A Message to the EU: Address the Real Public Health Crisis by Banning Glyphosate

Colin Todhunter & Rosemary Mason

The herbicide glyphosate – the most widely used herbicide on the planet – is authorised for use in the EU until December 2022. The EU is currently assessing whether its licence should be renewed.

Environmentalist and campaigner Dr Rosemary Mason has just written an open letter to the head of the Pesticides Unit at the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), Jose Tarazona.

Mason wrote to Tarazona because the Rapporteur Member States (France, Hungary, the Netherlands and Sweden) tasked with risk assessing glyphosate and appointed by the European Commission in 2019, said on 21 June 2021 that there was no problem with glyphosate-based herbicides.

A tireless campaigner against glyphosate, Mason has produced dozens of lengthy reports over the last decade documenting how her former nature reserve in South Wales was destroyed by glyphosate used on adjoining areas and how that substance is a major contributory factor in spiralling rates of disease – a ‘silent’ public health crisis; silent only because the media and officials fail to acknowledge or report on it.

Indeed, to explain away the huge increases in various cancers and neurological disorders, officials cite ‘lifestyle behaviour’, poor diets or lack of exercise to divert attention from the elephant in the room and government collusion with the agrochemical sector.

Drawing on hundreds of peer-reviewed papers and official reports over the years, Mason has described in detail the devastating health and environmental impacts of glyphosate as well as the malfeasance and corruption that has led to this state of affairs.

Mason informs Tarazona that the European Commission has colluded with the US Environmental Protection Agency to allow Bayer to keep glyphosate on the market.

To support her claims, she enclosed a 5,900-word report with her letter informing Tarazona of the environmental devastation and severe public health crisis. Her report brings together recent research and analyses into the toxicity of glyphosate and industry dominance over regulatory processes.

What appears below is the first part of a two-part article based on Mason’s report. This first part briefly highlights aspects of the public health crisis resulting from the use of glyphosate-based herbicides. The second part will argue that glyphosate remains in use due to industry influence over regulatory processes.

Toxic Legacy

Dr Stephanie Seneff, a US scientist who works at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, has just published the book Toxic Legacy: How the Weedkiller Glyphosate is Destroying Our Health and the Environment. She has written an article on her family background and why she wrote the book.

Seneff says:

This organic chemical compound, C3H8NO5P, is much more toxic to life forms than we have been led to believe. Glyphosate’s mechanism of toxicity is unique and diabolical. It is a slow killer, slowly robbing you of your good health over time, until you finally succumb to incapacitating or life-threatening disease.”

Dr Don Huber, emeritus professor of plant pathophysiology at Purdue University, who has been studying glyphosate for 40 years and genetically modified (GM) Roundup-ready crops for 25 years, said some years ago:

Future historians may well look back upon our time and write, not about how many pounds of pesticide we did or didn’t apply, but how willing we are to sacrifice our children and future generations for this massive genetic engineering experiment that is based on flawed science and failed promises just to benefit the bottom line of commercial enterprise.”

When UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson was elected in 2019, he stood outside Downing Street and committed himself to:

…liberate the UK’s extraordinary bioscience sector from anti-genetic modification rules.”

Mason notes that the Department for Envionment & Rural Affairs authorises farmers to use all forms of Roundup (Monsanto’s – now Bayer – proprietary glyphosate-based herbicide) on crops in the UK. Many farmers in the UK claim they cannot do without it and are keen to start using GM Roundup-ready crops post-Brexit.

There is strong pressure on the European Commission from the Glyphosate Renewal Group, a group of manufacturers of glyphosate, who have asked for the licence for glyphosate to be renewed for 15 years from December 2022.

In June 2021, the Rapporteur Member States from France, Hungary, the Netherlands and Sweden apparently gave the green light. They see no signs that glyphosate can cause cancer or any other issue. But evidence is emerging that they used flawed industry science (to be described in part two of this article).

Devastating health impacts

In August 2018, samples of four oat-based UK cereals were sent to the Health Research Institute Laboratories in the US following a newspaper report about US children eating weedkiller in their oat-based cereals. The following are the results of the analysis on the four oat-based cereals sent to the laboratory.

Dr John Fagan, the director of the lab, said:

These results are consistently concerning. The levels consumed in a single daily helping of any one of these cereals, even the one with the lowest level of contamination, is sufficient to put the person’s glyphosate levels above the levels that cause fatty liver disease in rats (and likely in people).”

Washington State University (WSU) researchers have found a variety of diseases and other health problems in the second- and third-generation offspring of rats exposed to glyphosate. In the first study of its kind, the researchers saw descendants of exposed rats developing prostate, kidney and ovarian diseases, obesity and birth abnormalities.

