Did Not Believe Me About RoundUp? You Don’t Wish To – It’s Convenient? You Should Read This!

By Janet Vargas - Independent Natural Researcher 30+ Yrs

Honestly Folks, you should give yourself the chance to be better Informed. You like to be Informed about Some Things but Not RoundUp? I can tell you this: It may Spare You Health Issues OR Explain Some Health Issues. Maybe you should address Your Doubts with a Dose of Truth. You will say to yourself "Thank Goodness I Did"…………I'm trying to Help You and Your Family. Read On!

To start with, did you hear what Guardian wrote in an Article called
One Man's Suffering Exposed Monsanto's Secrets to the World? It reads:

It was a verdict heard around the world. In a stunning blow to one of the world’s largest seed and chemical companies, jurors in San Francisco have told Monsanto it must pay $289m in damages to a man dying of cancer which he claims was caused by exposure to its herbicides.

Monsanto, which became a unit of Bayer AG in June 2018, has spent decades convincing consumers, farmers, politicians and regulators to ignore mounting evidence linking its glyphosate-based herbicides to cancer and other health problems. The company has employed a range of tactics – some drawn from the same playbook used by the tobacco industry in defending the safety of cigarettes – to suppress and manipulate scientific literature, harass journalists and scientists who did not parrot the company’s propaganda, and arm-twist and collude with regulators. Indeed, one of Monsanto’s lead defense attorneys in the San Francisco case was George Lombardi, whose resumé boasts of his work defending big tobacco.

Now, in this one case, through the suffering of one man, Monsanto’s secretive strategies have been laid bare for the world to see. Monsanto was undone by the words of its own scientists, the damning truth illuminated through the company’s emails, internal strategy reports and other communications.

The jury’s verdict found not only that Monsanto’s Roundup and related glyphosate-based brands presented a substantial danger to people using them, but that there was “clear and convincing evidence” that Monsanto’s officials acted with “malice or oppression” in failing to adequately warn of the risks.

A History of Monsanto and Glyphosate

Founded in 1901, Monsanto is an agrochemical company selling genetically modified (GMO) seeds and pesticides. In the early 1900s, Monsanto began creating and selling chemicals and other products such as saccharin, aspirin, detergents, and cleaning products. By the mid-1900s, Monsanto began selling insecticides and other agricultural products, and in 1974, Monsanto created Roundup, a popular household weed killer containing the herbicide glyphosate.

In 1996, Monsanto created the first GMO soybean seed, which was genetically engineered to be resistant to glyphosate. When farmers spray Monsanto’s Roundup, which contains glyphosate, on their crops (grown from Monsanto’s seeds), they are able to kill pests and weeds without killing their crops.

For years, glyphosate was used by farmers and consumers. Because it was and still is so widely used, glyphosate is found in the air, rain, soil, and even in human urine, according to a study conducted by researchers at the University of California, San Diego. It is also found in a large portion of the food supply in the United States, including oats, corn, soy, and sugar—some of the most heavily sprayed crops. Tests from the Environmental Working Group (EWG) found glyphosate in many of these foods. The World Health Organization’s International Agency for Research on Cancer classified glyphosate as a Group 2A carcinogen in 2015, which means it “probably causes cancer.”

It became apparent that GMO crops were not designed to save the world; they were designed to keep Monsanto’s market share up.

Monsanto recently came under fire as thousands of people have filed lawsuits claiming glyphosate caused their cancer. To date, three separate juries have ruled that Monsanto is at least partially to blame for cancer (most commonly non-Hodgkin lymphoma), and that the company acted negligently by not warning consumers of the dangers of glyphosate. This summer, Monsanto was ordered to pay a California couple $86.7 million in damages because they both developed non-Hodgkin lymphoma after using Roundup for decades. According to court documents, in order to find Monsanto guilty, the jury had to be convinced that they “engaged in conduct with malice, oppression or fraud committed by one or more officers, directors or managing agents of Monsanto.”

