They keep directing you towards the 'scientific studies', and they never explain that they are the ones whom funded those studies.
Horseshit.
@@DukeGMOLOL Is that the full extent of your vocabulary? You used it in another, earlier response. I guess you don't know how to read, or you are an industry shill.

Industry shill? Nope, I mock you entirely for free.
@@patriotsongs these are paid shills...the same scum that are found on all 911 investigation videos. They'll never debate you or answer your questions...just copy and paste the same comments over and over again.
@@ismokezekush --No, I am a mythbuster.
No way! A multinational company covering up the harmful effects of its products. This is unprecedented.
What is unprecedented is that before Monsanto was in the business of futzing with the world's farming and food supply, it was the only company in existence that manufactured nuclear weapons detonators for the US military, while using that fact to extort billions of dollars out of US government contracts.
Must be one of them conspiracy theories.
😂😂😂
Only they have done the research and they have found that a lot of the illnesses we have are caused by the use of Glyphosate, and how it causes destruction of the interconnecting layers in various organs. Those studies have been out for quite a few years by most papers, and yet, they real kicker is looking at the rise of all sorts of diseases back in the early to mid 90s that were a result of the decade use of round up. And of course when it is found in 75% of air and water samples, it does make you wonder where it is all going right? Into our lungs before we even eat. Also, lets not forget that this substance is already an antibiotic as is, imagine that this could be a reason behind why bacteria, fungus, and many other things that can also help us, are also being destroyed in the process. Also, one should look up the use of round up and then dustbowls not too long after that 5-10 years or so.
Hahahahahaha
It's so disgusting to watch people lie with a straight face if you wave a dollar bill at them.
Lie about having cancer?
If you pay attention, notice how many of the representatives of Bayer/Monsanto, as well as the Australian regulators don't answer the questions they were asked. Yet, everyone who doesn't have a potential conflict-of-interest are fully transparent in their answers as well as their methodology. That's really all you need. Transparent vs obscurity, when it's a matter of public safety, speaks beyond volumes.
& then there's Barnaby Joyce - the water seller & former minister for the veterinary & chemical federal departments who insisted on allowing diseased prawns to enter Australian markets & caused white spot disease of crustaceans - and many other crimes. All of a sudden he doesn't have any $$ problems.
For years the tobacco industry told us that smoking didn’t cause cancer and now they have health warnings on every packet of cigarettes. The problem Bayer Monsanto has is the lie they have been telling has become so big that they can’t stop telling it.
And now Mr. Monsanto is back in charge of the FDA, and these same drug companies are trusted with developing MRNA vaccines that genetically engineer human beings, as we get sicker and sicker.
The sad thing is we sell chemicals that are illegal here but we make them here. Then we send them to other countries to be used on tobacco. The people cannot even grow food around their house much like mine. Their birth defects is unbelievable. Then people smoke the chemicals. Should a loaf of bread have a cancer warning like a pack of cigarettes? With the mixture of chemicals they use 50 feet from my house on the Wheatfield I would say oh yes
Was it Hitler who said:"Tell a lie long enough and convincingly enough and people will believe it is true."?

The thing about it is. Is that the fda knew how bad smoking was for your health back then. But didn't wanna disclose the information to the public. They just wanted to push their product out, also regarding the monsanto company. These are the same ppl who made the agent orange chemical for the Vietnam war....this is company is not to be trusted at all.
I have used Roundup for many years, as did my father when I was young. Nobody in our family had any health problems that could be attributed to glyphosate, but I have recently begun to reconsider my view of it's safety. The biggest question that comes to my mind after watching this, "If glyphosate is as safe as Monsanto and Bayer claim, why would they fight so vigorously against independent or government testing that could potentially verify their claims?".
David, they do not fight against testing, they fight against misinformation.
Glyphosate is safe.
The truth is David that everyone in your family including you will eventually have health problems. Its called life, nothing to do with roundup. People just want to blame an easy target and the thieving lawyers allow them to get away with it.
Shut up both you muppets!😝
i hope your luck holds up.
@@henrykater9728 that's not life. Cancer, Heart Diseases, all unnatural ways to go out
I'm in no way an environmentalist, but after doing my own research we decided to stop using chemicals on our farm and return to old fashioned cultivating instead of using weed killers.
So you decided to destroy the soil by tilling instead of preserving it with glyphosate allowing for no till/low till farming.
@@Brap-pl2me You found the mythbuster.
Um, I'm a hobby environmentalist that lives in farm country. Have you considered looking into that whole "regenerative ag" thing? With the cover cropping and no till? I mean, if you're getting more than 12 inch deep roots then it probably doesn't matter to you. But if you've only got a good inch or so, it might be worth checking out for water percolation at least.
@@DukeGMOLOL No Till NO Chemicals, its perfectly easy, just read Kiss the Ground and get with nature...it is NOT your enemy
@@tonybroomfield7908 Kiss the Ground is a film, a biased film.
Gotta kill the cover crop Tony, organic can only kill it by tilling.
Glyphosate kills the cover without tilling and can then plant right into it.

