Does The U.S. EPA Have ALL Of Monsantos Hidden Science Regarding Glyphosate And GMOs?By Catherine J. Frompovich Do you really know the chemicals and GMO ingredients, which the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) probably EVEN doesnt know many of them due to Monsantos probable unreported and/or hidden science not surrendered as part of the approval process for either glyphosate, Roundup and Roundup Ready seeds for soy, corn, canola, alfalfa, cotton, and sorghumwith wheat under development! Its bad enough that numerous crops are staged with glyphosate spraying several days before harvest, which impregnates them with glyphosate residues, and that could be a contributing factor and reason for gluten intolerance. Genetically modifying wheat is NOT a good idea, since wheat is the Western worlds grain, similar to rice being the Eastern worlds grain. And Golden Rice hasnt been accepted very well either. Monsantos lobbyist, Patrick Moore, refuses to drink some Roundup after proclaiming it wont hurt you because, as he says, Im not an idiot! What does it tell you about that herbicide and, especially, Monsantos own lobbyist, who was promoting GMO Golden Rice, and their products? https://youtu.be/AbfJ4VwHIqw? Heres an interesting article from the Harvard University Graduate School of Arts and Sciences website titled Why Roundup Ready Crops Have Lost Their Allure. Still, corporate interests are pushing federal approval agencies to inundate the human and animal food chains with many more GMOs. EcoWatch produced the article 15 Health Problems Linked to Monsantos Roundup, which include: ADHD, Alzheimers disease, Anencephaly (birth defects), Autism, Brain cancer, Cancer, Celiac disease and gluten intolerance, chronic Kidney disease, Colitis, Depression, Diabetes, Heart disease, Hypothyroidism, Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBS) and Leaky Gut Syndrome, Liver disease, Lou Gehrigs disease (ALS), Multiple Sclerosis (MS), Non-Hodgkin lymphoma, Parkinson disease, Pregnancy problems (infertility, miscarriages, stillbirths), Obesity, Reproductive problems, and Respiratory illnesses. Theres been a rather interesting rumor circulating around Monsanto and GMO foods for quite a while now and it is: In the Monsanto corporate dining room, only organically-grown foods must be served! Can a whistleblower come forth to provide proof of that? If that is factual, then thats something not only the public must know, but all regulatory agencies dealing with approving their respective aspects of GMOs: the U.S. FDA, USDA and EPA! In the meantime, Food Democracy NOW has a petition website going titled Tell the EPA to Release ALL of Monsantos Hidden Data on Glyphosate and GMOs, which I heartily recommend readers read and sign now: http://action.fooddemocracynow.org/sign/tell_the_EPA_to_Release_ALL_Monsantos_secret_cancer_studies/?t=4referring_akid=1953.1157570.65UM7U Are you aware that in 1985, the EPAs own scientists declared glyphosate to be a Category C possible human carcinogen after reviewing studies submitted by Monsanto during the original approval? However, there are photographs of two-year-old rats from GMO feed studies that resulted in massive tumors. Monsantos studies presented for GMO approvals stopped at 90 DAYS, not the normal two-year-life-cycle of rats! Relative to Monsantos 90-day study, EFSA (European Food Safety Authority) stated, With respect to the detection of potential unintended eects in whole GM food and feed, it is unlikely that substances present in small amounts and with a low toxic potential will result in any observable (unintended) eects in a 90-day rodent feeding study, as they would be below the no-observed-eect-level and thus of unlikely impact to human health at normal intake levels. Laboratory animal feeding studies of 90-days duration appear to be sucient to pick up adverse eects of diverse compounds that would also give adverse eects after chronic exposure. http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.2903/j.efsa.2008.1057/epdf (Pg. S-4) However, Seralinis long-term study linking glyphosate to rat tumors was unfortunately retracted from the journal Food and Chemical Toxicology due to pressure from Monsanto lobbyists. The results of the study have since been republished in Environmental Sciences Europe. [1] Look whats happened to food in Europe, which previously was relatively clean of GMOs! In June 2015, EFSA issued a new guidance document on the information that companies need to provide when applying for renewed authorisation to import GM plants for food and feed into the European Union. The European Commission grants authorisations to place GM food and feed on the European market for a period of ten years. [3] Could that impact your food shopping and buying practices regarding foods produced in Europe? It certainly ought to affect what previously was considered GMO-free foods coming from European countries. What do you think? Arent consumers entitled to know whats in the food we are eating, e.g., GMOs and how that food was grown or produced/manufactured? Shouldnt there be reverse advertising on all food labels, e.g., no GMOs or GMO-free? Shouldnt the PLU identity number 8 be mandatory for all foods containing GMOs or grown as GMOs? [2] Currently, the PLU identity number 9 identifies organically-grown food. Wont you please tell the EPA what you think about GMOs and sign the petition?

Maybe after January 20th Trumps nominee to run the EPA, Scott Pruitt, can hopefully tell us. Or at the least get cracking on that question Monsanto execs should be a beacon of light by eating that which they produce, unless they know it is not healthy, of course, which is why they serve only organic foods in their headquarters. The link to the DemocracyNow petition does not work on my computer, sign of the fake news censorship, with AP being on the suspect list, among others?? I feel so much better now knowing that Mike Pompeo, who rammed the DARK ACT through congress, might be our next CIA director. The natural progression from him would be You dont have the right to know the TRUTH. This is so scary. When I heard he was a friend of Trey Gowdy I imploded a bit. My hero, Trey Gowdy went to school with him and called him a friend on the news (not main stream). The ONLY negative check Ive found to give Trey Gowdy. Mr. Gowdy has a lot on his plate these days and just has not had time delve into GMO, I am hoping. Us peons will never have the right to know the truth. The truth is power. AND THEY want 6 billion of us peons to disappearTHEY dont care about us. We are only a part of their Agenda to rule the world and by golly, most of us are allowing them to do just thatour different parties are being nudged to hate and focus on the other party instead of getting along to save this republic that we all think is so groovy. Our constitution has been treated as if it is nothing more than old ink and parchment. Wish that would happen with the Bible. Humans that know comfort will do anything even make obvious lies into the truth to stay comfortable. (My favorite is the Pentagon hit 9/11there was NO plane, yet you ask and youll find 4 out of 5 believing they saw a planesame with the Pennsylvania crash)! Shame on us. Our job is to be vigilant and care for our rights if we want to keep them. Those that do question are called TERRORISTS!! Wake up please!!!
