A herbicide, 2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic Acid (2,4-D), which is used by homeowners and lawn care companies, has been linked to canine malignant lymphoma. This study, which was undertaken by the National Cancer Institute, determined, "The risk of canine lymphoma rose to a twofold excess with four or more yearly applications of 2,4-D. This herbicide has also been implicated as the source of nonHodgkin's disease in humans."2

Finally, let me offer in evidence the following: Atrazine is a powerful herbicide that, according to Michael Pollan in the New York Times, is applied to 70 percent of America's cornfields. At concentrations as low as 0.1 part per billion, the herbicide will chemically emasculate a male frog, causing its gonads to produce eggs. According to Pollan, who is a superb journalist and reporter known for his detail and accuracy, traces of atrazine routinely turn up in American waterways at concentrations much higher than 0.1 part per billion. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Soon after, farmers began growing Monsanto's Roundup Ready strain of soybean, designed to be resistant to the herbicide glyphosate. The farmers were seduced by Monsanto's promise of increased productivity and decreased herbicide use with Roundup Ready soy.
The economic dream crop, however, soon became a nightmare. Problems with herbicide resistant "superweeds" led GM soy growers to double the amount of herbicides used by conventional farmers. Bacteria died, leaving soil so inert that dead weeds would not rot. |

See book keywords and concepts |  One of the main aims of the genetic engineers is to make crops such as soybeans or corn resistant to particular types of herbicide. In other words, the crop can be sprayed, all weeds will die, the plant will be contaminated, and the yield will be increased. Guess who profits from the increased sales of the herbicides and the GM seeds?
The biotechnology industry asserts that GM technology will reduce the use of herbicides on crops, yet analyses of the U.S. agricultural industry show that the use of herbicides has actually increased significantly since GM planting started in 1996. |

See book keywords and concepts |  In the spring of 1964, production of the herbicide 2,4,5-T was on the upswing. Following its liberal application to the fields and forests of Vietnam, the herbicide came to be better known as Agent Orange, originally a military code name matching the color band around the fifty-five-gallon drums in which it was shipped for application in Vietnam.64 The letter reporting the New Jersey outbreak of chloracne was published in the 6 July 1964 issue of JAMA. A month and a day later, the U.S. Congress approved the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution, authorizing the Vietnam War's escalation. |

Today, these genetically modified soybean products, which comprise about 80 percent of the beans available, have been found in most baby formulas including Carnation, Similac, Enfamil, Isomil, and Neocare as well as Doritos, Fritos, vegetable oils, soybean oil, margarine, and much more. With soy now being an ingredient of thousands of common food products, the masses are systematically poisoned with harmful herbicides. |

See book keywords and concepts | | Although herbicide use decreased slightly in the first three years of GM crop growing, use increased subsequently. During 2002 and 2003 in the United States, an average of 29 percent more herbicide was applied per acre on GM herbicide-tolerant corn than on non-GM corn. Dr. Charles Benbrook of the Northwest Science and Environmental Policy Center in Sandpoint, Idaho, points out that GM "herbicide-tolerant crops have increased pesticide use an estimated seventy million pounds over the first eight years of cultivation. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Although adopting no-till practices can initially result in increased herbicide and pesticide use, the need declines as soil biota rebound. Growing experience in combining no-till methods with the use of cover crops, green manures, and biological pest management suggests that these so-called alternative methods offer practical complements to no-till methods. Farmers are adopting no-till methods because they can both save money and invest in their future, as increasing soil organic matter means more fertile fields—and eventually lower ourlays for fertilizer. |

Meanwhile, unbeknown to her, her two-year-old is coming down with a coxsackievirus she picked up at daycare, and Mom just shared the end of a Popsicle with her, so the virus is beginning to work on her mast cells as well. |

ž The soybeans used for analyses and animal feed tests were grown without application of the herbicide. Thus the test results were obtained by using a sample different from that which is being sold in the marketplace.
ž Monsanto tested unsprayed beans and so provided no data on endocrine-disrupting estrogen sprayed onto the soybeans with the herbicide Roundup.
ž The protein analysis did not come from the Roundup Ready soybean itself but from the resistant bacterium whose genes were inserted into the new plant. The two may or may not be equivalent. | | Problems with herbicide resistant "superweeds" led GM soy growers to double the amount of herbicides used by conventional farmers. Bacteria died, leaving soil so inert that dead weeds would not rot. Farmers and neighbors near GM fields have suffered health problems such as rashes and tearing eyes, while many livestock have died or given birth to deformed young.
In addition, 10,000 square miles of rainforest were leveled for soybean production and 150,000 small farmers driven off their land by big farmers eager to grow more soy. |

See book keywords and concepts | | Monsanto, which also produced the poisonous sweetener aspartame, is inserting genes from plants of unrelated species into the soybean plant to make it resistant to the potent herbicide Roundup (glyphosate). The unsuspecting farmers would only welcome such a miracle plant, unless of course they see the risk involved. The Roundup resistant soybean seed can now be heavily sprayed with Roundup to kill weeds, but without causing damage to the soybean. No more problems with weeds suffocating the soybean plants, but bigger problems for the consumer! |

See book keywords and concepts | | The reality is that farmers who grow GM crops actually use more herbicide, not less. For example, Monsanto created Roundup Ready (RR) soy, corn, and cotton specifically so that farmers would continue to buy Roundup, the company's best-selling chemical weed killer, which is sold with RR seeds. Instead of reducing pesticide use, one study of more than eight thousand university-based field trials indicated that farmers who plant RR soy use two to five times more herbicide than farmers who use traditional weed control methods. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Eighty-nine percent of soybeans have been genetically engineered, most of them with Monsanto's Roundup Ready modified gene, rendering them resistant to Monsanto's own herbicide Roundup.10 Increasing percentages of wheat, canola, and other crops are being grown with genetically engineered ingredients. Indeed, genetically engineered ingredients are everywhere in U.S. supermarkets—in processed corn syrup, in soft drinks, cereals, canned vegetables, candy. They are now an omnipresent, though hidden, presence in America's food. |

See book keywords and concepts | | Tiny amounts of herbicide may act as endocrine disruptors
Endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) can have significant hormonal effects at doses far below those previously thought to be significant. The disruptive effects are often found only at minute levels, which are measured in parts per trillion or in the low parts per billion. This is seen, for example, in the way estrogen works in women. When the brain encounters a mere three parts per trillion, it shuts down production of key hormones. | | The GM protein that makes Roundup Ready soy resistant to herbicide does not have a history of safe use in the human diet and may be an allergen. In fact, sections of its amino acid sequence are identical with known allergens7 (section 3.2).
2. A portion of the transgene from GM soybeans is transferred into human gut bacteria. The transferred genetic material included the promoter, which turns on the transgene. In addition, the gut bacteria survived doses of Roundup's active ingredient glyphosate. | | Twice the number of chickens died when fed Liberty Link corn
Chardon Liberty Link corn, engineered to withstand the herbicide glufosinate ammonium, was tested on chickens for 42 days.105 One hundred and forty chickens were divided into four pens of 35 chickens each and fed as much of the GM corn as they wanted. Chickens in four other pens were fed a commercial corn diet. Ten chickens (7.14%) from the GM group died, while only 5 died (3.57%) from the non-GM group. The UK industry average was 4%. The GM-fed group also gained less weight and had far greater body weight variability. |