How can that guy look himself in the mirror - saying the jury didn’t understand the research / disgusting - no wonder Bayer bought Monsanto to try and rebrand the company
LIfe safer for a research paper :D
Holy crap. The commercial before this video was a Roundup advertisement! Talk about a slap in the face. I’ve never seen a Roundup ad on RUclips before this moment. Double slap
PRAISE THE LORD !
I just had the exact same thing happen to me. And like you I've never seen a Roundup ad on RUclips...
Same. YT is tone deaf af.
@@The1MkII The way the advertisement system works is assigning key words associated with the video as the target demographic. If a company or product is mentioned and the demographic is towards that product than an advertisement is played. If you watch a video about how MLM's are pyramid schemes you will get an MLM ad because MLM's are mentioned repeatedly. A video about how Toyota covered up a known defective plug inside their cars that were responsible for over 10 deaths, "Come down to Lawless Toyota and drive away in a new Camery." A video on Nestle operation slave plantations, well you get the picture.
AD BLOCKER !!
"We work with the government..." This exactly the reason we have to doubt Monsanto's "scientific studies."
There are many studies showing glyphosate is safe.
@@DukeGMOLOL the ghost written papers?
@@trishhoney2172 No such thing. Health Canada put the 'Monsanto Papers' nonsense to rest in two separate investigations of the accusations of interference in studies.
Try again.
@@DukeGMOLOL the dark side will betray you
@@BlueBerry-vl4fj Not a single pesticide regulator or agency in the world rates glyphosate a carcinogen or harmful in any way at the extremely tiny amounts we are exposed to.
Organic farmers spray pesticides too such as synthetic copper sulfate.
As a metal worker who supplies agriculture, I am familiar with msds (material safety data sheets). In my shop there is a binder full of informative toxicology of the various products used. Abrasive disks, solvents, coolants, lubricants, different metals. Many are listed as know to be cancerous, neurotoxin, or irritants and provide advise on the proper use of their products to minimize risks. And all these materials don't kill plants. The last time I looked at the msds sheet for glysophate they claim the risk of cancer is unknown due to lack of testing. Roundup literally kills life and they forgot to test how it interacts on the human body. What were the 800 studies they refer to?
The MSDS sheet says nothing about a "lack of testing".
Not a single pesticide regulator or agency in the world rates glyphosate a carcinogen.
Get that binder but stay safe.
@@DukeGMOLOL how much do they pay you?
@@ann-mariepaliukenas19 I mock you and this nonsense entirely for free.
Yes, GLYPHOSATE Kills or Damages Bacteria, & what is in our Gut....Bacteria, enough said.
Look what Agent Orange is still doing to the Vietnamese children. They never paid out to them.

