glyphosate

Monsanto is receiving considerable global backlash subsequently the agrochemical and seed behemothic was establish guilty of malice and of covering the fact that their flagship product can cause cancer.

At event is glyphosate, the active chemical ingredient in Monsanto's Roundup and Ranger herbicides. For years, evidence has been mounting that glyphosate is carcinogenic, which is quite alarming considering that it is the most widely used (and overused) agronomical chemic e'er.

"Americans have applied 1.eight meg tons of glyphosate since its introduction in 1974. Worldwide, 9.4 1000000 tons of the chemical have been sprayed onto fields. For comparison, that'due south equivalent to the weight of h2o in more than 2,300 Olympic-size swimming pools. It'due south as well plenty to spray nearly half a pound of Roundup on every cultivated acre of land in the world." ~ Newsweek

Glyphosate is so prevalent in our environment that trace amounts of information technology is now found in a wide variety of consumer products, including foods and personal hygiene products, in the homo body, and in water supplies.

To some scientists and related officials, none of these products individually comprise high plenty levels of glyphosate to pose a health run a risk, however, others debate that consuming trace amounts leads to unsafe accumulations within the body, as it is known to bio-accrue in major organs and bones.

The, "EPA's high-end estimate of infant exposure to glyphosate exceeds the level the Bureau considered safety for them in 1983." [Newseweek]
