Monsanto’s Infertility-Linked Roundup Found in All Urine Samples Tested
Mike Barrett NaturalSociety January 26, 2012
A recent study conducted by a German university found very high concentrations of Glyphosate, a carcinogenic chemical found in herbicides like Monsanto’s Roundup, in all urine samples tested. The amount of glyphosate found in the urine was staggering, with each sample containing concentrations at 5 to 20-fold the limit established for drinking water. This is just one more piece of evidence that herbicides are, at the very least, being sprayed out of control.
Glyphosate in Monsanto’s Roundup Impacting Global Health
This news comes only one month after it was found that glyphosate, contained in Monsanto’s Roundup, is contaminating the groundwater in the areas in which it is used. What does this mean? It means that toxic glyphosate is now polluting the world’s drinking water through
the widespread contamination of aquifers, wells and springs. The recent
reports of glyphosate showing up in all urine samples only enhances
these past findings.
Monsanto continues to make the claim that their Roundup products are
completely safe for both animals and humans. However many
environmentalists, scientists , activists, and even doctors say
otherwise. Glyphosate radically affects the metabolism of plants in a
negative way. It is a systemic poison preventing the formation of
essential amino acids, leading to weakened plants which ultimately die
from it.
A formula seems to have been made to not only ruin the agricultural
system, but also compromise the health of millions of people worldwide.
With the invent of Monsanto’s Roundup Ready crops, resistant superweeds are taking over farmland and public health is being attacked. As it turns out, glyphosate is also leaving behind its residue on Roundup Ready crops, causing further potential concern for public health. Glyphosate is even contributing to escalating rates of mental illness and obesity through the depletion of beneficial gut flora that directly regulates these functions. But it certainly doesn’t stop there.
Researchers tested roundup on mature male rats at a concentration
range between 1 and 10,000 parts per million (ppm), and found
that within 1 to 48 hours of exposure, testicular cells of the mature
rats were either damaged or killed. Even at a concentration of 1 ppm, the Roundup was able to affect the test subjects by decreasing their testosterone concentrations by as much as 35%.
Note: You will need to translate the study to English via one of the many translators available.
