Monsanto’s Infertility-Linked Roundup Found in All Urine Samples TestedThursday, January 26, 2012
Mike Barrett
Activist PostA recent study conducted by a German university found very high concentrations of glyphosate, a
carcinogenic chemical found in herbicides like Monsanto’s Roundup, in
all urine samples tested.
The amount of glyphosate found in the urine was staggering, with each sample containing concentrations at
5- to 20-fold the limit established for drinking water.
This is just one more piece of evidence that herbicides are, at the very least, being sprayed out of control.
Glyphosate in Monsanto’s Roundup Impacting Global HealthThis news comes only one month after it was found that glyphosate, contained in Monsanto’s Roundup, is
contaminating the groundwater in the areas in which it is used. What does this mean?

Monsanto’s Best-Selling Herbicide Roundup Linked to Infertility
Andre Evans
Activist PostA recent study has found that Monsanto’s Roundup pesticide may be responsible for causing infertility. After reviewing the many
already well-documented negative impacts Roundup has on the environment and living creatures, it is no surprise to add yet another item to the list.
Monsanto’s Best-Selling Herbicide Roundup Linked to Infertility Researchers tested roundup on mature male rats at a concentration range between 1 and 10,000 parts per million (ppm), and found that
within 1 to 48 hours of exposure, testicular cells of the mature rats were either damaged or killed.
According to the study, even at a concentration of 1 ppm, the Roundup was able to affect the test subjects by decreasing their testosterone concentrations by as much as 35%.

Monsanto's Roundup linked to deadly diseases and birth defects, most people have no ideaNatural News(NaturalNews) A recent report put together by various professors, scholars and researchers affiliated with
Earth Open Source, a collaboration group devoted to food issues, cites in great deal the multitude of peer-reviewed scientific studies which show that Monsanto's Roundup herbicide (glyphosate), which is applied to many genetically-modified (GM) crops, is responsible for causing birth defects, endocrine disruption, DNA damage, reproductive and developmental toxicity, neurotoxicity, and cancer -- and yet
government agencies around the world continue to ignore this crucial information, and withhold it from the public, as they push for its approval or expanded use...[

Roundup Birth Defects: Regulators Knew World's Best-Selling Herbicide Causes Problems, New Report Finds Huffington PostWASHINGTON -- Industry regulators have known for years that Roundup, the world's best-selling herbicide produced by U.S. company Monsanto, causes birth defects, according to a new report released Tuesday.
The report, "Roundup and birth defects: Is the public being kept in the dark?" found regulators knew as long ago as 1980 that glyphosate, the chemical on which Roundup is based, can cause birth defects in laboratory animals.
But despite such warnings, and although the European Commission has known that glyphosate causes malformations since at least 2002, the information was not made public.
Instead regulators misled the public about glyphosate's safety, according to the report, and as recently as last year, the German Federal Office for Consumer Protection and Food Safety, the German government body dealing with the glyphosate review, told the European Commission that there was no evidence glyphosate causes birth defects...[Full Article]

Study Shows Monsanto Roundup Herbicide Link to Birth DefectsA major new scientific study has confirmed growing conviction that the world’s most widely used chemical herbicide, Monsanto Corporation’s Roundup is toxic and a danger to human as well as animal organisms. The latest scientific research carried out by a multinational scientific team headed by Professor Andrés Carrasco, head of the Laboratory of Molecular Embryology at the University of Buenos Aires Medical School and member of Argentina’s National Council of Scientific and Technical Research, presents alarming demonstration that Monsanto and the GMO agribusiness industry have systematically lied about the safety of their Roundup. Roundup in far lower concentrations than used in agriculture is linked to birth defects. The health implications are huge. All major GMO crops on the market today are genetically manipulated to “tolerate” the herbicide Roundup...