Michael Skinner, a WSU professor of biological sciences, and his colleagues exposed pregnant rats to the herbicide between their eighth and 14th days of gestation. The dose – half the amount expected to show no adverse effect – produced no apparent ill effects on either the parents or the first generation of offspring.

But, writing in the journal Scientific Reports, the researchers say they saw “dramatic increases” in several pathologies affecting the second and third generations. The second generation had ‘significant increases’ in testis, ovary and mammary gland diseases as well as obesity. In third-generation males, the researchers saw a 30% increase in prostate disease – three times that of a control population. The third generation of females had a 40% increase in kidney disease or four times that of the controls.

More than one-third of the second-generation mothers had unsuccessful pregnancies, with most of those affected dying. Two out of five males and females in the third generation were obese.

Skinner and his colleagues call this phenomenon generational toxicology and they have seen it over the years in fungicides, pesticides, jet fuel, the plastics compound bisphenol A, the insect repellent DEET and the herbicide atrazine. At work are epigenetic changes that turn genes on and off, often because of environmental influences.

Roundup kills bumble bees

Although Mason mainly discusses the health impacts of glyphosate in her report to Tarazona, she did mention at least one disturbing environmental impact. In April 2021, the Journal of Applied Ecology published an article ‘Roundup causes high levels of mortality following contact exposure in bumble bees.’

The article’s abstract stated that pollinators underpin global food production but are suffering significant declines across the world.

It went on to say:

Pesticides are thought to be important drivers of these declines. Herbicides are the most widely applied type of pesticides and are broadly considered ‘bee safe’ by regulatory bodies who explicitly allow their application directly onto foraging bees. We aimed to test the mortality effects of spraying the world’s most popular herbicide brand (Roundup) directly onto bumblebees (Bombus terrestris audax).”

The authors argue that Roundup products pose a significant hazard to bees, in both agricultural and urban systems and exposure of bees to them should be limited. They added that surfactants, or other co‐formulants, in herbicides and other pesticides may contribute to global bee declines.

They called for pesticide companies to release the full list of ingredients for each pesticide formulation, as lack of access to this information hampers research to determine safe exposure levels for beneficial insects in agro‐ecosystems.

Bayer’s multi-million-dollar headache

Mason asks Tarazona whether he has been following the trials against Monsanto in the US for concealing that its herbicide Roundup caused non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma.

She explains to him that three cases have been won against Monsanto/Bayer (Bayer bought Monsanto in 2018) and in 2021 there are thousands more awaiting to have their cases heard in court.

Attorney Robert F. Kennedy Jr said in 2018 that Bayer needs more than an aspirin to cure its Monsanto-sized headache.

Kennedy has been involved with some of these cases and has read enough of the scientific literature on glyphosate to conclude that there is cascading scientific evidence linking glyphosate to a constellation of other injuries that have become prevalent since its introduction, including obesity, depression, Alzheimer’s, ADHD, autism, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s, kidney and inflammatory bowel disease, brain, breast and prostate cancer, miscarriage, birth defects and declining sperm counts.

He added that strong science suggests glyphosate is the culprit in the exploding epidemics of celiac disease, colitis, gluten sensitivities, diabetes and non-alcoholic liver cancer which, for the first time, is attacking children as young as 10.

As if that is not worrying enough, Kennedy noted that researchers peg glyphosate as a potent endocrine disruptor, which interferes with sexual development in children. It is also a chelator that removes important minerals from the body and disrupts the microbiome, destroying beneficial bacteria in the human gut and triggering brain inflammation and other ill effects.

Although a Monsanto scientist claimed that glyphosate is excreted unchanged from the body, Mason cites a study by Ridley & Mirly (1988) which found bioaccumulation of glyphosate in bone, marrow, blood and glands (including thyroid, testes and ovaries) and major organs (heart, liver, lungs, kidneys, spleen and stomach). The paper was commissioned by Monsanto but was not published.

In a 1990 study conducted by Monsanto between 1987 and 1989 (again unpublished), glyphosate was found to induce a statistically-significant cataractous formation in the eyes of rats. Over the course of the study, cataract lens changes were seen in the low-, mid- and high dose groups in both male and female rats. The pathologist concluded that there was a glyphosate-treated related response for lens changes to the eyes.

Mason notes that the Assessment by the Rapporteur Member States tasked with risk assessing glyphosate have concluded that, based on the available ecotoxicological information glyphosate the current classification “Toxic to aquatic life with long-lasting effects” should be retained and the current classification as “causes serious eye damage” (H318) should be retained.

