Over the years a large body of independent research has accumulated and now collectively provides a sound scientific rationale to confirm that glyphosate is far more toxic and poses more serious health risks to animals and humans than Monsanto and the US government admit. Among the many diseases and health conditions non-industry studies identified Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s and autism since Roundup has been shown to instigate aluminum accumulation in the brain. The herbicide has been responsible for reproductive problems such as infertility, miscarriages, and neural tube and birth defects. It is a causal agent for a variety of cancers: brain, breast, prostate, lung and non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Other disorders include chronic kidney and liver diseases, diabetes, heart disease, hypothyroidism, and leaky gut syndrome. In addition to lung cancer, glyphosate may be responsible for today’s growing epidemics of chronic respiratory illnesses among farm workers and their families.[6] However, these findings derive from outside the Big Agriculture industry. Private industries routinely defend themselves by positing their own research to refute independent reports. Consequently, for several decades it has been a he-said-she-said stalemate. Monsanto is content with this. It can conduct business as usual, Roundup sales increase, and the debates and media wars continue without government interference. Then who is protecting the public?

The person who owns the health food store I go to is married to a Vietnam Vet.  He is pre-diabetic and has neuropathy in his feet, to the point where he has fallen because he couldn't feel his feet.  And yes, he was exposed to Agent Orange while he served.  Guess which companies made Agent Orange, which is an herbicide?  Yup, Monsanto and Dow Chemicals.  From what little I've read, the companie's used different active ingredients, but both are toxic.

And yet, our legislators, in all their eminent glory, refuse to make it necessary to label GMOs so that we can reject certain foods from our diets.

What do they care about our health? Nothing. After all, they've given us Obamacare to fix everything they've messed up within us. Besides, our population is too big, so it won't hurt anything if they get rid of some of us.

Who cares if they get less tax dollars from not having as many money-makers? After all, they've got companies like Monsanto making up
those lost tax dollars through their political lobbying.
