Monsanto’s legacy upon the earth: Killing bees, creating diseases

Monsanto Corporation spent millions to defeat genetically modified labeling in the last election. They won, too! The only state to pass a GMO labeling law: Vermont. Action by Monsanto executives: suing them in court to stop the labeling process.

Twenty years ago, one child in 20,000 suffered from autism. Today, that number renders one child in 110 live births ends up with autism.

Why? The makers of Agent Orange used in the Vietnam War to destroy rain forests, Monsanto Corporation, continues to poison the US food chain with its variety of chemicals such as Roundup. Evidence points to glyphosate toxicity from the overuse of Monsanto’s Roundup herbicide on our food.

MIT researcher Stephanie Seneff, PhD, published 170 peer-reviews on toxic poisoning. She concentrated on the relationship between nutrition and health as to Alzheimer’s, autism and cardiovascular diseases.

At a conference last month, in a special panel discussion about GMOs, she stunned the audience when she declared, “At today’s rate, by 2025, one in two children will be autistic.”

Nonetheless, Monsanto bribes, bends and manipulates our U.S. Congress to remain benign to the toxic poisoning of our foods through it Frankensteination of corn, wheat, soy and other crops.

“She noted that the side effects of autism closely mimic those of glyphosate toxicity, and presented data showing a remarkably consistent correlation between the use of Roundup on crops (and the creation of Roundup-ready GMO crop seeds) with rising rates of autism,” said the report. “Children with autism have biomarkers indicative of excessive glyphosate, including zinc and iron deficiency, low serum sulfate, seizures, and mitochondrial disorder.”

But you won’t see the report or any change in the Main Stream Media. Too much money changes hands to keep the status quo while you and your kids suffer poisoning at the supermarket because you can’t tell an organically grown “real” vegetable from all the GMO foods.

A fellow panelist said, “All of the 70 or so people in attendance were squirming, likely because they now had serious misgivings about serving their kids, or themselves, anything with corn or soy, which are nearly all genetically modified and thus tainted with Roundup and its glyphosate.”

Glyphosates reach into corn and soy, all soft drinks and candies sweetened with corn syrup and all chips and cereals that contain soy fillers have small amounts of glyphosate in them, as do our beef and poultry since cattle and chicken are fed GMO corn or soy.

The report said, “Wheat is often sprayed with Roundup just prior to being harvested, which means that all non-organic bread and wheat products would also be sources of glyphosate toxicity. The amount of glyphosate in each product may not be large, but the cumulative effect (especially with as much processed food as Americans eat) could be devastating. A recent study shows that pregnant women living near farms where pesticides are applied have a 60% increased risk of children having an autism spectrum disorder.”

You face serious consequences if you continue buying GMO foods, packaged foods, soda pop, corn syrup-laced foods and all processed foods.

My wife and I shop at Natural Grocers, Whole Foods, Alfalfas and the Famer’s Markets in Golden, Colorado. We must control what we put into our bodies.

You cannot count on the USDA because Monsanto’s fingers extend into the inner most power bases in Washington DC to hide any facts on GMO consequences.

Earlier this year, Dr. Senneff spoke at the Autism One conference and presented many of the same facts; that presentation is available on YouTube.

She said, “Monsanto claims that Roundup is harmless to humans. Bacteria, fungi, algae, parasites, and plants use a seven-step metabolic route known as the shikimate pathway for the biosynthesis of aromatic amino acids; glyphosate inhibits this pathway, causing the plant to die, which is why it’s so effective as a herbicide. Monsanto says humans don’t have this shikimate pathway, so it’s perfectly safe.”

Dr. Seneff said however, “Our gut bacteria do have this pathway, and that’s crucial because these bacteria supply our body with crucial amino acids. Roundup thus kills beneficial gut bacteria, allowing pathogens to grow; interferes with the synthesis of amino acids including methionine, which leads to shortages in critical neurotransmitters and folate; chelates (removes) important minerals like iron, cobalt and manganese; and much more.”

Glyphosate shows up high quantities in the breast milk of American mothers, at anywhere from 760 to 1,600 times the allowable limits in European drinking water. Urine testing shows Americans have ten times the glyphosate accumulation as Europeans.

“In my view, the situation is almost beyond repair,” Dr. Seneff said after her presentation. “We need to do something drastic.”

What can you do?

Sign or start petitions in your state to label all GMOs. Find out how: http://www.saynotogmos.org ; www.nongmoproject.org ; www.thedailymeal.com

Shop at “Organic only” grocers like Natural Grocers, Whole Foods and Alfalfa’s. Also, Farmer’s Markets.

Demand that your grocery store offer organically grown and no chemically induced foods.

Avoid all boxed, canned and packaged foods. Eat organically grown meats, fowl and fish.

Write letters to the editor, to your radio talk show hosts to address GMOs and Monsanto’s criminal behavior.