STAY WELL FRIEND .
But people like Duke Steel will call you horse shit for that.
@@silverhawkscape2677 Never heard of Duke Steel.
It's not just Vietnamese children, it's also children of Green Berets from Nam, who wore it for 2 weeks. I have Chiari 1 Malformation, sick since birth. Finally found out when I got into a car accident 40 years of being ill.
that substance could easily have been roundup - just renamed. Know of a Viet. forward scout who copped his share of spray - died of cancer
i have heard that gluten (and dairy) intolerances are due to sensitivity to glyphosate used in the growing, rather than to the wheat/grain itself. this would explain why lots of us are becoming sensitive to things we have eaten all our lives with no previous problems.
Yeah I heard the same thing, it's not during growing though but rather just before harvest. Spraying herbicide on the crops just before the natural harvest causes the plants to go to seed early and produces slightly higher yields. I read a paper about it a while back. The practice is called 'crop desiccation'
Sarah Ravenscroft yes. My personal theory as well
Christopher Rowley true but I believe this is only done part of the time. When the season is gonna be short, to speed up
You need to understand how Roundup works on the weeds and plant life. First all plants have what is called the shikemate pathway, Roundup attacks this pathway, thereby killing the weeds. Humans do not have this pathway so Monsantan makes the true claim that humans are not effected by Roundup. But what Monsatan hides from everyone is the fact Roundup has multiple registrations ,also registered as a antibiotic. Why? Because Roundup is very effective in destroying the good bacteria all animal life depend on for conversion of crucial amino acids. Humans have ten times the bacteria than cells, we can not survive without the good gut bacteria, our first immune defense. How does Roundup kill bacteria, the bacteria has the same pathway weeds have, so when you eat food laced with roundup like breads and cereal much of your gut bacteria is being destroyed or severely sickened. Fact Cherrio's have 1400 PPM and Oreo cookies have 600 PPM Roundup.
Then there is a nerve agent pesticide used on seed dressings of all GMO seeds, the EPA in the 1970's warned that this pesticide would kill all the bees and fish in the rivers if ever released in America. The Criminal George H Bush worked for Monsatan and fired several of the EPA board members in support of the ban. Ban was lifted in the 1990.
Also the genetic makeup of GMO's is foreign to our bodies, GMO's can trigger an immune response because of the process used for placing genetic material in the desired cells. Must use a virus to invade the cells.
I agree, thats why I'm switching to grass fed milk for our cream pies. I'll be purchasing over 5,000 LBS a week from local farmers. I think glyphosate gets into the milk when farmers feed their cattle
GMO/glyphosate grain...
Anyone remember when the Tobacco industry had "all of these studies and investigations that prove smoking is safe"? Yeah, about that....
+Matiu
I literally used a plural in my post, your conspiracy theory is nothing but nonsense you made up based in your bias and scientific illiteracy, in science you must provide evidence. And there is no evidence to back IARC.
Go read the IARC monograph, and check what the authors of the cited reports have to say about the use of their research, or read the abstracts of the cites research.
Nothing provides evidence that Glyphosphate is carcinogenic, IARC has a terrible definition for "probable carcinogen" which is why this definition includes hot water and red meat. Stop stoking your confirmation bias by cherry picking the only thing in existence which makes this claim and go read the EPA report on glyphosphate.
Monsanto doesn't have a bad history with telling the truth this is another myth, in addition there is nothing stopping you from buying their chemical and doing your own research on its effects so your argument is moot.
and people still smoke and tobacco is still legal.
Tobacco is less destructive than both alcohol and marijuana, yet it's the one treated like the ultimate villain, while the latter vices remain hip, cool, and beneficial.
Cigarettes are safe if you don't light them. Just suck on them and pretend they're lit.
800 studies? My thoughts exactly, probably just tobacco science.
It never stopped there, more and more scams kept coming, tobacco isn't the first or last.
Science is a vulnerable, weak system, and even the people regulating are vulnerable to greed and power.
Some people are severely naive...it makes sense for Bayer to say what they say in response.
Protect the product at all costs, protect that investment, protect the bottom line!
Man I told my Dad so many years ago how BAD this is. Poor Earth. I hurt for it.
Monsanto can demonstrate the safeness by having their CEO's bathe in it.

So now that an American company sold it's poison to a German company the gates to sue are open while your own politicians prevented that to happen for nearly 50 years. Hypocrisy at its finest! It's no better than Bayer during WWll. They just did it for money instead of ideology.
I'd really like to know when will big corporations be accountable for their actions?
Big tobacco was made to pay because their product causes harm when used as directed. Glyphosate causes harm when used as directed. Should the manufacturers be made to pay as well? Should Big Agra be held liable?
When the government stops covering for them.

