Roundup Weedkiller Linked To Global Epidemic of Fatal Kidney Disease

READ ENTIRE OPEN ACCESS STUDY at this link>>>http://www.mdpi.com/1660-4601/11/2/2125

The extent of the health problem is so massive that the Center for Public Integrity found that CKDu has killed more people in El Salvador and Nicaragua than diabetes, AIDS and leukemia combined, over the past 5 years on record.

Titled, "Glyphosate, Hard Water and Nephrotoxic Metals: Are They the Culprits Behind the Epidemic of Chronic Kidney Disease of Unknown Etiology in Sri Lanka?"” researchers hypothesized that while glyphosate is toxic, it alone is not capable of destroying kidney tissue on the scale recently observed in rice paddy regions of Northern Sri Lanka, or in El Salvador where it is the second leading cause of death among men. They propose glyphosate becomes extremely toxic to the kidney when it mixes with ‘hard’ water or heavy metals like arsenic and cadmium, either naturally present in the soil or added externally through fertilizer inputs. Hard water contains "metals," such as calcium, magnesium, strontium and iron, along with carbonate, bicarbonate, sulphate and chlorides.

Is Monsanto’s Glyphosate RoundUp the New Agent Orange?

The truth is that RoundUp, in the form of glyphosate, is just another product of the military industrial complex, and an evolution of Agent Orange. If we don’t wake up and fight, en masse, then Monsanto and its government connections will completely destroy our food supply and our planet.

Monsanto Label GMOs & Other Toxic Substances - Glyphosate: Perhaps the World's Most Overlooked Poison

Are you using this product?
STOP USING IT NOW & HERE'S WHY

Research published last year shows that glyphosate, the active ingredient in Roundup, causes birth defects in frogs and chicken embryos at far lower levels than used in agricultural and garden applications.

The malformations primarily affected the:

1. Skull
2. Face
3. Midline and developing brain
4. Spinal cord

Other independent scientific research has also found that glyphosate causes:

1. Endocrine disruption
2. DNA damage
3. Developmental toxicity
4. Neurotoxicity
5. Reproductive toxicity
6. Cancer

Other Toxic Substances - Glyphosate: Technical Announcement: Widely Used Herbicide Commonly Found in Rain and Streams in the Mississippi River Basin

"Though glyphosate is the mostly widely used herbicide in the world, we know very little about its long term effects to the environment," says Paul Capel, USGS chemist and an author on this study.

"This study is one of the first to document the consistent occurrence of this chemical in streams, rain and air throughout the growing season. This is crucial information for understanding where management efforts for this chemical would best be focused."
