In the same category as paint thinner, mercury, and antifreeze
Did you know that you should not put a bottle of Round Up in
your municipal trashcan for pick up? If that is the case, then why
on Earth would we put that same chemical trash into our bodies?
Yep – Round Up, Monsanto’s favorite herbicide and one of their
best-selling products, is considered a Hazmat issue for local cities and
towns. It isn’t supposed to be disposed of in your regular trash
pick-up.
According to the Department of Public Works, “Employees can be harmed by their toxic fumes.”
Monsanto’s Round Up is in the
same category
for trash removal as paint, paint thinner, furniture polish, mercury,
swimming pool chemicals, CFL and fluorescent light bulbs, and
antifreeze.
I certainly wouldn’t eat antifreeze, would you? I know that question
may sound a bit insulting, but how is it then that we allow (through the
voting process and complicit agreement) the EPA to hike up allowable
glyphosate (the main ingredient in Round Up) levels? They’ve done it not
once,
but multiple times.
Now –
the allowed level
in teff animal feed is 100 parts per million (ppm); and in [GM] oilseed
crops, 40 ppm. Allowed levels in some fruits and vegetables eaten by
humans have also risen.
As a comparison, malformations in frog and chicken embryos
were documented by Prof Andres Carrasco’s team at 2.03 ppm glyphosate (when injected into the embryos).
We also know that glyphosate exposure boosts harmful bacterial growth in the gut and eliminates healthful bacteria – making our
body’s own trash eliminator – the GI tract – highly compromised.

Dr. Krüger explains in the
study’s abstract:
“During the last 10-15 years, an increase of
Clostridium botulinum associated diseases in cattle has been observed in
Germany. . . The normal intestinal microflora is a critical factor in
preventing intestinal colonisation by C. botulinum as shown in the mouse
model of infant botulism. . . . A reduction of LAB in the GIT
microbiota by ingestion of strong biocides like glyphosate could be an
explanation for the observed increase in levels of C. botulinum
associated diseases.
In the present paper, we report on the toxicity of glyphosate to the most prevalent Enterococcus spp. in the GIT. Ingestion
of this herbicide could be a significant predisposing factor that is
associated with the increase in C. botulinum mediated diseases in cattle.”
Remember – you should contact your local authorities when you are
going to dispose of Round Up, even an empty bottle. But we keep spraying
it on our food – no worries there.