She therefore asks: how can a chemical like glyphosate still be on the market?

Mason notes that, according to the UN’s Global Chemicals Outlook II, glyphosate was at the top of the top ten products used on major crops in the United States, by volume, in 2016. Clothianidin (also manufactured by Bayer) is number ten.

She notes:

No wonder Bayer doesn’t want to lose its licence for glyphosate or for clothianidin, a long-acting neonicotinoid insecticide that is very persistent in the soil. Both chemicals are on the market illegally thanks to the corrupt EU and US regulatory authorities.”

And that is an issue which Mason draws Tarazona’s attention to and will be touched on in the second part of this article.

How to end hunger and the most diseases and how to finance a worldwide unconditional basic income: By far, the most common cause for disease is underfeeding (aka too less food) and malnutrition (aka the wrong food, especially too less fruits/vitamins and too less proteins). There are 800 Million humans, who are undernourished. With the Covid-subvention-monies or with a fraction of the money, the Western countries have spent for their wars, we could have build for everybody of these humans a little wooden house in Middle-Afrika or in Brazil, so they can grew their food (vegetables and fruits). And water for themselves and for their plants they can get on every little hill with the help of plastic-half-pipes, which they have to lay queer to the flank to collect rainwater. By doing this, we could have ended the world-hunger and the most diseases and the cause for hunger-forced mass-immigration. If… Read more »

Contrary to the received wisdom on the issue of population, the population levels – at least in the Northern Hemisphere – are falling, not rising. The fertility rate* necessary for reproduction ought to be approx 2.1, in fact no European state, East or West comes near to that figure. Population growth is either declining or static. Russia is a case in point, the Russian population has been frozen since the 1980s at around 146 million. The rest of Europe, particularly Eastern Europe is no better, in fact it is even more alarming. The same goes for Western Europe who augment their populations through mass immigration as does the United States (with all the political and social problems this gives rise to).

The current GLOBAL population-overshoot begins its scheduled, spontaneous, self-inflicted downturn (pretty well dead on time, according to the extraordinarily accurate ‘Limits To Growth’ projections) in the Northern hemisphere first, and you find that ‘alarming’ Donald? I find it a heartfelt relief. Scarcely matters where it starts, as it will be global eventually. The population bomb has been ticking steadily during all my long lifetime, and has wrought havoc on the Earth all that time. I regard the slowing down towards its tipping point of this ghastly ramp-up as some of the best news of recent time. TLTG reckons that much of the current overshoot will have been corrected, even despite hom-sap’s utter irresponsibility about it, by the end of this century. Rejoice at that news!

The jabs are poisonous. It is just unclear how poisonous they are. Same is with GMO food, contaminated water, etc.

Me thinks that the knowledge that something is poisonous is reason enough to stay away from it.

But of course if you produce something poisonous you have to do some cost benefit analysis. And if in such an analysis the profit can be made, while the poison is for someone else, the conclusion is simple.

It’s nothing personal. It’s business.

Other people’s business is to make mountains of molehills as in saying that something that might be poisoning is killing us all, unless we start paying attention and pay other people’s business.

In this way the poison industry and those who fight it have a swell time.

This is how I see large corporations and ‘grass roots’ NGOs.

Mexico Pres. Obrador had decreed glyphosate ban, US may bully him to change his mind…2/21/2021, Mexican Pres. Obrador keeps campaign promise to phase out use of glyphosate and imports modified by it: “Mexican president Andrés Manuel López Obrador quietly rocked the agribusiness world with his New Year’s Eve decree to phase out use of the herbicide glyphosate and the cultivation of genetically modified corn. His administration sent an even stronger aftershock two weeks later, clarifying that the government would also phase out GM corn imports in three years and the ban would include not just corn for human consumption but yellow corn destined primarily for livestock. Under NAFTA, [now USMCA] the United States has seen a 400% increase in corn exports to Mexico, the vast majority genetically modified yellow dent corn.”…http://www.ipsnews.net/2021/02/mexico-ban-glyphosate-gm-corn-presidential-decree-comes-despite-intense-pressure-industry-u-s-authorities/

And yet, corruption is massively unsustainable. If it were only glyphosate that’s killing us; but of course it isn’t. It’s everything.

There’s nothing you can see or hear or smell or taste that has not been so thoroughly seeped in toxicity that life cannot possibly continue indefinitely.

Science and industry have managed to turn a once thriving planet into a toxic cesspool. It isn’t glyphosate we need to ban – it’s science and industry. If we wish to live much longer, that is.

