possible origins due to the direct or indirect consequences of the genetic modification itself in the NK603 GM maize, or due to the R herbicide formulation used on the GM maize (and not G alone), or both ...

    We then also tested for the first time three doses (rather than the two usually employed in 90-day protocols) of the R-tolerant NK603 GM maize alone, the GM maize treated with R, and R alone at very low environmentally relevant doses, starting below the range of levels permitted by regulatory authorities in drinking water and in GM feed ...

    Our findings show that the differences in multiple organ functional parameters seen from the consumption of NK603 GM maize for 90 days escalated over 2 years into severe organ damage in all types of test diets. This included the lowest dose of R administered (0.1 ppb, 50 ng/L G equivalent) of R formulation administered, which is well below permitted MRLs in both the USA (0.7 mg/L) and European Union (100 ng/L).

    Surprisingly, there was also a clear trend in increased tumor incidence, especially mammary tumors in female animals, in a number of the treatment groups. Our data highlight the inadequacy of 90-day feeding studies and the need to conduct long-term (2 years) investigations to evaluate the life-long impact of GM food consumption and exposure to complete pesticide formulations."

    There was organ damage when the study was extended to two years at a Roundup dose far below permissible levels in the U.S. and the E.U. Additionally, tumor incidence, particularly mammary tumors in females, increased in several treatment groups.

    The results emphasize the inadequacy of short-term (90-day) studies and the importance of long-term research to fully assess the health risks of GM food and pesticide formulations. Unfortunately, there is currently no long-term data on the effects of glyphosate exposure in humans (this is pretty hard to accomplish in a well-controlled environment).

    But does this mean we shouldn’t be concerned of the alarming data in animals? NO! Just because something doesn’t immediately kill you does not make it safe. Long term chronic exposure is a huge health threat.

    And since glyphosate is present in 60% to 80% of the general population,8 we actually may be part of an ongoing, real-time experiment on its long-term health effects as we speak. Let’s dive in a little more to see what recent research says about the potential health concerns of glyphosate exposure. (There is plenty of evidence showing us it is not safe!)

    Stored in the Body/Bioaccumulates
    While many point to the fact that glyphosate is water soluble, so it is "easily excreted" by the body — they forget about these glyphosate-based-formulations where other ingredients are mixed in, such as surfactants.

    Studies show accumulation in the kidney, liver and colon9,10,11 and in human biological fluids, representing a severe human health risk.

    Studies also demonstrate that glyphosate can cross the blood-brain barrier and accumulate in the brain in a dose-dependent manner, increasing the risk of neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s.12

    The presence of glyphosate in human breast milk13 is concerning for many health experts since it suggests that this chemical, despite being ‘water soluble, is accumulating in tissues and passing through biological barriers in ways that are not well understood!

    Inflammation and DNA Damage
    There are several studies documenting that it can induce inflammation and oxidative stress in various types of cells.14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24 As a result, glyphosate can increase DNA damage, significantly increasing cancer risks25,26,27,28,29 and kidney and liver dysfunction.30,31,32,33

    Endocrine Disruption
    Glyphosate has been shown to disrupt endocrine function34,35,36 and can lead to hormonal imbalances by influencing key hormonal pathways in the body.37,38

    A 2020 review paper concluded that glyphosate exhibits eight out of 10 key characteristics associated with "endocrine disrupting chemicals," suggesting that glyphosate-based herbicides alter the biosynthesis of sex hormones.39

    Roundup concentrations in the range of 10^3 times below the "MRL" can induce endocrine disturbances in human cells.40

    Other alarming findings include that glyphosate can reduce sperm motility41,42 can interfere with protein synthesis, which can suppress spermatogenesis and cell growth,43 and decrease serum testosterone in young male rats.44

    Impacts Next Generation Through Epigenetics
    There is also data demonstrating that glyphosate not only impacts an individual’s health but also impacts the health of their descendants through epigenetic changes by interfering with normal methylation processes and gene expression.45,46

    Perinatal exposure to low doses of glyphosate formulations impaired female reproductive performance and induced fetal growth retardation and structural congenital anomalies in mammal F2 offspring.47

    Exposure to glyphosate at doses deemed "safe" for human health during gestation significantly increased anogenital distance (AGD) in both male and female rat pups. AGD is the measurement between the anus and the genitalia and is often used as a biological marker in toxicology and reproductive studies to assess the effects of endocrine-disrupting chemicals.