My mother was diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma.. and we blamed it on the Roundup that was used by the lawn care company that came once a month and put Roundup down on the lawn, eventually our dog a little Corgi close to the ground developed all kinds of health issues. I totally blame my mother's disease that developed from the Roundup that was used around the house once a month. And to this I hold.
The lawn care company DID NOT put roundup on the lawn once a month or ever. Roundup would have killed the lawn.
Roundup did not cause your mother's cancer nor did it kill Corgi.

@@DukeGMOLOLIt causes cancer, cancer kills.
I'm Chilean, and I worked for three years in an Australian farm. I demanded disposable overalls and a respirator for myself to spray the crops, everyone would give me funny looks because they thought it wasn't necessary to be so protected. All the other guys used to spray stuff wearing shorts and t-shirts even though they had the chance of doing it protected.
The same happens with the sun, they'd never wear long sleeves, hats, and sunscreen, but after a few years they wonder why they have melanoma.
An orchardist-farmer I know doesn't wear too much, he applies the herbicide with a paint roller, not a sprayer.
Did you get your protective equipment? Better yet, go to work at an organic sustainable farm!
You are much smarter than those others. Sadly, they just don't get it yet.

Criminals in govt passing laws to protect Monsanto from prosecution.
I doubt they did it for free!
That's like saying " we work with those we can pay off."
"Then we'd have to change to pesticides that are harmful to the environment" I would argue that all pesticides are harmful to the environment, maybe we just haven't seen the damages yet or they keep it hush hush...
It might be harmful, but its LESS harmful to the environment than all the extra land clearance that would have to be done to have the same output without the use of pesticides.
Exactly. What kills life will always be harmful to life. How are you supposed to work around that?
And deploying so much of it into nature must have a long term effect.
But people will always chose the easy solution.
I once was at a monsanto research lab. For them, the search for a herbicide was totally normal, no alternative available. They didn't even consider that using herbicides in large scale could be a bad idea.
Actually, I'm pretty sure the whole reason we use pesticide is because they harmful to the environment. I mean, they're not spraying chemicals on things because it doesn't kill
True, because what harms one living thing can harm others. Poison is poison. There's no way they can properly test in their sterile lab situations all of the possible combination of factors that can cause living things to degrade or which will be more susceptible to poisons at any time in their life more than others. Poisons can slowly kill, and you can not find it out soon enough.
In my first 6 months practicing as a junior doctor 6 people died from Roundup poisoning. Including a 72 year old farmer who inhaled some while spraying, and an 18 yr old who drank some while drunk.
What city were you in when this happened?
This is such old news, but good to see it in the mainstream, but surprising they didnt uncover how many of the EPA board members were former Monsanto employee's.
How can you say it is old news when they are still advertising and saying there is nothing wrong with their products? When people still don't know their products are not safe?
Glyphosate is significantly less toxic then the other available herbicides. If you get rid of this then people go back to using agent Orange.
True that!!!! They probably didn’t want to overwhelm the new people who are just hearing this for the first time with allllllllll that Monsanto Bayer has done. Everyone sticks their dirty buttery fingers in each other’s back pockets.
@Megan O the premise is they want to ban glysophate. Therefore they need alternatives. If glysophate is banned the second most popular herbicide is atrazine. Atrazine and other available herbicides are far more dangerous that's why glysophateis so popular, it's effective and safe to use. So it's not a false dichotomy because those are the only alternatives. Unless you know of safe alternatives?
Just LEAKED a tons of unordered nasty Chemicals that they didn't bother to even check.. at EPA