Its a question of degree — spraying a little Roundup on a persistent weed in your yard is just not the same as throwing around tons of the stuff in agricultural operations. Unfortunately, like everything else, the spreadsheet dictates that for optimal profit monoculture is the only way so all the collateral damage to biodiversity — plants, insects and wildlife — is not part of the equation. We’ve been through this before innumerable times. Industrial level livestock management benefits from widespread antibiotic use, for example. Never mind that intensive livestock farming is neither kind to animals nor safe, its an biological accident waiting to happen, and that widespread antibiotic use promotes antibiotic resistance. The spreadsheet tells us what to do and our only imperative is making those payment to the bank so we fumble and fudge, rationalize and generally blow clouds of smoke to delay the inevitable just long enough… Read more »

And so the people they mix. Vaxed, unvaxed,certain,unsure. Festivals, parties and get togethers. The disease still shows up in all persuasions. People are perplexed. How is this so? I am double jabbed. It is not real. What is going on? How did this happen? What did I do? Who was I with? Are they? Could they have passed their bugs to me? The quest for reason. The quest for a rational truth? Families,friends,associates,lovers.

Well, I don’t know…but, the official figures for how many people were out on the streets, in France, last week, was something like 161,825…or 6 (don’t quote me on that – I may have gotten the small numbers wrong)

I’m not sure how they even got it down to the last hundreds, let alone an individual..

The real numbers are closer to 5 million…cheek by jowl, maskless (shock! horror!) for the last six weeks….and we are all still here…nobody is ill.

There is no SARS-CoV-2 virus: (FDA July 12/21) During the early months of the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, clinical specimens were not readily available to developers of IVDs to detect SARS-CoV-2. Therefore, the FDA authorized IVDs based on available data from contrived samples generated from a range of SARS-CoV-2 material sources (for example, gene specific RNA, synthetic RNA, or whole genome viral RNA) for analytical and clinical performance evaluation. While validation using these contrived specimens provided a measure of confidence in test performance at the beginning of the pandemic, it is not feasible to precisely compare the performance of various tests that used contrived specimens because each test validated performance using samples derived from different gene specific, synthetic, or genomic nucleic acid sources. From February through the middle of May, the FDA issued a total of 59 EUAs for IVDs for the qualitative detection of nucleic acid from SARS-CoV-2… Read more »

Many vaccines, including the famous Salk vaccine for polio (a “disease” which was really caused by neurotoxins like DDT – and earlier by unsanitary conditions), were in fact in the end covering up illnesses caused by pesticides. TPT{shouldn’t]B have never given a damn about our well being, they care about profit. They make poisons to make profits and make vaccines to “cure” you of the illnesses the poisons create – except that vaccines are just more poisons that also make profits. They got us coming and going. The last thing they care about is public health.

Oh, yes.

Had. No more. We knew what the dousing of roadsides on the entire island (allegedly not, where house owners had put up signs that read: “No Spraying!” would do to the environment – Hello? It’s all Islands and everything doused on the roadside goes to the stormdrain, guess where? Massive amounts of glyphosate end up in the ocean, destroying fragile ecosystems like corals and their microcosmos. When snorkeling, one could notice years ago the dying of the sensitive coral around the Big Island. But since Hawai’i has never been anything but “Democrat Party Property”, nothing changed.

They did, sort of, ban glyphosate…but only the strongest stuff and only piece-meal. My neighbour, at the time, used to go to Spain to get it, after the ‘ban’. ‘The proper stuff’, he called it.

Then Bayer bought it from Monsanto…and the year before last, it was reintroduced on account of ‘problems’ with the sugar-beet crop in France.

Then, last year, they (the regime) removed the Mayor of the Commune’s legislative power to regulate how close to habitation that the, full-strength glyphosate, is allowed to be sprayed.

Britain to grow cancer-cutting wheat for making healthier bread

Sarah Raffan, a member of the research team, with the genome-edited wheat. It contains less asparagine, a naturally occurring amino acid that is converted into acrylamide, a suspected carcinogen, when wheat is used to make bread

British scientists will grow a new strain of wheat using a revolutionary form of genetic editing as part of an effort to make healthier toast.

The trials will be the first in Europe for a wheat that has been genetically edited using a tool known as Crispr.

It comes as the government consults on whether to use post-Brexit freedoms to break with European Union rules that have limited the use of the technology in agriculture.

That’s right, we’ll genetically modify wheat in order to change the amino acid profile so that it doesn’t produce a natural substance that might change into a carcinogenic one when you cook it, but we won’t ban the dozens of man made chemicals that definitely do cause cancer and definitely are in your food by design.

Seems straightforward enough to me. Better profit through chemistry.