    Changes in AGD, particularly during development, can indicate hormonal imbalances or disruptions caused by environmental exposures, such as pesticides or other chemicals. Additionally, treatment with Roundup delayed the onset of first estrus and was associated with elevated serum testosterone levels in adult rats.48

    Disrupts Gut Health
    Regulatory agencies claim glyphosate is harmless to humans because we don’t have the shikimate pathway that glyphosate targets. Well, the microbes in our gut contain this pathway! Oops! Humans are made up of approximately 30 trillion human cells and about 39 trillion microbial cells, meaning the microbes in our gut slightly outnumber our human cells.

    Glyphosate targets the shikimate pathway by inhibiting the activity of a key enzyme in this pathway, 3-phosphoshikimate 1-carboxyvinyltransferase (EPSPS), which is present in many of the microbes in our gut, disrupting gut health and throwing off our natural gut balance.

    Glyphosate-sensitive Class I EPSPS enzymes are found in all bacteria, but its impact varies significantly among species. The Human Microbiome Project found that 732 out of 941 bacteria species in our gut have at least one copy of the gene that glyphosate targets. This means that 55% of our gut bacteria are sensitive to glyphosate, 38% are resistant, and 7% are unclassified.49




    "Commensal bacteria (the ‘good guys’) appear to be more susceptible to glyphosate, as they are more likely to possess glyphosate-sensitive Class I EPSPS enzymes than potentially pathogenic bacteria, thereby promoting dysbiosis."

    Beneficial bacteria are more likely to possess Class I EPSPS enzymes which makes them susceptible to dying off, and opportunistic pathogens in the gut are more likely to possess glyphosate-resistant Class II EPSPS enzymes, allowing them to thrive under glyphosate exposure.

    In other words — glyphosate hinders the growth of beneficial gut bacteria while promoting the growth of pathogenic bacteria, leading to dysbiosis.

    "Glyphosate residues on food could cause dysbiosis, given that opportunistic pathogens are more resistant to glyphosate compared to commensal bacteria.50

    Here, we evaluate the literature surrounding glyphosate’s effects on the gut microbiome and conclude that glyphosate residues on food could cause dysbiosis, given that opportunistic pathogens are more resistant to glyphosate compared to commensal bacteria."51



    Glyphosate is designed to kill weeds and microorganisms in the soil, but our digestive systems contain trillions of microorganisms. So yes, glyphosate and glyphosate-based-herbicides negatively impact gut health52,53,54 by inducing inflammation55 and causing dysbiosis.

    This has negative systemic implications since gut health impacts the whole body including mood, brain function, and immunity. And unfortunately, this gut impact wasn’t really considered when the "safe" human intake standards were created.

    Scientists frequently discuss how the negative gut impacts are not considered when "regulatory agencies" set the "acceptable daily intake" (ADI), which is determined by dividing the no-observed-effect-level (NOEL) by a safety factor.

    "However, only direct glyphosate toxicity was considered when determining the NOEL. Alarmingly, glyphosate’s influence over health through secondary means, such as the gut microbiome, was never considered. Given that the gut microbiome is critical for our overall health and disease susceptibility, glyphosate residues on wheat may contribute to dysbiosis, thereby affecting our overall health."56

    Compounding Impacts
    Research suggests that the health risks associated with glyphosate exposure are even more pronounced when it comes to glyphosate-based herbicides (GBHs), or "Glyphosate-Based-Formulations (GBFs)," rather than pure glyphosate,57,58,59 likely due to the cumulative toxic effects of the additional chemicals involved.

