Roundup Ready - A New Resistance

[FONT=&quot]Glyphosate. It is the key ingredient in "Roundup," a broad-spectrum weed killer developed by Monsanto. It has become the number one selling herbicide worldwide, due to the increase in the planting of Monsanto’s Roundup Ready Crops, which are genetically engineered to withstand multiple applications of the weed killer during the growth cycle. It is also used in residential gardens and neighborhood parks around the world. For 20 + years Monsanto has claimed that this proprietary weed killer is safe. [/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]But a host of recent studies have linked Roundup and glyphosate to an alarming number of diseases threatening animal and human health; including obesity, infertility, cancer, celiac disease, gluten intolerance, irritable bowel syndrome, autism and Alzheimer’s Disease. Also, we now understand that it is inside our bodies. More importantly, it is entering the bodies of our newborn children through breast milk.[/FONT]

Nasty stuff for sure. The sad part is most crops have been mutated to grow with it. Weeds are already becoming resistant to it and it's effectiveness shrinks every year.

This and other information makes me proud to farm Glycosate free.... I just wish my fellow farmers would get the message.

I don't even use roundup in, or around my yard anymore..

EPA was to issue a ruling on it's use some time, but I don't remember just when. Glycosate has been under revue for re licensing, required periodically.

Monsanto will not give up this fight easily, as it is the basis for Monsanto's existance.

Ironically, the auto selected ad on this Roundup bashing thread is for Roundup Ready Plus.
