Monsanto, The Most Evil Company In The World, Just Got Another Nail In Their Coffin

Monsanto, The Most Evil Company In The World, Just Got Another Nail In Their Coffin

A subgroup of the World Health Organization has just released a study that suggests that glyphosate is “probably carcinogenic to humans.” Farmers across the United States are lining up to give their testimony and medical evidence for lawsuits that are being organized in cities across the country. Roundup, widely used on everything from wheat to grass to corn, is touted as a safe herbicide with a “very good environmental profile” according to Trish Jordan of Monsanto. But consumers and health organizations feel differently and have been suggesting for years that glyphosate causes everything from autism to cancer.

Personal injury lawyers are gearing up for a mass tort action suit against the agrichemical giant, and they have the support of millions behind them. Marches against Monsanto have drawn millions of participants worldwide and dozens of countries have entirely banned the use of not only their products, but the import of any foods treated with their products. While this initial suit will ultimately focus on farm workers, a victory could open the door to further suits involving consumers of products treated with Roundup and other Monsanto chemicals.

Suits have been filed in at least 3 states threatening to prove that Monsanto knew that glyphosate causes cancer, a claim the company vehemently denies.

“Glyphosate is not a carcinogen,” company spokeswoman Charla Lord said in an emailed statement. “The most extensive worldwide human health databases ever compiled on an agricultural product contradict the claims in the suits.”

Do you believe Monsanto’s spokeswoman? Or the World Health Organization, independent researchers and millions of your fellow consumers around the world?

Opponents of the giant point to the shikimate pathway, which is disrupted or destroyed when it comes in contact with glyphosate. While animals and humans do not have a shikimate pathway, every bacteria does, and that is central to understanding how Roundup and other herbicides containing glyphosate destroy human health. By disrupting and killing bacteria found in our gut, glyphosate damages every system in our bodies and can lead to depression, Alzheimer’s, obesity, diabetes, heart disease, infertility, autism, and many other diseases.
