Long Exposure to Tiny Amounts of Monsanto’s Roundup May Damage Liver, Kidneys
September 2nd, 2015Via: Russia Today:
Long-term intake of the Monsanto’s most popular Roundup herbicide, even in very small amounts lower than permissible in US water, may lead to kidney and liver damage, a new study claims.
The research, conducted by an international group of scientists from the UK, Italy and France, studied the effects of prolonged exposure to small amounts of the Roundup herbicide and one of its main components – glyphosate.
In their study, published in Environmental Health on August 25, the scientists particularly focused on the influence of Monsanto’s Roundup on gene expression in the kidneys and liver.
In the new two-year study, which extended the findings from one conducted in 2012, the team added tiny amounts of Roundup to water that was given to rats in doses much smaller than allowed in US drinking water.
Scientists say that some of the rats experienced “25 percent body weight loss, presence of tumors over 25 percent bodyweight, hemorrhagic bleeding, or prostration.”

Thank you Kevin and Windhorse for this article. I learned the hard and the too late way of the health effects of GMOs. My Mother passed in 2010 and was on a liquid diet for about 10 years – the last two or three years of her life she was old, very old, but it was her digestive system that did her in after years on a product called Jevity with these ingredients:

I only learned too late in the game about soy and corn and I don’t think many (except on this website mentioned the dangers of soy). But all soy and corn are GMO.

That Jevity was a double whammy for my Mom. I still cringe thinking about it. Now, I don’t even care if says organic soy. I avoid it. I even buy soy free chicken feed. Soy was originally grown in the U.S. to make cardboard boxes:

Stay away from this crap. It will kill you.
I should also add that I tried several other nutritional sources during the last 3 years of my mother’s life including the Weston Price baby food formula. The weird thing is my Mother’s system seemed to reject all of these other formulas. I believe now she was so steeped in the GMO’s, that just like the GMO plants, she needed more of this pesticide food to thrive.
In the U.S. ALL corn and soy must be considered GMO (Glyphosphate). Parents don’t let your children or yourselves buy corn chips, etc unless certified organic. Today I walked through Costco and, as as a nutritional clinician, was happy to see the number of non-GMO labels.
