GMOs, Herbicides and Public Health

GMO Dangers becoming mainstream.

“But widespread adoption of herbicide-resistant crops has led to overreliance on herbicides and, in particular, on glyphosate.5 In the United States, glyphosate use has increased by a factor of more than 250 — from 0.4 million kg in 1974 to 113 million kg in 2014. Global use has increased by a factor of more than 10.
Not surprisingly, glyphosate-resistant weeds have emerged and are found today on nearly 100 million acres in 36 states. Fields must now be treated with multiple herbicides, including 2,4-D, a component of the Agent Orange defoliant used in the Vietnam War.”

“Mercury is an incredibly potent neurotoxin; it doesn’t take much to cause serious damage because it’s an absolute poison. If you were to take the amount of mercury in a typical thermometer and put it in a small lake, that lake would be closed down due to environmental hazards.”

One of the many ways toxins and bugs play together in our bodies.

“OPs (Organophosphates) may lead to an increase in the number of EBV-infected cells and favor the development of EBV-associated diseases.”

Organic = natural = real food.

“Metabolites representing several classes of pesticides, including OP and pyrethroid insecticides and the herbicides 2,4-D and meto- lachlor, were frequently detected (> 72%) in urine samples collected from participating children.”
