Proof The Bible Is True

“I read an article which stated that Monsanto hopes to bring to market in a few years GMO wheat, which in my opinion would be a catastrophe since wheat is so widely used in food products. It would also mean the application of vast new amounts of Roundup weedkiller on these GMO wheat fields, hardly anything we need in light of what’s reported below.”  Admin

A new study published in the January issue of International Journal of Toxicology titled, “Glyphosate Commercial Formulation Causes Cytotoxicity, Oxidative Effects, and Apoptosis on Human Cells: Differences With its Active Ingredient,” raises renewed concern that formulations of the world’s most popular herbicide glyphosate (e.g. Roundup), used primarily in the production of GM food, represent a serious human health threat.

Researchers studied the effects of a glyphosate-based formulation on human cells, at dilutions far below agricultural applications. The researchers discovered that while glyphosate and its amino acid metabolite, aminomethylphosphonic acid (AMPA), showed little to no observable toxic effects in isolation, a glyphosate-based formulation containing adjuvants produced a variety of adverse effects on cellular oxidative balance, including the following signs of oxidative stress:

Increases in reactive oxygen species

Increases in nitrotyrosine formation

Increases in superoxide dismutase activity

Increases in glutathione levels

The glyphosate formulation studied also triggered two ‘death proteins’ in human cells known as caspase 3/7, inducing pathways that activate programmed cell death (apoptosis), a clear sign of significant toxicity.
