Your favorite orange brand just tested positive for high amounts of glyphosate herbicide
- The facts:
Cheerios, Quaker Oats and other breakfast cereals are contaminated with glyphosate, among other things. It was also recently discovered that some of the most popular brands of orange juice are also replete with this herbicide.
- Reflect on:
Did not we learn from DDT? How, after so many publications that clearly show multiple causes of concern regarding human health and environmental impacts
(Published with the permission of Children's health defense team.). In August, the news broke that. Cheerios, Quaker Oats and other breakfast cereals. They were contaminated with glyphosate herbicide. Just this week, more news of glyphosate in. Snack bars. Parents across the country were concerned about the food and snacks for their family's breakfast. Now we learn that we should also observe the most popular breakfast drink, orange juice, too.
The sample from (Natural de Florida) showed results almost 3 times higher than the results of the previous year's tests to another organization, showing an increase, instead of a decrease in the use of herbicides with glyphosate.
More than a year later initial testsMoms Across America sent the most popular brands of orange juice in the United States to be analyzed again the chemical glyphosate cancer. The new results of the test, which range from 2.99 ppb to 17.16 ppb, are not promising. While the different brands, Tropicana, Minute Maid, Costco's Kirkland Signature and Stater Bros. had slightly lower levels of glyphosate herbicides than the first tests conducted a year ago, all still had detectable levels of glyphosate. In addition, Moms Across America added another sample, Florida's Natural, and the results were not only among the highest of all the brands analyzed to detect glyphosate residues, but the brand sample showed almost 3 times higher than the results of the previous year's tests provided to another organization, which shows an increase, rather than a decrease in the use of glyphosate herbicides.
Florida's natural glyphosate test in 2017 showed the following results: amount of glyphosate detected: 2.14 ppb; Amount of AMPA detected: 1.98 ppb, the effective glyphosate level was 5.11 ppb. In 2018, the results of the test showed an effective glyphosate level at 14.42.
Recently the applicant Alexandra Axon, represented by Richman Law Group, sued Florida Natural To deceive the public by claiming that their product is natural when it actually contains glyphosate. The demand is still pending.
The use of glyphosate in orange production and in Florida is controversial for many reasons. Moms across America The Founding Executive Director states: "Orange growers have known for more than 3 years that World Health Organization The branch of the International Agency for Research on Cancer classified glyphosate as a definitive animal carcinogen and a probable human carcinogen, and still continue to use this harmful herbicide in the cultivation of oranges. We do not want harmful chemicals in the beverages we give to our children and families every day. We have asked these brands to make changes and we have not received a favorable response. We are publishing these test results and we are asking publicly again. Please stop buying oranges from farmers who use glyphosate and be part of reducing The exposure of glyphosate to children. "
Glyphosate, citrus greening and poor crop health
Many orange growers will insist that they need herbicides with glyphosate to prevent the growth of weeds. They also complain about the greening of citrus, a situation that affects their livelihoods. According to Frank Dean, crop consultant with a degree in Biological and Physical Sciences from the University of Houston, who works with orange growers in Florida, commented for this article: "I can say that every visual symptom of citrus greening can be induced with a glyphosate application; Asymmetric chlorosis, short internodes, small leaves, abnormal flowers and flowering events When a grove reduces or eliminates the use of glyphosate and organic substances and minerals blocked by glyphosate are applied, the diseased trees begin to recover. , the soil has reduced the lethal dose of glyphosate with organic amendments and the indicator of the disease can not be found with the CT scans for 16S rDNA ".
In other words, The use of glyphosate contributes to the greening of citrus fruits. and reduction of soil quality.Dr. Don Huber, 50-year-old vegetable pathologist. has pointed out that lower soil quality also means less water retention, resulting in greater water use, less nutrients in the product and lower crop quality. Discontinuing the use of herbicides with glyphosate in orange groves and all agriculture in Florida would not only reduce exposure to children, but would improve the health, productivity and benefits of the crop.
An important denier of this evaluation would be the University of Florida, which is financed by monsanto, and who publishes most of the information about citrus greening. They claim that it is an insect and, therefore, they ask for more pesticides, probably produced by Monsanto.
Glyphosate and non-Hodgkin lymphoma
The use of herbicides with glyphosate is also a hot topic due to the recent Johnson v Monsanto Trial verdict, in which a California jury awarded millions to a school gardener with Non-Hodgkin lymphoma in relation to the use of Roundup® and Ranger Pro - both herbicides with glyphosate. Monsanto was found responsible for its role in the production and sale of the carcinogenic substance when the judge confirmed the jury's decision guilty of all charges.
A new French study showed a 86% lower incidence of non-Hodgkin lymphoma When the participants ate organic food, which does not allow the use of glyphosate.
Glyphosate and losses of marine life
In addition, ecologists have been for a long time linkage of glyphosate to toxic green algae, that has plagued Florida for months. Scientists from many studies are discovering that the so-called "blue-green algae" are not really algae but a type of primitive bacteria called "Cyanobacteria". They have a special ability that is rare among all species to be able to completely metabolize glyphosate and use your phosphorus atom as a source of phosphorus. They then gain a competitive advantage against other species in the presence of chronic exposure to glyphosate. Phosphorus levels are a serious problem, as documented in the cyanobacterial blooms of Lake Erie in 2017: "It turns out that many cyanobacteria present in Lake Erie have the genes that allow the uptake of phosphonates, and these cyanobacteria can grow using glyphosate and other phosphonates as the sole source of phosphorus. " stated George Bullerjahn of Bowling Green State University in Ohio.
