No, the research does not exist. The reason for all the bans and labeling is fear and ignorance. Some day in the future, people view this topic similar to the way we see the Salem witch trials, fear of eclipses, sailing off the edge of the earth, . . .

The earth is flat too because some guy on youtube says so. People are stupid. Glyphosate has been shown to be of minimal concern as far a being a carcinogen and is really not very toxic to anything other than weeds and aquatic life.

Nice try! I’ve been down this path before and no longer get fooled by such requests or waste my time on people who choose to ignore what is right in front of their face. More than enough research out there, which has been out for years, and why over 60 countries around the world either ban or mandate GMO labelling. Of course however, this kind of info is an inconvenient truth to those whose livelihood and Ego depend on GMO production.

Following Seralini’s lead, I guess.

It’s amazing how often this material gets regurgitated.

Smith seems to be moving into “remedies”, these days (you know: how to “heal” after the assault of GM or pesticides).

She’s a victim of the Maharishi cult – she copied and pasted from Jeffy Smith.

Farmers controlling milkweed probably has contributed to a decline in monarch butterflies. Instead of carrying protest signs telling farmers what to do, why don’t all the self-proclaimed environmentalist plant milkweed in their lawns? Answer: that would be work and cost them money. Crazy Environmental are only generous with other people’s time and money.

Also, “GM crops and their associated herbicides can harm birds, insects, amphibians, marine ecosystems, and soil organisms. They reduce bio-diversity, pollute water resources, and are unsustainable. For example, GM crops are eliminating habitat for monarch butterflies, whose populations are down 50% in the US. Roundup herbicide has been shown to cause birth defects in amphibians, embryonic deaths and endocrine disruptions, and organ damage in animals even at very low doses. GM canola has been found growing wild in North Dakota and California, threatening to pass on its herbicide tolerant genes on to weeds.” Institute for Responsible Technology

If I may, “The American Academy of Environmental Medicine (AAEM) urges doctors to prescribe non-GMO diets for all patients. They cite animal studies showing organ damage, gastrointestinal and immune system disorders, accelerated aging, and infertility. Human studies show how genetically modified (GM) food can leave material behind inside us, possibly causing long-term problems. Genes inserted into GM soy, for example, can transfer into the DNA of bacteria living inside us, and that the toxic insecticide produced by GM corn was found in the blood of pregnant women and their unborn fetuses.

Numerous health problems increased after GMOs were introduced in 1996. The percentage of Americans with three or more chronic illnesses jumped from 7% to 13% in just 9 years; food allergies skyrocketed, and disorders such as autism, reproductive disorders, digestive problems, and others are on the rise. Although there is not sufficient research to confirm that GMOs are a contributing factor, doctors groups such as the AAEM tell us not to wait before we start protecting ourselves, and especially our children who are most at risk.

The American Public Health Association and American Nurses Association are among many medical groups that condemn the use of GM bovine growth hormone, because the milk from treated cows has more of the hormone IGF-1 (insulin-like growth factor 1)―which is linked to cancer.” The institute for responsible technology.
