Pesticides cause a multitude of adverse effects on humans. However, they are especially harmful to children. They may have something to do with the mass-shootings in schools all over America because some of them are neurotoxins. This means they affect and damage the central nervous system and the brain of all animals, including humans.

Have you ever seen workers on the side of the road with a metal sprayer, dousing the landscaping with some unknown liquid? Or a truck with a tank of liquid driving slowly along the sidewalk spraying a jet stream of liquid all over the roadside or sidewalk? Or how about a farmer in a field on a tractor spraying the crops? Ever wonder what they are spraying?

It's not water. And it's not harmless. They are most likely spraying a glyphosate-based herbicide, such as Roundup or Rodeo.  You may even have a bottle of these herbicides in your garage to spray in your own backyard. Glyphosate-based herbicides are the most popular, and insidiously harmful, herbicides and desiccants (drying agents) in the world.  Over 9.4 million tons of these herbicides are recorded to have been sprayed globally.  80% of GMOs---genetically modified crops---are engineered to withstand glyphosate-based herbicides.

California is the only state that has a Department of Pesticide* Regulation that tracks the use of glyphosate and other pesticides/herbicides. That map was recently shared with me by a supporter for glyphosate-free grape growing. ここをクリック for one of the most disturbing maps you will ever see, especially if you live in California. The California wine regions are recorded to have between 79,000-189,000 pounds of glyphosate sprayed in their communities every year.

*The term pesticide is accepted by the industry to include pesticides, herbicides, fungicides, and rodenticides.

Right now, the EPA is accepting comments from the public on the issue of whether or not to re-register glyphosate for another 15 years. This is one of the most hotly contested issues of our generation, and we need EVERYONE to comment.

Please click on this link, click Comment Now on the upper right, and write a short (or long) comment to the EPA.

Registration Review: Draft Human Health and/or Ecological Risk Assessments for Several Pesticides

We simply ask that you be professional, add links to studies to back up your assertions (see resources below), and share personal reasons why as well.

If you suspect harm to your family or loved ones from glyphosate herbicide Roundup, now is the time to tell them.

You may use parts of our comments below, but please do personalize your comment or else it will be deleted.

Feel free to comment more than once. The last time I checked the majority of the comments were in favor of glyphosate being renewed...no doubt the chemical companies are paying people to leave comments. Regardless, we need to bring clear independent science and honest pleas.

Please know that there are some inside the EPA that want to do the right thing, and have asked us to communicate with them. They need our support to make changes. Please leave a comment today.

Comments to the EPA on the health impacts and safety of glyphosate

新しいテスト結果は、人気のあるビールとワインのブランドに共通するものを示しています。

モンサントの総まとめ

3月 15, 2018、ミッションビエホカリフォルニア州-アルコール業界にとっては数年が経ちましたが、変化は醸造されています。 2015では、ロサンゼルス CBSニュースは、31ブランドのワインに対する訴訟の発表を破りました 高レベルの無機ヒ素用。 2016では、テストされた12カリフォルニアワインはすべてでした グリホサート除草剤に陽性であることがわかった。  2016で、 ドイツでのビールテスト また、独立したビールでさえ、テストされたすべてのサンプルでグリホサートの残留物が明らかになりました。ワイン醸造業者も醸造業者も同様に、オーガニックの需要の高まりに気づき始めました。ちょうど今週、 Anheuser-Busch 彼らのブランドミケロが発表した 新しいビールを発売しました ウルトラピュアゴールド 有機小麦で作られました。これらのイベントすべてに共通するものは何ですか？

モンサントの総まとめ。 

How are they connected? If you remember, French scientist Seralini et al released shocking findings in January of 2018 that all the brands of the glyphosate-based Roundup they tested, over a dozen, had high levels of arsenic, over 5x the allowable limit. Roundup used in vineyards and sprayed on grains used in beer as a drying agent is appearing to be one of the major contributing factors of arsenic (and of course, glyphosate) residues in our wine and beer.

Today Moms Across America is releasing new findings of glyphosate in all of the most popular brands of wines in the world, most of which are from the US, and in batch test results in American beer. The findings were at first, confusing. But one thing that was clear was that the beer and wine industries must and in many cases are, moving away from Monsanto’s Roundup in order to avoid contamination by this chemical herbicide, a known neurotoxin, carcinogen、そして endocrine disruptor, which causes liver disease. Despite Monsanto’s impassioned appeal of “irreparable harm”, CA federal Judge Shubb allowed glyphosate to remain on the CA Prop 65 carcinogen list in a ruling out just two weeks ago.

CAの裁判官は、グリホサートの提案65のリストを承認しましたが、食品や製品に癌の警告ラベルは必要ないと判断しました

2月 27, 2018-- Today a CA Federal Judge ruled that the public does not need a warning label to inform us that cancer-causing and harmful chemicals in glyphosate herbicides are in our food or products, temporarily relieving manufacturers from the responsibility of being honest with their customers.  At a time when more and more American families are struggling with diseases and their high cost, one man decided that it was an injustice to the chemical companies to have to tell us about the presence of their chemicals.

Senior United States District Judge William B. Shubb released his ruling regarding the case of Wheat Growers and Monsanto against the California Environmental Protection Agency (CA EPA), Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) and the CA Attorney General to remove glyphosate, the declared active chemical ingredient in Roundup, the most widely used herbicide in the world, from the CA Prop 65 carcinogen list, a law approved by California voters by ballot initiative in 1986.

裁判官は、OEHHAはプロップ65発がん性物質リストにグリホサートを保持できると判断しましたが、モンサントなどの製造業者や食品製造業者は、製品に警告ラベルを付ける必要はありません。 通常、法律では、リストにある化学物質を含む製品は、特定のレベルを超えて、リストから1年以内に製品にラベルを付ける必要があると規定されています。ラベルには、「警告この製品には、カリフォルニア州で癌または生殖障害を引き起こすことが知られている化学物質が含まれています」と記載されています。裁判官によって付与された一時的な仮差し止め命令は、グリホサートを含む製品および食品の製造業者による差し迫った表示を停止し、顧客にこの事実を通知しないことを許可します... グリホサートは動物にガンを引き起こし、おそらくヒトの発ガン性物質であることがわかっています。

 New test results show the presence of Glyphosate, a proven neurotoxin and the declared active chemical in Monsanto’s Roundup, to be contaminating more and more American foods, many considered fit for a “healthy” lunch. Instead, we are finding that these foods are likely contributing to poor mental and physical health.

Batch testing of popular almond milk (1), vegetarian burgers (2), and various breads (3), including organic, gluten free and whole wheat breads, revealed up to 140.98 ppb. Individual brand testing of Skippy’s “100% Natural” peanut butter そして Lipton’s “100% Natural” Mint and Green tea up to 208.29 ppb of glyphosate herbicides.

11農薬の味の最初の説明が提案されています。それらは最初に水中で検出され、ワインに見られるレベルで新たに希釈され、ワインの専門家36によって、またはさまざまな期間の195ブラインドテストで調理されます。

それらは、私たちの実験でワインに最も頻繁に見られる農薬です。一部の動物は農薬を検出し、それに応じて行動を変えることができます。人間がワインの味から農薬を検出できるかどうかを調べるために、3段階の実験を行いました。

1月 31, 2018 Zen Honeycutt and Anne Temple of Moms Across America attended the Monsanto Shareholder meeting held at their corporate headquarters in St. Louis.

Zen represented John Harrington of Harrington Investments and presented a three minute presentation for the forming of  a Human Rights Committee.  Unfortunately the vote was taken before Zen spoke on behalf of the proxy.  A document was presented to the board and Executive Team listing just some of the examples of 11 categories of crimes against humanity attributed to Monsanto's products.  You can read that document ここに.

Below is Zen's presentation for the forming of a Human Rights Committee.
