Starting a new veg plot.

A 2011 report by Earth Open Source asserts that the roundup active ingredient - glyphosate - has caused birth defects in laboratory animal tests[16]. I would question the initial assumptions of any study done by a group called "Earth Open Source". Most likely, they simply decided that they wanted to see certain results, then did what they could in the study to try to make them happen. You say you have a degree in Environmental Studies, but you question a groups findings because of their name? Were you taught the scientific method? It has very little to do with names. Then when confronted with "Health Effects" of Roundup, or it's "Ecological Effects", or its sale using "false advertising and scientific fraud", you duck the questions. Then you pose a question," Yep, applying various chemicals directly to a human embryo will do that. Peanut butter and jelly probably will, too. However, in real life they are a bit less likely to come into direct contact with a human embryo, don't you think? Then using your vast knowledge of Environmental Studies, you don't respond to the answer. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21338670 Reprod Toxicol. 2011 May;31(4):528-33. Epub 2011 Feb 18. Maternal and fetal exposure to pesticides associated to genetically modified foods in Eastern Townships of Quebec, Canada. Aris A, Leblanc S. Source Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, University of Sherbrooke Hospital Centre, Sherbrooke, Quebec, Canada; Clinical Research Centre of Sherbrooke University Hospital Centre, Sherbrooke, Quebec, Canada; Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences, University of Sherbrooke, Sherbrooke, Quebec, Canada. Abstract Pesticides associated to genetically modified foods (PAGMF), are engineered to tolerate herbicides such as glyphosate (GLYP) and gluphosinate (GLUF) or insecticides such as the bacterial toxin bacillus thuringiensis (Bt). The aim of this study was to evaluate the correlation between maternal and fetal exposure, and to determine exposure levels of GLYP and its metabolite aminomethyl phosphoric acid (AMPA), GLUF and its metabolite 3-methylphosphinicopropionic acid (3-MPPA) and Cry1Ab protein (a Bt toxin) in Eastern Townships of Quebec, Canada. Blood of thirty pregnant women (PW) and thirty-nine nonpregnant women (NPW) were studied. Serum GLYP and GLUF were detected in NPW and not detected in PW. Serum 3-MPPA and CryAb1 toxin were detected in PW, their fetuses and NPW. This is the first study to reveal the presence of circulating PAGMF in women with and without pregnancy, paving the way for a new field in reproductive toxicology including nutrition and utero-placental toxicities. -- What's the matter? Don't you like the National Institute of Health's name either? Not to worry, you should fit right in with Shelly, and Derald the Dim. -- "Fascism should more properly be called corporatism because it is the merger of state and corporate power." - Benito Mussolini. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hYIC0eZYEtI http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b_vN0--mHug |