So sad for the people who are really damaged by poisons. Especially when no one acknowledges them. They fight to live. Most never get their life back. The money may not even extend their life.....
I love farming. Seven generations & then the farm became a golfcourse. Mom died of cancer at 45, Dad died of chemical liver damage at 50. I worked on the golfcourse w/ my dad, I got sick all the time. When I went to work somewhere else, I got better & continued working. In 1989, my life became hell on earth from the use of Dursban, (pesticde is illegal now) My son also got sick. At the same time my cat almost died, the vet said it was from the poison. But a doctor did not find out what was wrong with my son & I until years later. We improved after 24 years, then I got hit by an herbicide cloud in 2013, (Hi-Dep 2-4,D- sprayed by professionals). It contaminated my garden, my laundry, & water storage tanks. Overnight I developed breathing problems, peripheral neuropathy, siezure, memory loss, liver enzymes elevated, etc. I fell down the steps, I was so weak I couldn't fix my hair. I have once again made improvements with God's help & an organic whole foods diet. But I'd hate to see what I went through happen to anyone else. That's why I always tell my story. Don't let it happen to you or a family member. Protect those you love.
We need farmers and food. But we need to do it without poisons. It's not worth it to harm even one person, or one child...
Can't feed the world without farm chemicals. Regards.
@@DukeGMOLOL So it's just too bad for people who get sick, or the record number of farmer workers & their children getting cancer and leukemia? And what about children, the elderly, and others whose brain or immune systems are impaired or damaged by these poisons & no one really figures it out? Isn't it better to feed the world but not poison them at the same time? Isn't this a worthy goal to strive for?....

Duke Steele did you just conveniently bypass the part in this video where it brings up the case of Derek Johnson vs. Monsanto.. (6:55) This man was awarded a huge ass lump sum due to cancer concerns related to Roundup. Just recently, Monsanto lost their 4th case relative to that one (with 1000’s more still going through the courts). A US federal judge, clear as day, declared that Roundup was indeed a substantial factor in causing Mr. Johnson’s Non-Hogkins Lymphoma and Monsanto failed to make aware of the risks. & this same verdict was decided in 4 separate federal cases so far. A jury has decided that, 4 times. 4 times lol. With many more sure to come. Obviously whatever “important mega study” you are referencing didn’t hold a candle to the valid evidence that was presented in court because if it was that mega, it should of been able to set things straight. But, that’s that. My best regards.

He did not get cancer from roundup.
Watch till the end. Monsanto made farmers economically dependant on using the stuff, even if its poison. Same reasons as Percocet and oxycontin are still available, people NEED it dangerous or not.
anyone involved in falsifying evidence or manipulating officials in this case if this turns out to be a carcinogenic are guilty of mass murder! they need to be stripped of their assets for compensation and jailed for life!
I agree, Greenpeace activists should be jailed.
Ghostrider guitars war n agricultural crimes go hand n foot
Bayer worked for Hitler at Auschwitz experimenting on people. These traitors need to be hung in the streets!
Here is the most important question why use poisons ??!? I have farmed, never used a thing except, chicken poop, lime, ebsom salt, never had a problem. Sounds like Corporate farming which never works, Stop using Ammonium Hydroxide, for fertilizer. In WW2 it was used to harden the ground so planes can land on muddy ground. Why do you think so many people have their grand dads tractor and plow, but they now have to have engine blocks chained to the plow to help break the ground....?? You have turn your soil to brass. Never use poisons on things people will eat or wear.
Amen.. I'm an X chemical farmer. Fungus and bacteria are important to mineralization. Life in the soil is a good thing!
I agree, animal manure, organic matter. Healthy. The soil has a microbiom, some of these bacteria gets ingested and helps your gut microbiom to flourish. Helps to "tell" your body how to digest what your eating.
What do you use the lime and Epsom salts for? ,
@@strudlebae5831 I'd say lime for pest, epsome for magnesium to balance calcium? Just a hunch. When you have healthy plants you have no pest.
With due respect Bob I have never met a 'farmer' who doesn't use chemicals. How many acres do you farm? Where I live, outback NSW Australia, the weeds are everywhere. I guess its possible to go back to the old ways, but the productivity would be greatly reduced. Insecticide, weed killers, fertilisers are standard in modern intensive large-scale agriculture. I can fully believe someone reverting to non-chemical for small scale agriculture, but large-scale is the present and the future to feed the planet (who don't farm by the way).
@@henrykater9728 yes I agree. I don't think we can go back to the time of large scale farming without chemicals. It's too expensive. It's a shame that's all. I'm not a farmer, i cant grow wheat and barley ( i could grow probably a few metres, but id then have the huge bother of threshing it) I think all I can do for me is grow what vegetables and fruit I can. Have a few chooks, one day I'd love 10 or so sheep and maybe a cow. Then instead of going to work for money and buying food, I spend my time making my food.
Yes there is a limit to what I can do.
No I will never be able to, or want to give up buying pre made...pasta, flour, milk, cheese, sugar to name a few.
It's just a shame that our food is often sprayed with chemicals, picked green, and the soils are getting depleted from nutrients, so the food then is less nutritious than it was/could be.
I know farmers work really hard, for often a tiny cut of what things are sold for, and that's a shame too. I wish we could go back, to a time where food was grown and produced locally but we cant. So to go forwards... Sometimes that is the hard question.
Thanks for this wonderful information.
Brilliant program. Thanks👍😏

