roundup will kill you as it does others, and here is some evidence in the form of a tip of the iceberg;

Monsanto pressured a scientific journal to retract a study about its flagship herbicide Roundup. This is according to a new report that alleges that the company launched a concerted effort against the author of a study that found that rats exposed to the glyphosate-based herbicide over an extended period of time developed tumors.

Animal studies in favor of Roundup had only been conducted within a span of 90 days or less. In addition, short-term trials or trials using just glyphosate alone were used as a basis to market Roundup. True enough, Monsanto used a 90-day study conducted in 2004 as a basis for Roundup’s regulatory approval.

These short-term trials served two purposes for Monsanto. First, it did not allow further analysis of the other chemicals in Roundup. Second, it prevented the observation of tumor formation in animals – which usually occurred at about 100 days. Keeping the trials at 90 days or less, before tumors started to develop in animals, allowed Monsanto to promote Roundup as non-carcinogenic.

However, French scientist Gilles-Eric Seralini took Monsanto’s study further. He extended the 2004 study’s 90-day duration to two years, which is the ordinary life span of rats. He fed one group of rats with corn genetically modified to resist glyphosate and water laced with the herbicide. On the other hand, he fed another group of rats – the control group – regular corn and water.

Seralini found that 80 percent of rats that consumed Roundup for two years developed tumors, compared to only 30 percent in the control group. He also found that rats who consumed glyphosate had larger tumors – between 30 percent and 130 percent – compared to the control group. His findings ultimately suggested that Roundup did cause cancer, contrary to the common belief at that time.........read more......
