Last month, the European Commission proposed to extend the validity of glyphosate license by 10 year.
Glyphosate is a widely effective organophosphorus herbicide, which sells well in more than 30 countries around the world.
However, the use of this herbicide in the EU has been controversial for a long time, and many people suspect that this herbicide may cause cancer.
20 16, France and Malta are opposed to allowing the use of this herbicide. Seven countries, including Germany and Italy, abstained at that time, so the resolution could not be passed. This time France will still vote against it.
However, this event, which led to the split of the EU and the opposition between supporters and opponents, quickly ushered in a dramatic turning point!
Glyphosate can remove all weeds, but only Monsanto's transgenic seeds are not affected.
Le Monde reporter Stéphane Foucart published a document, revealing that the key paragraphs of the report made by Austrian biochemist Helmut Burtscher for the NGO Global 2000 were simply copied and pasted!
Moreover, these "plagiarized" documents come from the glyphosate working group documents released by Monsanto 20 12, which are also promotional documents used by more than 20 European companies to sell Monsanto products. The EU report has dozens or even hundreds of pages in common with it!
Hearing the news suddenly, I collapsed. ...
This is not serious, rigorous or scientific, is it?
Plagiarism, copying, pasting, and even propaganda documents are all objects. Isn't this the patent of domestic scientists?
However, since September 15, major European media have revealed more relevant contents one after another, which completely confirmed this scandal.
20 12 French scientists announce secret research results. They fed 200 mice with genetically modified corn from Monsanto. 13 months later, the incidence of breast, liver and kidney tumors was 2-5 times higher than that of normal mice. By the end of 24 months, 50-80% of female mice had tumor lesions. Among them, the tumor lesions of female mice are mostly breast cancer, and the tumor is as big as table tennis, reaching 1/4.
The reason why this research institution conducts secret research is that it doesn't want powerful American multinational seed companies to get their hands on it.
There are also case-control studies in the United States, Canada and Sweden. After excluding the influence of other pesticides, it was found that occupational exposure to glyphosate would increase the risk of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Long-term exposure to glyphosate higher than MCL may cause kidney and reproductive system damage.
The reports processed by the German Federal Institute for Risk Assessment (BfR) are all implemented and evaluated by the "reporting country". In fact, most of the research conclusions come from Monsanto interest groups.
The most important chapters-carcinogenicity, genotoxicity and reproductive toxicity-draw lessons from the positive conclusions of Monsanto experts. The 40 pages about genotoxicity are almost identical.
There are more than a dozen research reports, and each study summarizes and evaluates the harm of glyphosate. If the evaluation is positive, the study will be included in the evaluation results; On the contrary, negative comments were declared "unreliable" and excluded.
In this way, including the research reports published in authoritative journals, were drowned out by the articles washed out by Monsanto. ...
Even the conclusions of independent scientists or research institutions are ignored. Even European research institutions, the International Centre for Research on Cancer (CIRC) and the World Health Organization (WHO) were flooded by Monsanto. ...
20 15 On March 20th, the China Insurance Regulatory Commission published a shocking special issue of 1 12, and determined that glyphosate produced by Monsanto, the most widely used pesticide in the world, is genotoxic-it can damage DNA, is carcinogenic to animals, and is also a "possible" carcinogen to humans.
However, since then, the China Insurance Regulatory Commission has been hit repeatedly: its credibility and impartiality have been questioned, the professionalism of its staff has been slandered, lawyers have harassed it, and research funds have been cut ... until this scandal broke out.
EFSA, the European Food Safety Agency, and the European Institute of Chemical Products have long been captured by Monsanto and turned into fifty cents advocating the safety and harmlessness of glyphosate.
Overseas monarchs used to think that all kinds of horror legends about Monsanto are evil enough to end human legends, and nine times out of ten they are all fabricated, but now I know that all these are true!
This is no exaggeration!
After carefully checking the information, I found that this is not the first time for Monsanto, or even the second, third or fourth time. ...
