Showing Original Post only (View all)YEA! Ring of Fire plans to go after Monsanto's Roundup big time in the next few weeks! [View all]
Mike Papantonio, America's best trial lawyer and Farron Cousins editor of the Trial Lawyers mag talk about health issues of glyphosate and Roundup. Cousins says it's almost as dangerous as DDT - just watered down a little.
If you put Roundup in your yard, within 30 minutes glyphosate is in your body. It's not just causing cancer - it's causing many other diseases - alzheimers, birth defects, breast cancer, colitius, heart disease, diabetes, ms, etc all linked through studies. "It's a chemical designed to kill living cells."
"EPA just an extension of Monsanto." Ring of Fire plans to be talking about this alot in the next few weeks because they say corporate media is not covering this.
Monsantos Roundup has been linked to a myriad of health issues ranging from cancers to neurological defects to infertility. Still, were pouring 100 million tons of this toxin into the environment every year. Americas Lawyer Mike Papantonio and Farron Cousins discuss the dangers that Monsanto is hiding from the public.