    While pure glyphosate is used in some cases, it is typically found as part of a GBH/GBF, where it is combined with other ingredients to enhance its ability to penetrate plant tissues more effectively.

    For example — it has been shown that Roundup is more toxic than glyphosate alone.60 Roundup includes the co-formulant polyethoxylated tallow amine (POEA) which has been demonstrated to have toxic effects.61,62

    The issue is further complicated by the proprietary nature of most of these GBHs/GBFs, where the ingredients and their relative proportions remain undisclosed. This lack of transparency poses a significant challenge for researchers, who are left in the dark about the specific components, their quantities, and the potential synergistic effects when these chemicals interact.

    Adding to the concern, crops are often treated with a "cocktail" of agrochemicals in industrial ag, including other herbicides alongside GBHs. For example, research has shown that glyphosate’s cytotoxic effects can intensify when combined with other herbicides, such as Paraquat.63 This synergistic interaction suggests that even low levels of glyphosate residues in our food supply could have serious health consequences when combined with other widely used agrochemicals.

    Alarmingly, this synergistic phenomenon has never been thoroughly studied, leaving a critical gap in our understanding of the full risks posed by these chemical concoctions.

    Highest Sources

    Glyphosate enters the human body through inhalation, ingestion, or contaminated food.64 And as a systemic herbicide, it is deeply absorbed by plants and moves throughout, including the roots, stems, and fruits. This means glyphosate cannot be washed off produce and isn’t broken down by cooking or heating.65,66

    So, the best strategy is to reduce exposure through mindful food sourcing when you can. Processed foods are the most likely source of glyphosate contamination, making it another compelling reason to reduce or eliminate their consumption!

    Studies consistently show that switching to an organic diet (since glyphosate is not allowed in organic agriculture) or choosing foods that are tested to be low in glyphosate, dramatically reduce glyphosate levels in the body.67,68 In one study, an organic diet intervention reduced urinary glyphosate levels by 70.93% and its main metabolite AMPA by 76.71% within six days.69 A diet higher in organic food is also associated with a reduced risk of cancer.70

    When it comes to grains, choosing organic (or knowing a chemical free, regeneratively grown source) is essential. Grains, including wheat, corn, soy, rice, oats, and beans, often contain the highest concentrations of pesticides since many are genetically modified (and thus sprayed throughout the season), and non-GMO grains are frequently desiccated with glyphosate-based-herbicides before harvest, which increases pesticide residue.

    The Environmental Working Group (EWG) routinely tests food for pesticides, and one of the highest sources tested are a common breakfast staple in many homes: Quaker Oatmeal Squares (since the oats are likely desiccated right before harvest).71 A light glyphosate bath on your breakfast cereal — yum!

    For produce, aim to buy organic whenever possible, but try to prioritize sourcing organic for the "Dirty Dozen" to reduce your pesticide exposure — the 12 fruits and vegetables with the highest pesticide residues, according to the EWG’s 2024 report,72 include strawberries, spinach, kale, collard greens, mustard greens, grapes, peaches, pears, nectarines, apples, peppers, cherries, blueberries, and lettuce.

    When it comes to meat, eggs, and dairy, if you are buying these at the grocery store — organic is the best choice. Glyphosate accumulates in eggs73,74,75,76 and glyphosate is present in the meat of cattle and in the urine of cows that consume contaminated food.77

    But better yet is getting to know your local farmer. Not all farmers can afford the organic certification process, but many are committed to sustainable, chemical-free practices. And "organic" is not required for something to be chemical free. Instead, know your farmer and ask about their farming practices!

    Supporting these farmers and farm cooperatives is a great way to make a positive impact on your health, the agricultural system as a whole, and the environment.

    Conclusion
    Regulatory agencies establish "tolerable limits" for glyphosate, but these limits overlook potential long-term and cumulative effects, fueling concerns about its safety in animal feed and the broader food chain. While some food samples may fall below the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) "allowable daily intake" (ADI) of 1.75 mg per kg of body weight, critics argue that this threshold is fundamentally flawed.

