2. CANCER STUDIES LIST
Thanks to James @ethalises for posting
this list of glyphosate cancer studies on Twitter:
English: “2018: G. Andreotti et al.
found 100% increase of myeloid leukemia in farmers exposed to glyphosate. 2019:
M. Leon et al. found 36 percent increase in large B-cell lymphoma...L. Zhang et
al. found 40% increase in non-Hodgkins lymphoma.” Credits to scientific
journals not translated.
3. MEANWHILE BAYER TRIES TO SHORTCHANGE
CANCER PATIENTS
If your browser can handle Bloomberg,
you can find the full articles. Bayer blames the coronavirus, first for
stalling on offering payments to cancer patients, then for scanting.
“Bayer Effort to Settle Roundup Cancer Cases
Slowed by Covid-19 – Bloomberg ”
Here’s the latest list of brands to
boycott. These dastards don’t deserve a penny of your money!
4. INSTITUTE FOR RESPONSIBLE TECHNOLOGY
OFFERS UNPRECEDENTEDLY WEAK PETITION
Why is this petition still only 2% of
the way to its goal? Possibly because it’s so feeble. “Follow the lead of
Kellogg’s and commit to phasing out the
use of glyphosate as a desiccant”? Kellogg’s wants to keep selling you cereals
and granola bars that have had glyphosate sprayed right on the fruits, nuts,
and grain, right before they were picked and baked...and advertising this
poison as gluten-free and full of vitamins! We need to tell farmers to certify
their crops spray-free, this summer, before
we’ll handle their alleged “food”—much less eat any. Here’s the petition, if
you want to sign it, but...personally, I want farmers and food packers to go waaay beyond Kellogg’s puny non-solution.
I want to know that this year’s corn
is fit for human consumption. Otherwise, since I don’t enjoy being sick, I’ll
just have to live through another year without touching any corn. Or tomatoes.
Or apples. Or beans. Or anything else that’s not CERTIFIED GLYPHOSATE-FREE.

5. WHY SOY IS BAD
It’s not that soybeans, which are
nutritious food for humans and animals and even good for the soil, is even
causing most of the “soy allergy” reactions and various non-fun facts gathered
by those who’ve begun to wonder whether “unfermented” soy products are even
safe for humans to eat. Soybeans do contain phytoestrogens but they weren’t a
problem before glyphosate. And the EPA recently allowed use of another poison
on genetically modified soybeans...
If you’re gluten-free, you should not need to be soy-free as
well...but, currently, you do. Again, the EPA is not helping. It’s up to food
shoppers to tell food packers: “If you use soy products, make sure they’re
certified and tested 100% GMO and glyphosate-free, unsprayed, and organically
grown...Or you can just sit on sacks of
them until the Judgment Day!” Big Government is proving to be a Big
Boondoggle, but if farmers learn that they can’t sell poisoned “food,” they will stop spraying.
6. GLYPHOSATE CONTAMINATION MAPPED
No points for guessing: Places with a
lot of soy and corn fields (or tacky, outdated, Astroturf-looking “lawns”) are
places with a lot of glyphosate contamination. Though this Australian
Broadcasting news story tries too hard to be nice to the sprayers, it’s worth
reading for the sound bite at the end:
"Once
you detect the weed you can electrocute it, steam it, or pull it out, so there
are other ways of dealing with this problem."
7. HOW GLYPHOSATE HARMS OR KILLS FETAL ANIMALS
(OR HUMANS)
Many thanks to @KlausRiede for this...sneak
preview. The article’s not actually been published yet in the June 2020
journal, but you can see the summary of how Yahfoufi et al. found that
glyphosate interferes with the use of zinc and oxygen in fetal mice:
