A Groundbreaking new study links glyphosate to more than 10 cancers, but now Congress wants to bail out Bayer and the pesticide industry with its new spending bill.

Last week a major new study came out from one of the world’s leading cancer research facilities that once again confirmed a strong link between Monsanto’s glyphosate and cancer at the same time House and Senate Republicans were working behind the scenes in DC to launch a massive subsidy increase to the 6 most pesticide intensive crops.

A comprehensive carcinogenicity study on glyphosate, the world's most used herbicide, involving scientists from Europe and the U.S., has found that low doses of the controversial weed killer cause multiple types of cancer in rats at levels of exposure lower than previously deemed safe.

Sustainable Pulse released the groundbreaking news of the long-awaited global study on glyphosate in the article: "International Study Reveals Glyphosate Weed Killers Cause," stating:

On May 25, 2025, a Moms Across America supporter, Jennifer Berman Diaz, reached out to Bob’s Red Mill with a pressing concern: high levels of glyphosate residues were detected in their gluten-free flour.

Glyphosate is the most widely used herbicide in the world. However, due to hundreds of independent studies linking it to cancer, neurological, nervous system, liver, kidney, and reproductive damage, its use has been restricted or banned in over 60 countries.

Letter from Our Director:

The MAHA Commission Report is a historic document that marks a turning point in our society—a time when, finally, the requests of mothers and others asking for acknowledgment of their children’s and families’ chronic illnesses and harm from toxins have been, for the most part, acknowledged.

RE: In Defense of Health and Accountability — MAHA Community Support for Secretary Kennedy and Opposition to Chemical Liability Shields

Bayer/Monsanto, Syngenta/ChemChina, and Dow/Dupont are Brainwashing our Senators to Present Bills to Prevent Cancer Lawsuits Against AgroChemical Companies.

Big Ag wants immunity from lawsuits. The rights of individuals, localities, and states to be able to sue agrochemical companies is critically at stake. The plot by Big Ag, via The ModernAgAlliance.org,  to pass state-by-state bills, filed in eleven states, Idaho, North Dakota, Wyoming, Oklahoma, Georgia, Montana, Missouri, Iowa, Mississippi, Tennessee, Florida - but we expect there will be bills in twenty-one.  

Bayer/Monsanto has just hired 20 agrochemical lobbyists to convince your Senators and Congressmembers that they should enjoy complete immunity from lawsuits, just like the vaccine companies. In other words, they should be able to produce pesticides, herbicides, and fungicides, and as long as the EPA gives them a license to do so (which does not establish safety for human exposure), then they could never be sued for cancer or other harmful impacts due to exposure to their products.

Meanwhile, the drugs they sell that treat the harm their products cause, like cancer, depression, and fertility drugs, will continue to soar. That is why we are calling them the Make America $ick Again Bills, it's a perfect profit circle for them that they want to protect.  We think that rather than our elected officials giving Bayer executives another beach house, they should protect us in our house. The number one reason for bankruptcy, which can lead to homelessness, is medical debt. Taking away their resident's right to sue for harm is unjust and dangerous for our communities. Compensation for harm from any unsafe product is necessary for product accountability and the health and security of our communities.

These bills give Big Ag complete immunity from individuals for violating​ federal labeling law, letting them cover up dangers without consequence. This cannot happen on our watch!

USA Nationwide Call for a Ban of 85 Pesticides That Have Already Been Banned in Europe and Other Countries

In Europe, China, Brazil, and many other countries, regulatory and elected officials have had the wisdom, based on science, to ban 85 agrochemicals that are not banned in the USA. Historically, in the USA, our EPA has cherry-picked studies from the pesticide industry and ignored independent studies and epigenetic studies. The EPA also does not require long-term animal studies with blood analysis on any final formulations for approval of any agrochemicals. That means the pesticides, herbicides, and fungicides that are being applied to our animal feed and food crops have never been determined safe for consumption. In fact, many countries around the world have found them to cause or contribute to cancer, infertility, and many serious health issues, and have banned them.

From Sustainable Pulse

Through policy advocacy and grassroots campaigning, Center for Food Safety (CFS), Moms Across America and many other U.S. organizations are fighting back against a coordinated, industry-backed campaign threatening decades of hard-won protections from pesticide exposure through simultaneous efforts at both state and federal levels.

In memory of Arthur Firstenberg (May 28, 1950 – February 25, 2025)

I first read Arthur Firstenberg’s book The Invisible Rainbow: A History of Electricity and Life in 2023. While its detailed and often disturbing information was sometimes difficult for me to take in, the book provided refreshingly clear insights into the mysteries of human health and disease. Firstenberg’s descriptions of the illnesses induced by Man’s electric technologies resonated with my own experiences, observations, and research. I found the book’s explanations and evidence of harm to be compelling. I began exploring the website of Firstenberg’s organization, Cellular Phone Task Force, and I signed up for his Substack newsletter. A few months later, my brother and I co-led a small book group discussion on The Invisible Rainbow, delving deeper into the contents and their implications. As I learn more about the topic of EMFs and health and make changes in my own use of technology, I keep returning to this groundbreaking book as a resource.

Moms Across America is dismayed for our farming community and American citizens. Four months after Brazil approved GMO wheat, the USDA has quietly approved GMO wheat for growing in America. No doubt due to heavy lobbying by Big Ag, GMO wheat may be on the market within a few years, without labeling, in our food supply.