    Plus, why is the U.S. limit nearly six times higher than the European Union’s ADI of 0.3 mg per kg? Why does such a significant disparity exist?

    The ADI fails to account for recent evidence linking glyphosate to probable carcinogenicity, its pervasive presence in food and water, the evidence of severe gut disruption, and its potential role as an endocrine disruptor, which could affect hormone levels differently across various stages of human development.

    Additionally, safety tests were based only on isolated glyphosate, ignoring the compounded toxicity of commercial formulations containing other harmful chemicals. Compounding the risk, glyphosate residues from multiple food sources accumulate, amplifying exposure day to day.

    In conclusion, the widespread presence of glyphosate in our bodies, combined with regulatory gaps and the herbicide’s persistent nature in food, calls for urgent action. By being more mindful of our food choices, we can take meaningful steps to reduce exposure and protect our health from the potential long-term effects of this pervasive chemical.

    Supporting food systems that do not rely on toxic pesticides is a crucial step toward shifting agriculture from the bottom up. You can make a difference by supporting organic and regenerative farmers.

    Think of it as voting with your fork (or spoon) — you're essentially voting against the chemical-based conventional farming system!

    Real, lasting change will likely not come from the top down, as Big Ag continues to profit from harmful practices. By empowering and supporting sustainable, pesticide-free farming, we can create a healthier future for future generations to come."

    Tell Costco: Stop Pushing Toxic Roundup!
    Organic Consumers
    5/12/25
    https://organicconsumers.org/organic...content=OB+893



    "In 2019, Costco reportedly stopped selling Roundup weed killer, but now it’s back. What’s up with that? The Roundup Costco sells now has an “Exclusive Formula” where glyphosate has been replaced with other ingredients, including two, diquat dibromide and imazapic, that are banned in the E.U. It’s 45 times more toxic than the glyphosate-based version (a potent carcinogen).

    Diquat dibromide is 200 times more toxic than glyphosate. The E.U. considers it too dangerous to use. Even when workers wore coveralls, gloves, and boots, they were still exposed to three-and-a-half times the maximum acceptable level of diquat. This can cause paralysis, blindness, vomiting, irritation, convulsions, organ damage and even death.

    Imazapic‘s harms include eye irritation, muscle degeneration, liver damage, anemia, increased blood levels of cholesterol, and birth defects.

    This does not bode well for people buying Roundup at Costco—who aren’t being warned of the product’s new dangers or how to protect themselves or others. It’s crazy for Costco to sell something so toxic directly to homeowners who will unknowingly poison themselves and their neighbors.

    TAKE ACTION! Tell Costco: Stop Selling Roundup! Costco doesn’t have a publicly available email address, so the best way to submit your feedback is to call your local Costco, or the online store at 1-800-955-2292, or to communicate with them via social media on Facebook, Instagram and Pinterest. For an easy, one-click action, like and share our posts on Facebook, X and Instagram.

    Bayer CEO Warns that Company May Stop Making Roundup
    April 18, 2025
    Farm Policy News
    by Ryan Hanrahan
    https://farmpolicynews.illinois.edu/...aking-roundup/



    "The Wall Street Journal’s Patrick Thomas reported that “Roundup’s time may be up. Pharmaceutical and agriculture conglomerate Bayer said it could stop producing the world’s most popular weedkiller, unless it gets court protection against lawsuits blaming the herbicide for causing cancer.”

    “Roundup has generated tens of billions of dollars in sales over time for Bayer and Monsanto, the biotech seed giant and developer of Roundup that Bayer acquired in 2018,” Thomas reported. “Bayer currently produces about 40% of the world’s glyphosate, which farmers spray across fields to tame crop-threatening weeds.”

    “But over the past decade, the herbicide has also brought Bayer a wave of litigation, pressuring its share price and costing about $10 billion in payouts to plaintiffs,” Thomas reported. “In early March, Bayer told farmers, suppliers and retailers that it may stop selling Roundup, which would leave U.S. farmers reliant on imported glyphosate from China.”

