Are you eating genetically modified foods? If so, you’re being exposed to a common herbicide produced by Monsanto called Roundup.
For the very first time, Roundup was tested on human cells. And the outcome was shocking and disturbing – even to the researchers.
The tests were done on three different cell types in concentrations below agricultural recommendations – what would be considered low levels of Roundup residue in food or animal feed. The results, published in Chemical Research in Toxicology, showed that the herbicide caused cell death in all three types of cells.
The scientists say their research “… points to undesirable effects which are currently masked or hidden from scientific study.” Indeed.
If you haven’t yet made the switch to organic foods – free of chemical contaminants and genetic modification – or animal foods that are pasture-raised (not grain fed), this is one more reason to do so.

It seems that you do not know the difference between “genetically modified” and organically grown, so-called pesticide free, produce!