My grandfather passed from Parkinson's, at the time my dad was working in the medical field hoping to roll out e.c.t. & e.g.t treatment in Australia to help bring back the neurological function for patients such as David. The rollout was achieved, after David passed.
What did separately emerge from dad's digging was a correlation of 'farmer's Parkinsons' in the direct circles of farmers using the particular chemical. No payment or acknowledgement or warning to current users has been given. No interest in researching the safety of these chemicals on a national level had occurred at the time of his death. It is an ongoing shame.
Both my father and I remember David being confident in the safety of using these products, he has been told it was completely safe to handle, he used it bare-hand on a regular basis. This is a crime.
I never got to know my grandfather for the man that he was, all I got to see as a boy was the 10 years of decline. My parents came back from living abroad, in part to give us that time with him and my grandmother on the farm. The shame when david's persona withdrew in the first stages was immense. I can only wish I could have had more time with him, I loved that man dearly; we all did.
So sorry for your losses. Sad that your dad's research stopped. Maybe someone will take it up?
I believe my dad died young (50 yrs) from being constantly exposed to golf course chemicals, liver damage.
Surely they have drowned their God-given consciences to the point they cannot even fathom any harm from what should be obvious. They are deluded, but one day they will see.

Glyphosate is used in pre-harvest drying methods to make it easier to knock down, harvest and collect. It then enters the food chain of commercial brand cereal, bread and snack products. Consumers complain about digestion issues and skin outbreaks and other inflammations.
and then we have idiots distract from that rising problem by accusing gluten of evilness! evil evil gluten, what have you done to us? side note: we been eating gluten for at least 2000 years without issues. only factor that changed recently: added chemicals like glyphosate.

It is sprayed on the food you eat and fed to the animals you eat as well.
You don't just go slop any chemical on the ground on a farm. These materials are all subject to application controls, and you need a license to use them, meaning you have to go to training for them to get that license and then you have to get training updates. These chemicals are all regulated. No one is allowed to go dump them around major water sources. You took a highly regulated and monitored process and threw it away like Australia and US use Rwanda farming practices. And frankly, I don't think Rwanda allows you to do anything you want. This is illiterate. If there are respiratory effects, you get a hazmat suit and respirator, you apply it in a tractor away from it. Literally, there is a tractor, the driver is up front, and 30 feet in back is the applicator tank system.
The problem I see is that the company is so gigantic. unless the verdict starts with a B and is at least 2 digits, meaning an end to the whole thing, it's meaningless. The corporation and more importantly it's officers and employees need to be put down, shut up, disgraced and impoverished.
It's just like the Sacklers and Purdue. Take it all. The museums taking their name off the building they paid for because of crimes against humanity.
This is a very well presented documentary and I believe that ABC has done a good job to present the facts as best they are known on the issue. Having said that and considering the obfuscation that Monsanto (Bayer) has put before the public about the safety of its products, it is clear that more research must be done and done now. We should not trust, but verify the safety of, chemical products.
It is clear that you are not well read on the subject.
@@DukeGMOLOL DukeTroll, you add a lot to the conversation. We've depended upon the chemical industry, unlike the pharmaceutical industry,😂😂 to safeguard our health by self-policing and that's not working out so well. We need governmental studies, independent of the industry, to test the most widely used chemicals. But that requires a robust government agency. So that would mean one run by Democrats. Not Republicans or Libertarians.
Having said that the case against this particular product is very murky. Only recently did the French agency IRAC rate this as a possible carcinogen even though its been widely used now almost 50 years. And I can tell you for certain it is much safer than those week killers used before which were not only carcinogenic but neurotoxins. It may be, with more restrictive handling and better safety preparation, the use of glycophosphates may be used with greater safety.
So I have read a good deal on the subject because I lived in the neighborhood of Monsanto HQs growing up in St.Louis and was quite concerned with their cavalier attitude to chemical handling, both manufacturing, use and disposal. See PCBs. But that doesn't condemn every chemical agent or every manufacturer. We have to pick and choose the objects of our opprobrium.😂
@@chicagofineart9546 There is no such chemical as "glycophosphates".
It's IARC.
The IARC is not a French agency.
The IARC did not rate glyphosate a "possible carcinogen" they rated it a probable human carcinogen. They moved their rating from Group 2b to Group 2a.

