Despite an estimated 125,000 plaintiffs who have sued Monsanto/Bayer for their glyphosate-based herbicide products’( GBH’s) connection to non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma, and 40 countries around the world banning or restricting the use of glyphosate, Bayer continues to push the increased use of this agrochemical on food and feed crops.

Canada's Pest Management Regulatory Agency (PMRA) has recently posted a proposed increase of glyphosate maximum residue levels (MRLs) on food crops to be 100 - 650% higher than previous levels. Glyphosate-based herbicides are used on many crops as a drying agent before harvest, weedkiller in agriculture or landscaping leads to glyphosate contamination of our water, food, beverages, rain, air, and even some childhood vaccines.

The risk of higher glyphosate residues on the global food supply and products, including America’s, resulting in decreased health, is not probable if this proposal is approved. It is definite. Much of Canada and the northern midwest of America are considered the “breadbasket” of America.  In 2018/19, Canada's total cereal (grain) exports amounted to around 28.39 million metric tons, exported to 95 different countries worldwide.

A few examples of Canada’s proposed glyphosate MRLs: dry peas glyphosate residues would increase from 2 ppm to 15 ppm - 650% higher, from 4 ppm on lentils to 10 ppm - 150%, and from 5 ppm on wheat flour to 15 ppm - 200% higher. The increase is alarming because recent science shows that low levels of glyphosate exposure can and do cause harm to animal and human health. The residue increase from 15 ppm on oats and bran to 35 ppm, (which is 35,000 ppb) is 35,000 times higher than the 1 ppb shown to cause cell death in a study by Mesnage, Bernay, and Séralini, “Ethoxylated Adjuvants of Glyphosate-Based Herbicides.”  It is 350,000 times higher than the  .1 ppb that was shown in Lozano et al’s study to cause disruption of the gut microbiota, which is the stronghold of the immune system. In Seralini et al’s study when rats were given a very low dose of .1 ppb in their water, all treated groups, both male and female rats in the study died 2-3 times more often and faster, developed kidney damage, massive tumors, and the males had 2.5-5.5 TIMES higher rates of liver necrosis. 

In addition to being carcinogenic, studies show glyphosate herbicides have been shown to contribute to the following health issues in animal studies: congenital deformities, miscarriage, infertility, sperm damage, reproductive organ disruption, liver and kidney disease, autism symptoms, and disrupted gut health which can contribute to dozens of autoimmune disorders and mental health issues.

低用量のグリホサート除草剤による害は否定できません。有機消費者協会によると グリホサートのファクトシート、「ジャーナルToxicologyに掲載された研究の研究者は、4つの異なる市販のグリホセート製剤を研究し、5 ppm（parts per million）という低用量でヒト肝細胞のDNA鎖の50パーセントの切断を観しました。この損傷は、DNAが内分泌系を含むいくつかの生理学的システムにメッセージを送信する方法に影響を与えます。研究者たちは、肝臓が最初の解毒器官であり、食事の汚染物質に敏感であるため、これは重要であると述べました。」健康な肝臓は、私たちの体の臓器が適切に機能し、健康を維持するために不可欠です。非アルコール性肝疾患の懸念の高まりは、小児科医によって、特に農村地域で、8歳の子供たちで報告されています。

Ninety-eight percent of the wheat that is imported each year by the United States is grown in Canada.

Canada exported 3.31 million tonnes of grain a year to the U.S. between mid-2012 and mid-2015. In that same period, the U.S. exported about 53,000 tonnes of wheat to Canada per year. 

Dr. Don Huber, Professor Emeritus at Purdue University, comments about the proposed MRLs, “Canada already has some of the most highly glyphosate contaminated crops in the world. In his ebook on Poison Foods of North America, Tony Mitra shows the high to extreme levels identified by the quarter plus million Canadian Food Inspection Authority analyses. The reason for increasing the MRL is probably the same as the EPA raising ours – Those are the levels they are finding in the commodity, and to sell them they have to increase the amount permitted!”

フーバーの理論はありそうもない。事実です。

A new movie, People Protecting Food, newly released in Japan, featuring the former Minister of Agriculture of Japan, Yamada Mashiko, reveals proof that the chemical companies influence food policy to their benefit. A Japanese molecular biologist Masaharu Kawata states in the film, “this document (from Monsanto to regulators) states that for genetically modified crops, the residual value of glyphosate will inevitably exceed Japan's safety standards, so Japan needs to raise its safety standards.” 

国際的には、私たちのフードシステムは密接に関連しています。日本は、米国ルイジアナ州に拠点を置く世界最大の穀物流通センターを所有しています。ミシシッピ川沿いの日本人が所有する85穀物収集センターは、アメリカ中西部の農民の製品の大部分をアジアに移転しています。日本政府がグリホサートを散布した穀物を購入し続けると、農薬の悪影響は日本人だけでなく、アメリカやカナダの農民、私たちの土壌、水、そして人口にも起こります。カナダから米国への輸入についても同じことが言え、その逆も同様です。

According to the Secretary-General of the OK Seed project -  an alternative labeling project against GMOs including gene-editing, Inyaku Tomoya, Japan is highly dependent on Canada and the USA for food and animal feed.  "About 85% of the wheat consumed in Japan is imported, and raising glyphosate residue levels is disastrous for the people of Japan.”  

