Aspartame--Why we need to boycott Monsanto:

Aspartame is marketed under the trade names NutraSweet, (a product of G.D. Searle and Company, owned by Monsanto)

Since 1982 complaints of 92 different symptoms have been submitted to the FDA for adverse reactions to Aspartame.

This accounts for over 75 percent of adverse reactions to all food additives reported.

Why aspartame is dangerous:

75 percent of reported adverse reaction to food additives is attributed to aspartame. Of these reactions, many are serious and include seizures and death. A number of the 90 documented symptoms as reportedly caused by aspartame are headaches/migraines, dizziness, seizures, nausea, numbness, rashes, depression, irritability, insomnia, hearing loss, vision problems, loss of taste vertigo and memory loss.

Those who study the adverse effects of aspartame report that the following medical conditions are triggered or worsened by aspartame: brain tumors, multiple sclerosis, chronic fatigue syndrome, mental retardation, Parkinson's disease, epilepsy, lymphoma, birth defects, diabetes and fibromyalgia.

Aspartame: An artificial sweetener found in a number of products, aspartame - discovered by accident in 1965 by a chemist testing an anti-ulcer drug - accounts for as many as 75 percent of adverse reactions to food additives reported to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), according to some reports. Some seizures and even some deaths have been blamed on aspartame.

The herbicide below is Roundup--made, of course, by Monsanto.

Herbicide Used in Argentina Could Cause Birth Defects
The herbicide used on genetically modified soy – Argentina’s main crop – causes brain, intestinal and heart defects in fetuses, according to the results of a scientific investigation.


BUENOS AIRES – The herbicide used on genetically modified soy – Argentina’s main crop – could cause brain, intestinal and heart defects in fetuses, according to the results of a scientific investigation released Monday.

Although the study “used amphibian embryos,” the results “are completely comparable to what would happen in the development of a human embryo,” embryology professor Andres Carrasco, one of the study’s authors, told Efe.

“The noteworthy thing is that there are no studies of embryos on the world level and none where glyphosate is injected into embryos,” said the researcher with the National Council for Scientific and Technical Research and director of the Molecular Embryology Laboratory.

The doses of herbicide used in the study “were much lower than the levels used in the fumigations,” and so the situation “is much more serious” that the study suggests because “glyphosate does not degrade,” Carrasco warned.

More reason to boycott Monsanto:

http://www.organicconsumers.org/articles/article_25635.cfm

With overwhelming public support for the Connecticut GMO labeling law, Reeves and others were sure it would pass. But at the last minute, under threat of a lawsuit by Monsanto, the bill was eviscerated behind closed doors, and the labeling provision removed before it was voted on by the House.

"I was so angry that our legislators didn't do their job,  that they didn't stand up to the corporations - especially because the majority of voters wanted this law," Reeves said.

A recent study showed that every human tested had the world’s best-selling pesticide, Roundup, detectable in their urine at concentrations between five and twenty times the level considered safe for drinking water

Here are more examples why we should boycott Monsanto--

April 17th 2012 ~ Monsanto's Roundup is creating new weed resistance to glyphosate

Glyphosate use in agriculture has tripled since 1997 because farmers have wanted to use so-called "Round-up ready" crops. The glyphosate in Roundup was supposed to keep these crops weed free. However, USA Today quotes a Mississippi farmer, John McKee, who grows corn, cotton and soybeans on his 3,300-acre farm:.
"I've gone from budgeting $45 an acre just two years ago to spending more than $100 an acre now to control weeds."

According to the weed management technical lead at Monsanto, Rick Cole, the answer is for farmers to use "multiple modes of action," i.e. using more chemicals and start tilling the soil.
But Bill Freese, science policy analyst at the Center for Food Safety in Washington, D.C., says that herbicide-resistant crops are "taking us in the wrong direction. It's just not sustainable...It increases the chances they will get into our food and water."

Weed resistance to herbicides is now happening at a much quicker rate.

In a fully referenced and concerned paper Roundup and birth defects Is the public being kept in the dark?  published by Earth Open Source in 2011, we read "Scientific research published in 2010 showed that Roundup and the chemical on which it is based, glyphosate, cause birth defects in frog and chicken embryos at dilutions much lower than those used in agricultural and garden spraying."

Among its recommendations are that EU regulators "look critically at the applications for GM Roundup Ready crops that are in the EU approvals pipeline instead of repeating outdated and misleading assurances about the safety of glyphosate and Roundup."

February 20th 2012 ~ Human health and fertility - and Monsanto's Roundup

A German university study has found significant concentrations of glyphosate in the urine samples of city dwellers. Glyphosate, it will be remembered, is the carcinogenic chemical found in herbicides such as Monsanto's Roundup. It is systemic poison preventing the formation of essential amino acids, weakening and killing plants ("weeds" are the ones intended) . We read today on GMWatch

"The address of the university labs, which did the research, the data and the evaluation of the research method is known to the editors. Because of significant pressure by agrochemical representatives and the fear that the work of the lab could be influenced, the complete analytical data will only be published in the course of this year."
The analysis of the urine samples apparently found that all had concentrations of glyphosate at 5 to 20-fold the limit for drinking water. Glyphosate-based weedkillers often also get sprayed onto railway lines, urban pavements and roadsides. Last year also saw the publication of two US Geological Survey studies (here and here) which consistently found glyphosate in streams, rain and even air in agricultural areas of the US.

Researchers tested Roundup on mature male rats at a concentration range between 1 and 10,000 parts per million (ppm), and found that within 1 to 48 hours of exposure, testicular cells of the mature rats were either damaged or killed.

Monsanto's RoundUp®

Monsanto's RoundUp® Take the Pledge

Do you want children to roll around in pesticides while enjoying the outdoors this summer? Each year, American homeowners use approximately 70 million pounds of pesticides to maintain their lawns and gardens. Yet as the use of these chemicals continues to increase, researchers keep uncovering links between pesticide exposure and serious human health problems, including several types of cancer, neurological and reproductive disorders, and birth defects.

When children play in the grass and put their hands in their mouths afterwards, they run the risk of ingesting harmful pesticides. They are especially vulnerable to these hazardous toxins since their nervous, respiratory, reproductive, and immune systems are not yet fully developed.

Among the products to watch out for is Scotts new gene-altered lawn grass. This leading home and garden product is genetically engineered to withstand Monsanto's herbicide RoundUp - intended to kill garden weeds. The growing popularity of Scotts grass means more pesticide use in neighborhoods, parks, schoolyards and golf courses - ultimately increasing your exposure to harmful toxins.

What’s more is that the FDA does not require companies to place warnings on their products about potential long-term or chronic health effects from the active ingredients they contain. Therefore it’s up to us to take a stand against these harmful products. The most effective way to combat pesticides is to punish Scotts and Monsanto in the marketplace. Take the pledge to refuse to purchase their products - we have major power with our wallets!
