The lights are still on and the music is still playing, but the company’s foundational framework has sustained a devastating and likely fatal blow beneath the surface, and is currently sinking into the abyss – and Bayer, Monsanto’s […]

12 reasons why even a low level of glyphosate exposure is unsafe
Proponents of GMOs and Glyphosate-based herbicides and staunch believers in the EPA have long argued that low levels of glyphosate exposure are safe for humans. Even our own EPA tells us that Americans can consume 17 times more glyphosate in our drinking water than European residents. The EWG asserts that 160 ppb of glyphosate found in breakfast cereal is […]

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.

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 […]

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 […]