In March of 2019, Monsanto was found liable for the development of Edwin Hardeman’s non-Hodgkin lymphoma, which occurred after he began spraying Roundup on his property in 1986. Studies and reviews from organizations like Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the International Agency for Research on Cancer, and others have shown a relationship between glyphosate and cancer, endocrine disruption, toxicity to cells, oxidative stress, genetic mutation, reproductive problems, and hormone disruption.

One of the arguments in glyphosate’s favor, as explained by Marla Cone for PBS NewsHour, is that it can’t harm the human body because the enzyme that it disrupts to kill weeds isn’t made in the human body. However, this enzyme (cytochrome P450) is found in the bacteria that lives in the gut. Anthony Samsel and Stephanie Seneff studied the effect of glyphosate on this enzyme for the journal Interdisciplinary Toxicology and found when this enzyme is disrupted, it can lead to leaky gut, which is associated with problems like vitamin and mineral deficiency, inflammation, poor immune function, and autoimmune disease, among other issues.

Carey Gillam, investigative journalist and author of “Whitewash: The Story of a Weed Killer, Cancer, and the Corruption of Science” began covering Monsanto and other food and agriculture companies in 1998. Gillam notes once she began learning more about Monsanto, “It became apparent that GMO crops were not designed to save the world; they were designed to keep Monsanto’s market share up.”

As a result of the multiple cases raised against Monsanto, classified documents called the Monsanto Papers were released to the public in April 2019, revealing Monsanto covered up their knowledge that glyphosate was harmful and likely carcinogenic. Monsanto tried to manipulate and pay the editor-in-chief of the Food and Chemical Toxicology Journal to conceal information and publish that glyphosate is not harmful; Monsanto also avoided telling the public about studies that indicate glyphosate is toxic to humans. The company secretly authored papers showing glyphosate does not cause cancer while ignoring warnings from experts that glyphosate likely does cause cancer. Monsanto also allegedly worked with EPA officials to delay a toxicology review of glyphosate and admitted they manipulated data and knew glyphosate caused hormone disruption.

According to Gillam, “Roundup is formulated to […] absorb rapidly into tissue of plants, and it does the same thing on human skin.”

Although the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) says GMO foods sprayed with glyphosate are safe, the FDA does not test the safety of GMOs independently; they rely on the manufacturers of GMO foods to make sure they are safe for consumers.

THAT'S REALLY BAD FOLKS. THE FDA HAS BEEN FOUND BY VARIOUS RESEARCHERS TO ACTUALLY BE CORRUPT. IT MAY SURPRISE YOU TO KNOW THAT MONSANTO EVEN MOVED ONE OF THEIR HITMEN INTO A TOP POSITION IN THE FDA TO GIVE THEM MORE INFLUENCE.

How Can You Protect Yourself?

Stop Using Roundup

Businesses are making it easier than ever. Costco, for example, has removed Roundup from their shelves, and there is a petition for Lowe’s and Home Depot to do the same.

Buy Organic

Food that is USDA-certified organic is not sprayed with any chemical fertilizers, pesticides, or artificial additives, which means these products are not sprayed with glyphosate. Be careful with non-GMO food, though, because it can still be sprayed with glyphosate as a drying agent. The only way to know for sure that your food does not contain glyphosate is to buy items labeled USDA-certified organic.

If you’re looking to make a cost-effective change, focus on buying organic for foods that are most heavily sprayed: wheat, corn, soy, and sugar. Another good strategy is to use the EWG’s “Dirty Dozen” and “Clean 15” list. Every year, the EWG tests produce to determine which have the most pesticide residue (the dirty dozen) and which have the least (the clean 15). Try to buy organic when you buy the foods on the dirty list, and worry less about buying organic when you buy the foods on the clean list.

JANETS COMMENTARY

ABC News In-depth 15.10 Mins Don't Miss!
Listen to these Statements 22-23 Mins and 33 Mins
Hear Monsanto's CEO Lie through his teeth! 33 Mins

If this ALERT Production was Aired 5 Years ago, what is wrong
with Governments in Western Countries like Australia and USA?
I mean to say, how SLACK could they be???
Hear this Australian Official's Denial 35-36 Mins
So much for "Track Records!" Are we going to Trust Regulators like this!?
And this Official's point blank Denials 38-39 Mins

Tell me, what are our Official Departments doing, backing and protecting Bayer/Monsanto's Interests when there is Proof Positive that in reality, the Company we are talking about have Shown themselves up to be such Criminals?
In fact, Independent Researchers have known them to be Notorious Criminals for 2-3 decades. Tell me then, why nothing has been done about this situation and literally more Tonnes of this Sleazy TOXIC Product have been Allowed to Enter into Our Country?

