Glyphosate may be linked to liver disease epidemic, study warns. Soaring rates of chronic liver disease match #glyphosate rise. Even small increases in glyphosate exposure may have significant health impacts, researchers say. https://usrtk.org/healthwire/glyphosate-linked-to-liver-disease-epidemic/

The Luxon Government is planning to INCREASE the amount of glyphosate residue that's allowed in some of our staple foods by up to 100 times!

'Parkinson's is a man-made disease.' Superb article on a brilliant and courageous clinician and researcher, and why our regulatory system is failing to protect us. "Parkinson's was a v rare disease until the early 20th century," says Bas Bloem, a globally recognized expert on the care and cause of Parkinson's disease. 'Then with the agricultural revolution, chemical revolution, and the explosion of pesticide use, rates started to climb.' #paraquat #glyphosate https://www.observatoiredeleurope.com/parkinsons-is-a-man-made-disease_a69901.html

En Isère, la famille Grataloup sereine face à Bayer, qui réfute toute responsabilité

L’audience qui s’est tenue jeudi 3 avril au tribunal de Vienne (Isère) a donné à entendre les deux parties dans l’affaire qui oppose la famille de Théo Grataloup, né avec de lourds handicaps, au fabricant de #glyphosate. Le jugement sera rendu en délibéré le 31 juillet.

Obtenir réparation. Mais pas seulement.
"Si le comportement fautif de Bayer est démontré, cela pourrait aider d’autres victimes dans leurs démarches judiciaires, comme les riverains touchés par les épandages dans les champs", m'a dit Sabine Grataloup à la veille d’un procès qui s’ouvre demain à Vienne, en Isère.
Elle assigne #Bayer (ex #Monsanto) en justice pour avoir été exposée, pendant sa grossesse, au #glyphosate. Son enfant est né avec de graves malformations.

Monarch populations have begun dropping significantly due to loss of their primary host plant, the milkweed. This loss is caused by a widespread use of herbicides in agriculture, specifically #glyphosate on #GMO crops. https://ungvanguard.org/41298/news/monarch-butterfly-populations-drop-linked-to-habitat-loss-and-pesticides/

Cancer-Gag Acts: New EPA rule would stop US states from making stronger pesticide protections than those set by the EPA!! It also shields pesticide makers—like Bayer-Monsanto—from pesticide harm lawsuits. Please stop this disastrous rule and protect communities! #pesticides #glyphosate https://action.centerforfoodsafety.org/a/pesticidepre25

A literature review summarizes the findings of 85 studies, through 2024, on the effects of glyphosate on womens health, including possible epigenetic effects.

start buying organic.

glyphosate is applied across the midwest. this stuff is poisonous to humans (#alzheimers) and decimates habitats for milkweed, by design - the primary food source for monarchs

US farmers spray hundreds of millions of pounds of this stuff each year on its territory

buy organic

Bayer is lobbying to change US laws so it has legal immunity from #glyphosate lawsuits. Now it's had its first success in the US state of Georgia, where both the House and Senate have approved giving it immunity, following heavy lobbying by Bayer. With the change in state law, lawsuits over alleged health risks from glyphosate now have virtually no legal basis in Georgia, according to US industry circles. Bayer is also lobbying Trump for immunity at the federal level. https://www.handelsblatt.com/unternehmen/industrie/chemiekonzern-bayer-erzielt-wichtigen-etappensieg-bei-abwehr-von-glyphosat-klagen/100113599.html

The Plan To Make America Hazardous Again. Trump’s EPA wants to stop states from warning people about potentially dangerous chemicals sprayed on their food. One of the warnings that could be banned under the rule would be information about #glyphosate https://www.levernews.com/the-plan-to-make-america-hazardous-again/

Researchers at the University of Oregon found that the rollout of genetically engineered corn in the early 2000s, followed by exponential increases in #glyphosate based herbicides, “significantly reduced average birthweight and gestational length.” #GMO https://beyondpesticides.org/dailynewsblog/2025/02/exposure-to-glyphosate-herbicide-adversely-affects-neonatal-health-study-finds/

Connell Park is currently undergoing redevelopment.
The park is the shire's primary sporting facility.
Various herbicides were used in the sport field construction. >>

The following herbicides were used:
• Glyphosate
• Halosulfuron-Methyl
• Metsulfuron Methyl

Common weed killer may be harming infants https://www.science.org/content/article/common-weed-killer-may-be-harming-infants

Study links increased glyphosate exposure to harmful effects on infant health. "Prior to 1996, the data show that trends in two birth outcomes, birthweight and gestation, remained quite similar in counties less and more suitable for #GMO crops. However, after 1996 infant health deteriorated sharply in counties more suitable for those crops. Rubin and Reynier attribute that relative deterioration to the change in #glyphosate use caused by the introduction of GMO seeds." https://www.news-medical.net/news/20250121/Study-links-increased-glyphosate-exposure-to-harmful-effects-on-infant-health.aspx

Common herbicide glyphosate significantly harms infants’ health in rural areas, new research suggests. Spurred by the introduction of #GMO seeds by #Monsanto in 1996, the use of #glyphosate in the US has increased by more than 750%. "Our findings, combined with other recent work, challenge the prevailing regulatory position that GM crops and their associated agricultural practices are safe—and even beneficial—for health." https://usrtk.org/healthwire/glyphosate-harms-infants-health-in-rural-areas/

Big mystery, eh? Um, maybe consider that #RoundUp / #Glyphosate is altering the #microbiomes? smh...

"The drivers of young-onset #colorectal cancer are not well understood. Some believe that the rise is due to risk factors such as obesity and diabetes. Others believe it may be related to a change in the microbiome (the unique bacterial mix that lives in our bodies), or to antibiotic exposure and dietary choices. We just do not really know the cause. "
