Study: Monsanto's Roundup Herbicide Linked to Cancer, Autism, Parkinson's
Glyphosate, the active ingredient in Roundup, may be "the most biologically disruptive chemical in our environment," - Andrea Germanos, staff writerThe active ingredient in Monsanto's Roundup herbicide may be "the most biologically disruptive chemical in our environment," being responsible for a litany of health disorders and diseases including Parkinson’s, cancer and autism, according to a new study.
Looking at the impacts of glyphosate on gut bacteria, Samsel and Seneff found that the herbicide "enhances the damaging effects of other food borne chemical residues and environmental toxins," and is a “textbook example” of "the disruption of homeostasis by environmental toxins."
The researchers point to a potential long list of disorders that glyphosate, in combination with other environmental toxins, could contribute to, including inflammatory bowel disease, obesity, depression, ADHD, autism, Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, ALS, multiple sclerosis, cancer, cachexia, infertility, and developmental malformations.
The herbicide's "Negative impact on the body is insidious and manifests slowly over time as inflammation damages cellular systems throughout the body," they write.

People need to be aware of this.
As long as they continue to ingest this substance which is in the food chain, they'll be sick sick sick.
No drug, no treatment, no nothing will offset the damage that has been and is continuing to be done to persons that are susceptible to this contaminant.
How can we eliminate this from our diets?
I try to eat only organic foods and watch out for those meats. The food being fed to cattle, etc. in contains this crap and yes, they know it.
If you buy range-free meats that are from a local company (as I am fortunate to have nearby to where I live) I suspect they could be safe as long as they are not being fed GM'D Monsanto food sprinkled with Round Up Ready! I still do not tend to eat much of anything "meat" because no, I don't trust these 'effers one tiny little bit.
Awareness needs to be brought to this CRITICAL issue!
This is what is causing so many people to die young and be so very sick.
Thanks again for paying attention to this.
This is THE PROBLEM that no drug out there can "fix". 
& a shameless to go w/it!!!
And I especially thank you for your well wishes. I don't get many of them being I've never believed the B.S. on these MS drugs, esp. given the studies presented. Huh?
I am doing the best I can one day at a time. Some days are better than others but I shall add, I am far from being dead and gone.
Thanks again and I'm glad to share this info. with anyone out there that cares to be aware of what is going on and why so much sickness and death in middle-aged adults.
I had four cousins -- all men. They died one right behind the next of cancer. The oldest of them lived to be 54 years old. What the hell!? 
On edit: I don't like to mention the fact that I HAD a younger brother that died of cancer at the age of 42 years. He never smoked, never drank, never messed with drugs; lived a "clean" life so to speak but his diet ... OMG what a McD's nightmare it was. He died of metastacized cancer; dead in ~6 mos. Damn damn damn!!!
Culprit = the Monsanto contaminated environment in which we live and tobacco is doing no good at all either.