Sheer CARELESSNESS and Financial INCENTIVES, that's what - at the COST of Our HEALTH (the Taxpayers who Trust in their Guidelines to Protect Us) that's Terrible, absolutely Reprehensible. Should we endure this anymore? No Friends, we should come Against it with PEOPE POWER.

Sad to say every country has it's Positive and Negative traits, and our People have been noted for APATHY. But remember Friends, that President Bush in his time of Administration and the British Government urged us to join Forces with them in the War against the Iraki Leader Husain, to Win that War because Our Forces are Noted for Being the BEST and that dates back to The Light Horse. Because Our Forces (Navy, Army and Airforce) Fight Together as ONE. So I'm suggesting that we ALL Raise Our Voices on this Monsanto (their TOXIC RoundUp and Glyphosate Products) to Instigate a NATIONWIDE BAN on Them and KEEP their Nasty GMO Franken SEEDS OUT OF HERE - BANNING the USE of their SOY and CANOLA GMO Seeds that have been Allowed here, and the Whopping Amounts of ROUNDUP that is Used to Treat them with.

Please, I solemnly Urge You "People, SPEAK UP" shake off the Apathy we do tend to have and PROTECT Our Families from this Criminal Company with it's TOXIC PRACTICES. As you can see well established on this Video - there are others available - Monsanto's LIES have been as TOXIC as Their Products and we must now PRESS IN to bring about Law Reform in discouraging the use of these Products: the RoundUp, the Glyphosates AND the GMOs (Genetically Modified Seeds Rubbish. Show them No Mercy, they show none to Every Country they have Spun LIE after LIE to and Sold TONNES of That Stuff AFTER Knowing the Horrendous Affects they have on People's Health and Devastation to Farmers - unprecedented - causing More Caring and Responsible Governments to Issue a Full BAN on those Products permanently.

Do You still want to spray this RoundUp and Glyphosates on Your Lawns and Gardens?
An honest Professional Gardener informed me Years ago that
"these TOXIC Products take 7 Years to leave the Soil"
when I said how annoyed a previous Gardener was when I attempted to tell him how Toxic they Are
from Research I did. He reacted very poorly - shut me up 3-4 times in half a minute and never came again.
He was otherwise a very nice Guy but Brainwashed and Resolute!

More Schemes Up Their Sleeves!

Be Careful

And I ask you People, Farmers and Government Workers etc are you going to be Quick to Believe anymore Promotions by this Bayer/Monsanto Company, given their Track Record for FRAUDULENT LIES? Because the adage Proves So True that "A Zebra does Not change it's Stripes" and being the BIG MONEY MONGERS that they ARE they have an "Alternative Product" in the Pipeline at this time because the Multiple Millions in Court Cases and Class Action SUITS in Recent Times are proving to be a Very Expensive exercise for them to persist with their current Products possibly - the So-Called Safe RoundUp and Glyphosates.

Years After Monsanto Deal, Bayer’s Roundup Bills Keep Piling Up
By Maureen Farrell December 2023 New York Times

Bayer's woes stem from its 2018 purchase of Monsanto, the maker of Roundup, for $63 billion in cash. Since the deal was announced in 2016, Bayer's shares have plunged more than 60 percent. It is widely considered one of the worst mergers in history.

    Spot on Janet, we didn't want to read other articles at different times about RoundUp, we believed what the professional gardeners said so we liked the convenience. Thank God we found out before we get ill with this stuff. And we have 2 little kids to look after. We are looking through your Blog now and came back to make a comment. It looks like you protect people from different things and don't mind handling controversial issues. That's really great, maybe we have more to learn. Thanks for all the time you obviously put into your website. We will recommend it to our family and friends!
