TheVoiceOfJoyce Glyphosates have been used as, Roundup, for 40 years. It’s effects on heart disease, male infertility and cancers of the blood, are now detailed and proven. The chemical is used globally and doesn’t effect only the sprayers of the product. Food contaminated with Roundup, is toxic. When do we ban their use? The evidence is in, glyphosate and PFAS chemicals are known carcinogenic substances. When can citizens expect their removal from our environment? With Global warming coming at a faster rate, phasing in Floating Farms ( Rotterdam), heritage farming, farming under solar panels are new, disruptive and free of pesticides. There are other methodologies to be employed to make our lives healthier! When do we start back to the road to good health?

The study, published last week in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute, measured glyphosate levels in the urine of farmers and other study participants and determined that high levels of the pesticide were associated with signs of a reaction in the body called oxidative stress, a condition that causes damage to DNA.

Oxidative stress is considered by health experts as a key characteristic of carcinogens.

The authors of the paper – 10 scientists with the National Institutes of Health and two from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) – concluded that their study “contributes to the weight of evidence supporting an association between glyphosate exposure and oxidative stress in humans”.

They also noted that “accumulating evidence supports the role of oxidative stress in the pathogenesis of hematologic cancers”, such as lymphoma, myeloma and leukemia.