As shown in this Mercola article, Scientists and environmental leaders have long been linking chemicals (the most commonly used chemical is the glyphosate herbicide) used in runoff from factories in Florida to the red tide, which has devastated millions of marine life. Glyphosate residues are found at very high levels in animal feed and, presumably, in animal feces, creating a pollution that runs off into the waterways. These same chemicals are used in sugar and orange trees. Blue-green algae (cyanobacteria) are able to convert fRee nitrogen of the air in nitrates.. Therefore, they cause an excess of nitrates in the water, in addition to the nitrates that come from the excessive run-off of nitrate-based fertilizers. Excess nitrates provide essential nutrients for red algae (Karenia brevis), which then grow to large quantities in the high seas, which can cause red tide.
In other words, glyphosate FEEDS cyanobacteria ... or ... another perspective is that the way mother nature cleans glyphosate is with the blooms of cyanobacteria. These blooms can encourage the growth of the red tide ... that has devastated marine life, tourism, local restaurants and businesses along thousands of miles of the Florida coast.
Excessive use of glyphosate in Florida
The amount of glyphosate used in Florida in orange groves, sugarcane fields, and in the streets of the city is huge. More than 3.5 million pounds per square mile of glyphosate was sprayed in Florida according to the Environmental Working Group (EWG) between 2000-2012.
In addition, the glyphosate herbicide AquaMaster was allowed to spray directly into the waterways, as Lake Okeechobee and the Everglades, a nature reserve. Local environmentalists are outraged by the lack of action on the part of their governor and local authorities to discontinue the use of glyphosate herbicides and protect marine life.
Glyphosate herbicides are sprayed to prevent weed growth in the Florida Everglades. Glyphosate feeds the growth of cyanobacteria, or "green algae," and then sprays copper to fight green algae. Copper is a known spermicide.
Results of the glyphosate test in Florida water
Result of the Okeechobee Lake water test:
Moms Across America commissioned the water test on Lake Okeechobee and on the coast of Cape Coral. The results of Lake O, where cyanobacteria were present, showed levels between half the amount Y 2 times Higher than the one allowed in European drinking water. Because cyanobacteria digest glyphosate, it is expected that, when cyanobacteria are present, water sometimes analyzes lower levels of glyphosate.
Simian Coral, FL water test result:
The results of the test on the coast of Cape Coral, at the mouth of the Caloosahatchee River, where there were cyanobacteria present * showed glyphosate levels 5 -12 Times exceeding those allowed in European drinking water.
Runoff from orange crop spraying and glyphosate weed management in the Everglades contributes to the presence of glyphosate in Florida's waterways. A 2013 study shows that glyphosate can remain viable in salt water for 315 days. Another 2016 study by Roy et al. has shown that glyphosate induces Cardiac toxicity in fish. The damage of glyphosate to marine life, pets and humans living in Florida is a scientific concern. Residents, notable environmental advocates. as Erin Brockovich They are increasingly justified in asking for action.
Glyphosate and cancer
WFTX Fox 4 News reported in 2016 with respect to South Florida, "The result of a study explains that "compared to the state, there is a 36% statistically significant risk of childhood cancer."
Although there is no conclusive evidence that this increased risk is due specifically to glyphosate, author Warren Wright continues: "These findings suggest that environmental risk factors in our area. " Taking into account that glyphosate is widely used in this specific environment and has been considered as a definitive animal carcinogen and a probable human carcinogen on the part ofWorld Health Organization, Residents are justifiably outraged that the spraying of glyphosate continues on crops or waterways for any reason. Some local residents have taken action. Stuart Y Miami Florida has banned the use of glyphosate. Residents in Tampa is suing Monsanto. Floridians want the entire state to be protected and are calling Governor Scott will place a moratorium on glyphosate.
The conservation group Friends of the Everglades is frustrated that the Florida Department of Health (FDOH) has not yet taken any action. "What I can say is that scientists who fear for their careers and have difficulties finding funds, would say that this is an area that needs much more serious research and monitoring by the state of Florida," says President Alan Farago. . .
Glyphosate and the health impacts, especially in children
The defenders of chemical agriculture and even some food movement individuals They have stated that low levels of glyphosate are safe. This information is not only confusing but blatantly incorrect. Peer-reviewed scientific studies have shown that ultra low levels of herbicides with glyphosate cause, yes why, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. According to the Liver Foundation, 1 in 10 Americans now have liver disease. Some are children from 8 years old. Further studies show that low levels of glyphosate herbicides can be endocrine disruptors, changing sex hormones. Additionally, Andre Leu, president of IFOAM and author of The Myth of Safe Pesticides declared in the Monsanto Court "Children do not have the enzymes in their livers to break down toxins, especially babies and unborn children, there are NO safe levels." Clearly, ignore science and encourage people to continue to consume glyphosate , especially children who are especially vulnerable to pesticides, a fact recognized by the American Academy of Pediatrics, it is dangerous.
Millions of children often start their day with a glass of orange juice and eat oatmeal or Cheerios with high glyphosate residues. By doing so, they can increase the risk of liver disease, cancer and many other health problems related to glyphosate. Too many, however, want to feel comfortable eating what they want to eat. Too many farmers want to continue spraying the chemicals they have been told are safe. And too many food manufacturers want to continue to benefit from cheap food grown with chemicals. The question is, when will there be too many sick children? And when will the damage of chemical agriculture be considered too much?
