    Glyphosphate Pesticide Cover-Up and Whitewash - Inert Hurts!

    The co-chairs of the FAO/WHO/UN committee just claimed glyphophate was safe, but their institute received over $ 1 million dollars from Monsanto and other pesticide companies. Also, researchers found that the"inert" and " secret" ingredients appear to increase the toxicity of Roundup over just glyphosphate. Pesticide companies try to keep their additives condiential as "trade secrets". Some go-getter biochemical toxicologists used mass spectrometry to figure out what the additives were! Then they tested them, and found all 6 of them were way more toxic than glyphosphate alone. " Not only did these chemicals, which aren’t named on herbicide labels, affect biological functions, they did so at levels far below the concentrations used in commercially available products. In fact, POEA — officially an “inert” ingredient — was between 1,200 and 2,000 times more toxic to cells than glyphosate, officially the “active” ingredient." POEA kills trout and frogs. POEA is banned in Germany, but the FDA will not monitor residues o food in the US. The EPA knows it is toxic. Link to Common Dreams article Link to Intercept article.