    “‘We’re pretty much reaching the end of the road,’ Bayer Chief Executive Bill Anderson said in an interview,” according to Thomas’ reporting. “‘We’re talking months, not years.'”

    “Since taking over as Bayer’s CEO in 2023, Anderson has said one of his goals is to get the glyphosate litigation under control by 2026. He said that in some years, Roundup-related litigation expenses eclipse Bayer’s agriculture research-and-development budget,” Thomas reported. “‘We barely break even on glyphosate production and distribution, and if you then factor in litigation, you’re talking $2 billion to $3 billion in losses a year,’ Anderson said. Bayer said it brought in $2.8 billion from glyphosate sales last year.”

    Bayer Continues to Lobby State Legislatures
    Reuters’ Rachel More reported Thursday that “Bayer is lobbying U.S. states to adjust their regulations in the battle to control costly litigation targeting its herbicide glyphosate but is also prepared for a possible exit from the market, the group’s CEO said on Thursday.”

    “Facing weak earnings, rising legal costs and a lagging share price, Bayer hopes the strategy will provide it with a way to stem damages out of court, having already paid about $10 billion to settle disputed claims that Roundup, its weedkiller based on glyphosate, causes cancer,” More reported. “‘We’re making this case to lawmakers, and we appreciate the bi-partisan support we see,’ Chief Executive Bill Anderson said in a transcript of his speech for the company’s annual shareholders’ meeting on April 25.”

    “Georgia and North Dakota have already passed legislation, Anderson said, adding: ‘we hope other states follow their lead,'” More reported. “Bills recently passed in both states on pesticide labelling have yet to be passed into law by the governors.”

    Bayer Has Even Approached the Supreme Court
    The Associated Press’ David A. Lieb reported at the beginning of April that “global agrochemical manufacturer Bayer has asked the U.S. Supreme Court to decide whether federal law preempts thousands of state lawsuits alleging it failed to warn people that its popular weedkiller could cause cancer.”

    “Bayer’s new request to the nation’s highest court comes as it is simultaneously pursing legislation in several states seeking to erect a legal shield against lawsuits targeting Roundup, a commonly used weedkiller for both farms and homes,” Lieb reported. “Bayer disputes the cancer claims but has set aside $16 billion to settle cases and asserted Monday that the future of American agriculture is at stake.”

    “In a court filing Friday, Bayer urged the Supreme Court to take up a Missouri case that awarded $1.25 million to a man who developed non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma after spraying Roundup on a community garden in St. Louis,” Lieb reported. “The federally approved label for Roundup includes no warning of cancer. Bayer contends federal pesticide laws preempt states from adopting additional labeling for products and thus prohibits failure-to-warn lawsuits brought under state laws.”

    “The Supreme Court in 2022 declined to hear a similar claim from Bayer in a California case that awarded more than $86 million to a married couple,” Lieb reported. “But Germany-based Bayer, which acquired Roundup maker Monsanto in 2018, contends the Supreme Court should intervene now because lower courts have issued conflicting rulings.” "

    Institute for Responsible Technology PO Box 469 Fairfield, IOWA 52556 USA

    "You've likely read about the Global Glyphosate Study, the most comprehensive study ever conducted on glyphosate, in our recent newsletters. The study's only UK based contributor, Professor Michael Antoniou (Professor of Molecular Genetics and Toxicology at Kings College London), presented the results and consequences of the study in an exclusive webinar.
    A recording of the PAN UK webinar is now available to watch and share.
    The study confirms that glyphosate and glyphosate-based herbicides cause multiple types of cancer, even at exposure levels deemed to be “safe” by the EU. It was coordinated by the Ramazzini Institute in Italy and involved scientists from the US, South America and Europe.
    In response to this landmark study, the European Commission has said it will review the new data and “act immediately to amend or withdraw the approval” of glyphosate if it “no longer meets” the EU’s safety standards. This decision would have huge implications in the UK and beyond.
