The girl told me they could not because it was a legal issue since BT is tied to a patent. The girl was really cool about it, said I was not the only call she has taken with simular questions.

(OP) User ID: 893880 United States 06/20/2013 11:12 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Are Genetically Engineered Foods Promoting Autism? “It appears there is a direct correlation between GMOs and autism.”--Arden Anderson, MD, PhD, MPH Physician Jennifer Armstrong admits, “Twenty years ago, I didn’t even know what the word autism meant. It was rare.” But then something shifted. Whether it was the food, medicine, environment, or some combination, by 2008, an astounding 1 in 54 boys suffered from autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in the US [1]. What is it that is damaging the health and well-being of so many of our children? Don Huber, PhD, professor emeritus from Purdue University, has an idea. In October 2011, Dr. Huber gave a talk in Germany about the physiological, neurological, and behavioral symptoms of pigs, cows, and rats fed genetically modified (GM) feed. After his lecture, a physician and autism specialist approached him and said, “The symptoms you describe are exactly what we are finding in our autistic children.” The animals in those studies were fed the same GM soy and corn eaten by children and adults in the US. Both crops are outfitted with bacterial genes that allow them to survive being sprayed with herbicide, which kills plants. As a result, higher residues of toxic weed killer [Roundup] end up inside our food. In addition, some GM corn varieties have an even more unsettling characteristic: their inserted genes produce an insect-killing poison called Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) toxin in every cell—and in every bite. Although the biotech seed companies like Monsanto claim that their genetically modified organisms (GMOs) are harmless, that’s not what the independent scientists are finding.

I just spent a couple of years in Walworth Wisconsin. A nice little one horse town that Kikoman Soy Sauce calls home. the town is completely surrounded by soy bean fields. I never saw so many people with cancer and other health issues. I was in a rural area outside town and the neighbors behind us and on both sides of us had COPD and two had brain tumors. Besides the Monsanto soy crops EVERYONE uses roundup and is damn proud of it. My best friend down the road lost his 38 yr old wife to brain cancer just before I got there. Roundup IS the "little sister of Agent Orange. Two generations down from Viet Nam veterans families that are born today suffer birth defects/health issues related to their grandparents exposure to Agent Orange in Nam. The offspring of Viet nam vets are being born with autism, lung disease and other health issues 50 years after the "war". Roundup has the same glyphosate's as AO. Look it up if anyone doesn't believe me. I'm in the NW Phoenix area for a little while and they saturate everything with the crap. They add turquoise food coloring to the stuff so they can tell where they've sprayed. Of course they could just bend over and pull a single weed out of the decorative stone. But nooo... Lets cause cancer, COPD and autism for generations instead. Just for aesthetics. I bring my dog to the local park every night to play. The city of Surprise totally soaks even the KID'S PLAYGROUND with the crap. By federal law wherever Roundup is applied commercially it's supposed to be posted within 100 ft of where it's sprayed. There's no signs anywhere. Because of Monsanto and HOA's, I'm impatiently waiting to blow this town. I can't stand the crap. When I was a kid and visited my grandfather in Wisconsin we would always wonder what they were going to grow in the fields around his old farmhouse. Now the only thing that can grow there is soy. Forever. They used to rotate the crops because different plants deplete the soil of different nutrients. Not no more. Plus, it causes theses little asian beetles that look exactly like lady bugs to invade all the houses by the millions. They bite, and stink when you smash them and in the basements there's piles of thousands of dead ones everywhere. I can't wait to get out of here and live in a place with legitimate farmers markets and have my own garden again too. |

Its a hormone disruptor and causes the body to store more fat and less muscle with the same caloric intake. Its also responsible for the decrease in the known testosterone and sperm count in males, which are both on average about 50% less than they were 50 years ago. I dont eat soy or wheat or corn because of this. Its almost impossible to avoid though. Almost all of our meats are fed a corn and soy based diet. |

I read an in-depth article on autism awhile back and they looked at commonalities between sufferers. There is a much higher incidence with those living near highways (spraying of weeds in ditches). There is also a much greater than normal amount tied to children who have parents (especially mothers) shampooing dogs. Of course, that's centers around an insecticide rather than an herbicide, but these every day chemicals are doing damage. Kids of soldiers who had tours in Iraq also have a higher incidence of Autism. I currently work with eight kids with autism and two of the parents are dog groomers - and one is an Iraq vet - one has a father who is a professional (TV personality) hunter who likely uses a lot of insecticide for tick control and probably comes into contact with a lot of herbicides as well. Take that to the bank. Back when I was living on the farm in Iowa where a lot of herbicides and insecticides are sprayed, what I did see were farm families was a higher than normal incidence of blood issues such as Leukemia. |

(OP) User ID: 893880 United States 06/20/2013 01:58 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | [link to dissidentvoice.org] Glyphosate and glyphosate tolerant crops Glyphosate use has gone up sharply worldwide since the introduction of glyphosate-tolerant GM crops. Herbicide use per acre has doubled in the US within the past five years compared with the first five years of commercial GM crops cultivation, the increase almost entirely due to glyphosate herbicides. Glyphosate has contaminated land, water, air, and our food supply. Damning evidence of its serious harm to health and the environment has been piling up, but the maximum permitted levels are set to rise by 100-150 times in the European Union with further hikes of already unacceptably high levels in the US if Monsanto gets its way. • Scientific evidence accumulated over three decades documents miscarriages, birth defects, carcinogenesis, endocrine disruption, DNA damage, general toxicity to cells, neurotoxicity, and toxicity to liver and kidney at glyphosate levels well below recommended agricultural use. • The major adjuvant POEA in glyphosate Roundup formulations is by far the most cytotoxic for human cells, ahead of glyphosate and its metabolite. It also amplifies the toxic effects of glyphosate. • A recent review blames glyphosate for practically all modern diseases as its general chelating action affects numerous biological functions that require metal cofactors. It is the most pervasive environmental chemical pollutant that also inhibits enzymes involved in detoxification of xenobiotics, thereby increasing their toxicity. In addition, it kills beneficial gut bacteria that prevent pathogens from colonizing the gut and promotes the growth of the pathogenic bacteria, leading to autism and other diseases. • Rats fed Roundup contaminated and Roundup tolerant maize beyond the required 90 days showed a startling range of health impacts. Females were 2 to 3 times as likely to die as controls and much more likely to develop mammary tumours. In males, liver congestions and necrosis were 2.5 to 5.5 times as frequent as controls, while kidney diseases were 1.3-2.3 times controls. Males also develop kidney or skin tumours 4 times as often as the controls and up to 600 days earlier. The harmful effects were found in animals fed the GM maize that was not sprayed with Roundup, as well as those that were, indicating that the GM maize has its own toxicities apart from the herbicide. • Livestock illnesses from glyphosate tolerant GM feed including reproductive problems, diarrhoea, bloating, spontaneous abortions, reduced live births, inflamed digestive systems and nutrient deficiencies. Evidence has also emerged of chronic botulism in cattle and farmers as the result of glyphosate use. • Glyphosate is lethal to frogs and Roundup is worse; it increases toxic blooms, and accelerates the deterioration of water quality. It use also coincides with the demise of monarch butterflies. • Glyphosate poisons crops and soils by killing beneficial microorganisms and encouraging pathogens to flourish. Forty crop diseases are now linked to glyphosate use and the number is increasing. When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro. |
