Can Be Lethal to Your Liver, Yet Most Eat It Daily
It used to be easy to know what was healthy and what was not. But today, foods that look healthy on the surface can contain this ingredient that's more toxic than DDT, and has also been found to be lethal to human liver cells. Be careful...

Story at-a-glance

  • Recent research reveals that glyphosate-based formulations pose a threat to human health through cytotoxicity and oxidative effects
  • Glyphosate-based formulas were also found to be lethal to human liver cells
  • Previous research suggests glyphosate, the active ingredient in Monsanto’s broad-spectrum herbicide Roundup, might be an important factor in the development of chronic disease
  • Glyphosate toxicity—whether in isolation or in formulation—implicates genetically engineered foods as being potentially far more hazardous to your health than less contaminated crops
  • The Grocery Manufacturers Association falsely insinuates that GMO labeling is in violation of the First Amendment, which protects commercial speech, and therefore unconstitutional
  • One of the highest rated law firms in the US has reviewed Vermont’s pending GMO labeling bill, concluding it is constitutional and would stand up to challenge by industry
