Recent research suggests that even low exposure to glyphosate can contribute to liver damage

Back in 2015, the American Liver Foundation estimated that at least one in four Americans was living with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), an illness that can affect even those who drink little or no alcohol. People in their 40s and 50s are most vulnerable, especially those who carry extra weight around their bellies. But […]

Recent lawsuit says the chemical cocktail comprising Roundup is more toxic than just glyphosate on its own

Glyphosate, the active ingredient in Monsanto’s leading herbicide, Roundup, has been heavily criticized for its toxic effects on humans and the environment. Now, it turns out that glyphosate isn’t the only thing that makes Roundup dangerous. While glyphosate can be a problem in and of itself, when combined with the “inactive” ingredients in Roundup, an […]

Monsanto “scientists” have been releasing dubious studies since the 1970s and the EPA has let much of it slide — why are we only learning about this now?

When you hear about the dangers of pesticides, it might be tempting to think that it’s a new discovery made possible by increasingly sophisticated technology. Now that we know they’re bad, their use will be banned, and humanity will be spared, right? That’s what you’d like to think, but the truth is that the very […]

A deadly pattern of collusion and deceit: Both industry and regulators are aware of the dangers of pesticides

When corporate interests and government agencies collide, you get a veritable Pandora’s box of corruption, collusion and deceit. And when those corporate interests include toxic pesticides, you get the Poison Papers. Collectively, the Poison Papers are 20,000 pages of documents which prove government agencies and industry cronies have worked together to obscure the truth about […]

Is Monsanto going down like Big Tobacco? FAKE SCIENCE about to be exposed on a global scale

Monsanto is showing some clear signs that they’re getting nervous as their dishonest practices come significantly closer to being brought to light on a grand scale. Last week, the peer-reviewed manuscripts of the pilot phase of a study known as the Global Glyphosate Study were revealed at a European Parliament press conference, and it’s all […]

The politics surrounding GMOs: Bureaucrats don’t care about the environment and are more interested in money

By and large, government bureaucrats in America and Europe don’t care two sticks about the environment or public health. They only care about the profits promised by big businesses that are using GMOs to take over the world’s food supplies, an article in GreenMedInfo stated. It started in the U.S. in the 90s. The executives […]

The email communications, uncovered by a Freedom of Information Act request, revealed Monsanto’s forceful influence over the EPA and showed […]

Tennessee becomes the fourth state to restrict the use of Monsanto herbicide

Tennessee has become the fourth state to impose restrictions on Monsanto’s flagship herbicide, dicamba. Farmers in the state have stated that the herbicide has drifted to neighboring farms, damaging crops that have not been genetically-modified to withstand it. Tennessee follows Arkansas, Missouri, and Kansas in holding global giant, Monsanto, responsible for environmental damage. Dicamba is the […]

New study confirms Bayer’s neonic pesticides are destroying honeybee pollinators… yet the EPA does nothing

A new study affirmed that neonicotinoid pesticides — also known as “neonics” which are chemically related to nicotine — harm both honey bees and wild bees, as reported by BBC. Researchers found that the chemical exposure decreased the survival of honey bee hives during winter, while bumblebees and solitary bees produced fewer queens. The study, […]
