Monsanto may get the WHO to retract the Roundup cancer link study, I don’t know but they are not going to do anything to win the hearts and minds of the purchasing public with performances like this..

Monsanto Weedkiller Is "Probably Carcinogenic," WHO Says
Which is to be expected..There has been along controversy about this. Heck, there is still a controversy about Agent Orange—created of course by the same folks who now give us GMO food and products to kill the bugs that used to feast on growing plants..
While doing some searching for other peer reviewed science that may back up these most recent WHO findings, I found this article from 2013 appearing in the HUFFINGTON POST, lashing out at those who are critical of Monsanto based on ‘bad science.’ I wonder how much more ‘bad science’ has to happen before we listen.. before the butterflies stop dying.. before cancer rates start falling.. and before we eat good honest food again..

IS THIS PRODUCT CAUSING INCREASED CASES OF AUTISM, PARKINSON’S, AND ALZHEIMER’S DISEASE?
A new study is linking Monsanto’s Roundup weed killer with major effects on the human body..
Monsanto is calling the study bogus and bad science. But hell, what else but that could they say??
Here is the science of it, as reported by NATIONOFCHANGE.ORG:
Glyphosate impairs the cytochrome P450 (CYP) gene pathway, which creates enzymes that help to form and also break down molecules in cells. There are myriad important CYP enzymes, including aromatase (the enzyme that converts androgen into estrogen) and 21-Hydroxylase, which creates cortisol (stress hormone) and aldosterone (regulates blood pressure). One function of these CYP enzymes is also to detoxify xenobiotics, which are foreign chemicals like drugs, carcinogens or pesticides. Glyphosate inhibits these CYP enzymes, which has rippling effects throughout our body.
Interestingly, though, Monsanto isn’t the sole company that has the rights to use glyphosate .. They did create it, but their patent on it expired in 2010. To maybe it’s unfair to blame them solely if glyphosate truly does have these effects on human beings—at least post 2010.
However, Roundup is a big seller worldwide..
It’s fast action.
It kills weeds and roots.
And it has a beautiful color that looks very friendly to nature.
This story suggests the ingredient glyphosate is quite the opposite of healthy and wholesome..
