Roundup Herbicide: ‘The Most Toxic Chemical In the Environment’
When one of our world renowned professors uses the term “horrifying” in speaking about the widespread use of a chemical in our food supply, the prudent person would sit up and take notice.

That’s exactly the word Dr. Don Huber used. But are we listening? Calling glyphosate ”the most toxic chemical we’ve ever had in our environment, he says that “future historians may well look back upon our time and write, not about how many pounds of pesticides we did or did not apply, but about how willing we were to sacrifice our children and jeopardize future generations for the massive experiment we call genetic engineering that is based on failed promises and flawed science, just to benefit the bottom line of a commercial enterprise.”

Roundup is made from plants, it has a toxicity rating of 3, from a scale of 1-5(5 being the least dangerous). It is the less dangerous of all other herbicides. Also, there are no signs of roundup after two weeks.. Anyone who would use roundup in their home garden or on any other commercial farm which grows edible food is a complete fucking moron though.. It is not to be used on vegetation which is grown for consumption, only on corn crops and such that are used for fuel.

White vinegar works just as well, will kill anything you spray it on without harming the soil or animals. We use it in our pasture. A mixture of half water, half vinegar, and a tsp. of dish soap to make it stick works wonders and it's cheap. We put that mixture in a sprayer and away we go.

"Glyphosate and AMPA are not likely to move to ground water due to their strong adsorptive characteristics. However, glyphosate does have the potential to contaminate surface waters due to its aquatic use patterns and through erosion, as it adsorbs to soil particles suspended in runoff. If glyphosate reached surface water, it would not be broken down readily by water or sunlight"

Re: Roundup Herbicide: ‘The Most Toxic Chemical In the Environment’
Check his out....scientists studying 'Roundup' as cancer cure or prevention:

[link to www.greenmedinfo.com]

"Largely unbeknownst to the general public, we are in the midst of a titanic battle within the academic world between those scientists (and journals willing to publish their work) who claim that Roundup herbicide (glyphosate) is toxic and even cancer causing, and those who argue it is not only absolutely safe but that it may even make for an excellent chemotherapy agent for fighting lethal cancers.

A new study published in the journal Drug Design, Development and Therapy titled, "Glyphosate and AMPA inhibit cancer cell growth through inhibiting intracellular glycine synthesis", claims that it "provides the first evidence that glyphosate and AMPA [a glyphosate metabolite] can inhibit proliferation and promote apoptosis of cancer cells but not normal cells, suggesting that they have potentials to be developed into a new anticancer therapy."

Now, juxtapose to this study – which incidentally claims to have no conflicts of interest and is funded by the Department of Defense – one published in the journal Food and Chemical Toxicology earlier this year, titled "Glyphosate induces human breast cancer cells growth via estrogen receptors," which found that the world's most popular herbicide was capable of driving estrogen receptor mediated breast cancer cell proliferation within the infinitesimal parts per trillion concentration range."....

more on link.

All glper's would be wise to study up on true cancer cures. It's alarming that most of the populous STILL believes in the profit driven 'medical model'... it's become like a religion.

My brother-in-law used to spray their yard with Roundup all the time, for years. When I suggested he find an alternative that was less lethal, he insisted that Roundup is VERY safe and doesn't hurt humans at all.

He died three years ago of pancreatic cancer. There may be no causation but I'm just mentioning.

He was an otherwise healthy man, played tennis three times a week, never smoked, had an occasional glass of wine, ideal weight, ate lots of vegies and healthy food. No reason really for him to get cancer.
