Its always about the money. Lars Fosdal.
Someone please read the original research before jumping to conclusions. There was a story similar to this a few years ago so I went and read the actual paper myself. It was unrealistic because they were super dosing the rats’ water daily. It did not accurately represent how the herbicide would be applied. Farmers don’t want to use any more chemicals than they have to because it’s expensive. They’re eating this food too.
Glenn Hoeppner In this case, it is the opposite: “The dose of glyphosate from the Roundup administered was thousands of times below what is permitted by regulators worldwide”
It took some digging but I found the research. I agree that in this case it seems reasonable. They dosed lab rats with water spiked to .1pbb which is the same level considered to be safe in the EU.
Here it is if anyone else wants to read it
ehjournal.biomedcentral.com – Transcriptome profile analysis reflects rat liver and kidney damage following chronic ultra-low dose Roundup exposure
Glenn Hoeppner that should have been the headline. As it’s all about the dose. If ultra-low dose causes these kinds of problems, we’re in trouble.
Shocking
Lars Fosdal all regulators are paid off
