how incomplete your research on Round Up and GMOs is.

Is Monsanto’s Roundup linked to a deadly kidney disease?

http://ecowatch.com/2014/02/26/study-connects-monsantos-roundup-to-fatal-kidney-disease-epidemic/

ww.inquisitr.com/1151998/monsantos-roundup-ready-linked-to-kidney-disease-study/

Right now Monsanto is scrambling to keep the epidemic quiet. But as the problem grows in America and more and more people are going on dialysis (Big money for the medical community.) It's going to be common knowledge. Just like there were fools who claimed smoking did NOT cause cancer, there are fools who will forever believe GMOs and Round Up have nothing to do with why they are currently on dialysis.

Amazing how the American people are so willing to risk their lives so some huge corporation can make more money by poisoning them.

There is no roundup residue on any GMO corn, so you're safe there. eom MohRokTah Mar 2015 #3

Not ON the corn. It's IN the corn, if you believe Monsanto. n/t pnwmom Mar 2015 #8

The leaves absorb the Roundup and from there it goes to the rest of the plant. pnwmom Mar 2015 #14

I don't believe you MohRokTah Mar 2015 #19

I don't believe you, and I certainly don't believe Monsanto. sabrina 1 Mar 2015 #45

Monsanto says it's IN the corn. It gets absorbed through the leaves and "translocates" pnwmom Mar 2015 #13

IT does not end up in the seeds MohRokTah Mar 2015 #23

Yes, it ends up in the kernels. The only question is whether you believe Monsanto that the levels are always very low. pnwmom Mar 2015 #27

No, it doesn't. eom MohRokTah Mar 2015 #28

So you think this Monsanto PhD is lying? pnwmom Mar 2015 #30

Low as in statistically negligible Major Nikon Mar 2015 #47

According to Monsanto. But the FDA doesn't measure it, so we're just supposed to trust Monsanto. pnwmom Mar 2015 #50

So even if it doesn't end up in the seed, you do acknowledge that it is in the plant? A Simple Game Mar 2015 #52

Sure, which is why it is being banned in more and more countries every year. sabrina 1 Mar 2015 #18
