The second part of our glyphosate roundup series reveals the science behind the harm caused by the most popular herbicide in history. Learn the details of the inside information that Monsanto has been keeping from the public about the many diseases likely to result from a substance its producers claim “can be used safely,” “is not carcinogenic,” and “promotes environmental health.”
We meet with molecular biochemist Dr Anthony Samsel who has published 6 studies on the ways that glyphosate makes it’s way into our bodies and results in disease. Dr. Samsel says, “Virtually every meal that Americans eat is contaminated by glyphosate. About 95% of the food supply in this country is contaminated with glyphosate. From each and every meal where you ingest residues of glyphosate about 1% to 1.5% of the residues of glyphosate wind up in your proteins and in your tissues. It becomes part of you. And when it does, it corrupts those proteins.”
