Argentinian Study Finds Roundup Ingredient Causes Birth DefectsElizabeth Renter Roundup Ingredient Shown to Cause Birth Defects According to the Latin American Herald Tribune, researchers with the National Council for Scientific and Technical Research conducted the study on amphibian embryos. The lead researcher says their results are completely comparable to what would happen in the development of a human embryo. The noteworthy thing is that there are no studies of embryos on the world level and none where glyphosate is injected into embryos, said professor Andres Carrasco, one of the lead authors of the study. The amounts shown to cause birth defects were said to be much lower than those levels used in fumigations. However, its important to note that the glyphosate was injected directly into the fetuses, not administered via food products, as it would be in humans. Still, its possible, because our food feeds our cells, which in turn would feed an embryo, that digestion of foods containing the chemical would have similar, though perhaps not as dramatic effects. And of course this isnt the only time glyphosate and Monsantos Roundup has been shown to cause birth defects. A district called Ituzaingo, outside of Cordoba, has seen about 300 cancer cases in the last eight years. This district houses only about 5,000 people. In communities like Ituzaingo its already too late, but we have to have a preventative system, to demand that the companies give us security frameworks and, above all, to have very strict regulations for fumigation, which nobody is adhering to out of ignorance or greed, said Carrasco. Carrasco, and others, are calling on the government of Argentina to fund more in-depth research into the effects of glyphosate on humans. He says, The companies say that drinking a glass of glysophate is healthier than drinking a glass of milk, but the fact is that theyve used us as guinea pigs.
