Discard Toxic Garden Poisons - Round Up




.

ROUND-UP and WEEDS B' GONE kills not only plants and pets, makes people sick and poisons our water… Scientific tests during the last 20 years show the evidence of cancer risk. However, Monsanto 'bullied scientists' and hid weedkiller cancer risk, lawyers tells the court.

.
Why Monsanto is Hiding Round-Up Weedkiller Cancer Risk?
Monsanto has long worked to “bully scientists” and suppress evidence of the cancer risks of its popular weedkiller, a lawyer argued on Monday in a landmark lawsuit against the global chemical corporation.

Global Glyphosate Study Pilot Phase Shows Adverse Health Effects at ‘Safe’ Doses
The results reveal that glyphosate-based herbicides (GBHs) were able to alter certain important biological parameters, mainly relating to sexual development, genotoxicity and the alteration of the intestinal microbiome -  with direct impact on our health!
The pilot study involved the participation of multiple Institutions and Universities in Europe and the U.S.

“Monsanto has specifically gone out of its way to bully ... and to fight independent researchers,” said the attorney Brent Wisner, who presented internal Monsanto emails that he said showed how the agrochemical company rejected critical research and expert warnings over the years while pursuing and helping to write favorable analyses of their products. “They fought science.”

Attorny Wisner, who spoke inside a crowded San Francisco courtroom, is representing DeWayne Johnson, known also as Lee, a California man whose cancer has spread through his body. The father of three and former school groundskeeper, who doctors say may have just months to live, is the first person to take Monsanto to trial over allegations that the chemical sold under the Roundup brand is linked to cancer. Thousands have made similar legal claims across the US.

Want to kill your cat or dog or make yourself, and your whole family sick?  Look no further than your “Weed Man” or any other “landscaping” contractor or to yourself...  I am talking here not even about the glyphosate-drenched soil and water that we leave for our children and grandchildren…

Please, Wake Up Folks!  
Just to remove a couple of Dandelions (which are edible, for example, to make a healthy salad or to roast the roots) some people pull out their “Weeds b’ Gone” or RoundUp. Conveniance kills!
