'Roundup' Weed Killer - Glyphosate - now found in people's urine - at high concentrations!

Get goats. Very effective.

oh 'scientistics' say so, dats why! What herbicide do you recommend, I'm on 16 acres, but say you had 200 acres, what herbicide do you endorse?

No, I don't want livestock.

What ever happened to just pulling out the weeds by the roots?

I dont use any of these products at my home...no way.

Yet for $1.15 you can buy 2L of white vinegar, which is safe for humans to consume yet can kill weeds just as effectively as glyphosphate.

Then why isn't it used on a 200 acre farm?

According to an article in German in the Ithaca journal, a German university study has found significant concentrations of glyphosate in the urine samples of city dwellers.

The analysis of the urine samples apparently found that all had concentrations of glyphosate at 5 to 20-fold the limit for drinking water.

As well as being used increasingly widely in food production, glyphosate-based weedkillers often also get sprayed onto railway lines, urban pavements and roadsides.

Glyphosate, the main ingredient of most commercial herbicides.

It poisons not only plants but also animals and humans slowly.

At a German university Urine samples of the urban population were examined for contamination with glyphosate.

All samples showed significant concentrations of the herbicide active ingredient, they were around the 5 to 20 times above the limit of drinking water.


News of this study comes not long after the publication of a study confirming glyphosate was contaminating groundwater.

Last year also saw the publication of two US Geological Survey studies which consistently found glyphosate in streams, rain and even air in agricultural areas of the US.

Roundup herbicide found in air, rain, and streams

BACKGROUND: Glyphosate [N-(phosphonomethyl)glycine] is a herbicide used widely throughout the world in the production of many crops and is heavily used on soybeans, corn and cotton.

Glyphosate is used in almost all agricultural areas of the United States, and the agricultural use of glyphosate has increased from less than 10 000 Mg in 1992 to more than 80 000 Mg in 2007.

The greatest intensity of glyphosate use is in the midwestern United States, where applications are predominantly to genetically modified corn and soybeans.

Cool! So I can take a whiz on my neighbor's lawn and burn vulgar symbols into the grass?

Prove that glycophosphate is dangerous, where is your proof?

Then why isn't it used on a 200 acre farm?

Same here. I am also grateful to live at the top of a hill so all the crap neighbors put on their yards does not run off onto my organic garden. As for contaminated rain & groundwater -- crap!

This shit needs to be illegal & there is absolutely NO reason any of this should be permitted for residential uses. So the yard does not look like a golf course? Would cares! I prefer a healthy family over a wasteful, toxic green lawn!

Will my water distiller remove this chemical, if present, from my drinking water? I can't get a definate answer. It does seem to be a phosphate related compound, which would mean yes it is removed. Anyone know?

...

More city dweller bullshit, there's a goat rental agency in every rural area, they deliver and pick up, LOL.

Thanks for posting this OP...we need to get the Monsanto word out. Amazing how the FDA will come down on farmers who sell organic food and animal products....but look the other way when we're slowly poisoned and our stomachs explode from GMO's. What's even more shocking is more than 50 countries including Germany, France and Italy have banned or restricted GMO products in their countries while the U.S. doesn't even require GMO labeling! Something very wrong....

Is glyphosphate (N-phosphonomethyl glycine) ONLY in the drinking water?
Or is it also present in the grown GeneModified-RoundUp-Ready-Crop that's harvested and put to human comsumption?

If it isn't found in nature at the same levels we are consuming, then it is harmful.

Live a rule by the land, nature is always been the better choice.

People believed infant formula was better for the newborn. Now we learn breastmilk is the best for an infant (obvious).

This is how products are sold. False science says they are safe and just before the product does any substantial damage across a large population, new science will claim it is harmful.

So the corporations dump toxins on us and then just when we had enough, they pull it off the shelves for a new poison to sell to us.

Nature is far better for us.

Yet for $1.15 you can buy 2L of white vinegar, which is safe for humans to consume yet can kill weeds just as effectively as glyphosphate.

I use it all the time, buy it regularly, it's one of the least toxic herbicides. Jeeeez you'd think it was Agent Orange the way Doorbert carries on.

I dont know thats true.Many things are found in nature thats deadly.
Here is a link to the story I mentioned in my previous post.
Texas drinking water makes pipes and plumbing radioactive

Now that radiation occurs naturally but it makes people sick.

Solution:

2 gallon pack of distilled vinegar.
2 gallon sprayer

Both can be found at the local big-box.

Spray the weeds on a nice, sunny day and they will not come back.

Really, this will work just as well as Roundup for a fraction of the cost and the environment will benefit.

It is very easy to test whether "radioactivity" is natural or unnatural. Is is isotopes of cesium, iodine, uranium, etc etc contaminating the pipes? Radioactive particles can be identified.

maybe some lab should test it and they could identifiy the origin of the "radioactivity"?

The "they do it so it's ok for me to do it too" type argument is ridiculous.

To say "it's just as bad as something else so therefore it's OK" is an idiotic argument.