日本では菜種（カノーラ）の99.8％が輸入されています。 日本の輸入 カナダ（92.3％）とオーストラリア（7.7％）からの菜種。 2016では、日本の小麦の輸入は、米国（46.3％）、カナダ（33.3％）、オーストラリア（15.5％）からのものでした。すべては一的に乾燥剤としてグリホサートを噴霧されるか、またはグリホサートは成長期に除草剤として使用されます。 

On Thursday, 4月 13, 2017, the Ministry of Health, Labor, and Welfare (MHLW) of the Government of Japan (GOJ) announced changes to the Maximum Residue Levels (MRLs) for the pesticides Isoxathion, Glyphosate, Clethodim, and Flutolanil.

日本のグリホサートMRLは変化し、輸入食品のグリホサート残留レベルは、健康危機の間、記録された歴史の中で現在最高レベルになると予想されています。

• 小麦-30 ppm（5 ppmから増加、6倍）
• トウモロコシ-20 ppm（1 ppmから増加、20回）
• 大豆-20 ppm（20 ppmから増加、変化なし）
• 甜菜-15 ppm（0.2 ppmから増加、75回）
• ひまわり-40 ppm（0.1 ppmから400倍に増加！） 

In comparison, China’s glyphosate MRL for imports are:

• 小麦-5 ppm（日本より83％低い）
• 小麦粉。5 ppm（カナダの15 ppmより96％低い）
• トウモロコシ-1 ppm（日本より95％低い）
• 大豆-NA
• テンサイ-NA
• ひまわり-7 ppm（日本より82％低い）

世界中の独立した科学者は、グリホサートMRLの増加に深く悩まされています。 

Former US EPA employee of twenty-five years and author of Poison Spring E. G. Valliantos commented on the MRLs, “Canada's decision to increase the Maximum Residue Limits for glyphosate/Roundup in the food Canadians eat is irresponsible. Glyphosate causes cancer, neurological diseases and, in many ways, devastates the natural world. Canada has the moral responsibility to ban glyphosate. Such a harmful substance has no place in a civilized society. At a time of a pandemic and drastic climate change, agriculture needs to return to sanity and ecology.” 

Dr. Stephanie Seneff, Senior Research Scientist, MIT Computer Science, and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory and author of the newly released book Toxic Legacy, also stated, "It's sad to see that levels of glyphosate allowed by regulatory agents in core foods are being adjusted upward to accommodate higher levels that are now being found in these foods, with no regard to safety testing to see if these levels are safe."

彼女の本の中で、セネフは、グリホサートベースの除草剤が抗菌剤として特許を取得しており、抗生物質として機能することを指摘しています。穀物、エンドウ豆、豆、大豆、またはトウモロコシ、および他の多くの作物を含むほとんどすべての食事で、私たちの食糧供給に抗生物質を消費することは、人口にとって長期的に悲惨です。

からの抜粋 セネフの本 「抗生物質であるグリホサートへの慢性的な曝露は、人間をインフルエンザやCOVID- 19を含む他の呼吸器感染症にかかりやすくする可能性があります。 

2019で、科学者の国際チームは、抗生物質がインフルエンザ感染に対する最初の免疫応答を開始する肺のシグナル伝達メカニズムを妨害することを発見しました。抗生物質を投与されたマウスは、インフルエンザウイルスに感染すると結果が悪化します。しかし、これは重要なことですが、抗生物質にさらされていないマウスからの糞便移植は、腸の健康を回復し、インフルエンザウイルスに感染したマウスのインフルエンザに対する肺の回復力を高めます。」

軌道に戻り、シャットダウンを防止することによって経済が機能するのをサポートすることが重要な時期に、健康上のリスクを高める行動を取ることは、グローバルシステムの実行可能性に反します。

The CDC has reported that people with pre-existing conditions such as autoimmune diseases, diabetes, and obesity (predominately preventable conditions through healthy food) are at higher risk of severe symptoms from COVID. Glyphosate herbicides have been proven to alter human gut microbiota and therefore impair the immune system and increases antibiotic resistance. Higher numbers of people with severe symptoms mean a higher risk of another shutdown THAT CAUSES societal and economic disaster. The US Government spent over $3 trillion during shutdowns directly caused by largely preventable symptoms to a virus closely related to the flu virus, of our taxpayer dollars. This massive use of resources will go to waste and continue to be a black hole for funding if international governments continue to allow glyphosate in our food. Glyphosate was a contributing factor to the current pandemic shutdowns and will be a larger factor in future ones if governments don’t stop allowing the use of this chronically highly harmful agrochemical now. 

Moms Across America urges people from countries all around the world to object to the Canadian, Japanese, and US governments for allowing such high levels of glyphosate residues in our food. If China can support its citizen’s health, so can we. Please take action today and specifically tell the Canadian government to NOT raise their glyphosate MRLs before the comment period closes.

There are safe alternatives, namely regenerative organic agriculture, which produces non-toxic, non-GMO, more nutrient-dense food as it improves soil quality and sequesters carbon. Regenerative organic food systems support our immune systems and can reduce climate change.  A new paper by the Heartland Health Research Alliance shows that the surest way to minimize pesticide dietary exposure and health risks is to consume organically grown food. 

The paper concludes that by converting the 1.2% of US cropland used to grow fruits and vegetables to organic production, the nation’s farmers could cut total pesticides dietary risk by a remarkable 98%.

これが世界が今必要としている解決策です。

Canada's Pest Management Regulatory Agency (PMRA)  has an open comment period until 7月 20, 2021, regarding the raising of glyphosate levels by 100-650%. Comments can be made directly to the PMRA before 7月 20  at this link (Canadians and people of all countries)  or if you are America, you may send a pre-written email and call with our one-click campaign.