After less than a year of remission, it spread to his other eye and he lost his eyesight completely at the age of 52. 7 months later he was dead after it had spread to his brain. He was way too young to die. I was 12 years old at the time. Thank you Monsanto.

He sprayed Round up all over that yard everyday. My Mom always sat in their yard and enjoyed the Birds and flowers every morning with her coffee and in the evenings. For at least 15 yrs she was exsposed. Even after she went into remission, and was better. Good God if we had only known. She would still be alive to know all of our Children who have been born since her death. If only he had known to not spray that shit all around her and make her sick again.

Back in the 90s I had an uncle and a cousin (who were father and son) and another uncle who was related to my other uncle and my cousin,who were all farmers in Greece and who used various chemicals on their crops for years. within a year of each other, the two uncles died of cancer and my cousin died of cancer a few years later. So 3 people who were farmers and used chemicals on their crops all died if cancer. Now, Greece being a small country both geographically and economically, imported these chemical products. I can't say if one of the products they used was round up or if any of the products were from Monsanto at all. what I do know is that, and as the guy in the video said, they work with regulators of other countries to get there products certified for use, the Greek government or regulator, ALWAYS gave a warning to ALL the farmers when buying chemicals that they should wear correct safety suits, masks and head gear and gum boots because the products were carcinogenic. Now this means that at least one govern ir regulator in the world (and Im not saying they are Monsanto products) not only accepted the fact that farm chemical products were carcinogenic but also warned and told farmers what they needed to do to mitigate the risks. Unfortunately people being people, my uncles and cousins were like yeah, yeah, or the suits are too expensive or overbearing to wear etc, and they paid the ultimate price. the fact is however that regulators and governments and even industry CAN accept the risk and at the same time, instigate measures to mitigate or negate the risk all together.

Red Meat was discussed as a carcinogen before some of this stuff was..
It's like Erin Brockovich. The true story of where a company appeals against the decision knowing that if they delay the court case the person claiming will be dead and that will stop the case.
Those Australians with their drunken accents !! That's actually were it comes from and know it's all I hear!!! 😆 🤣 😂
They need stronger punishments against these companies. The current system does not work or they would not chance it.
My aunt and uncle grow corn and soy. They took over the large family farm when my papaw died. They use 'round up ready' seeds every year.
I asked them if they used it around their family garden (cabbage, sweet corn, melons, greens, etc that are not round up ready). I was pointing out that they were saying it was safe though they've never eaten produce that's been sprayed. They got angry and don't talk to me anymore....
Honestly, there's no way they could make a living as farmers in our region without these products. This company owns everything down to the way farming is now done.
So they are using glyphosate resistant GMO plants. So the farmers can spray glyphosate and kill weeds and killing only the weeds not the resistant crop with glyphosate chemistry part of the genome making the crop immune to being sprayed with glyphosate, right? I was trained to do this commercial spraying, they taught us in our pesticide applicator seminars how to NOT need to use pesticides.
I hope someone noticed this gal without gloves, with absolutely no skin/respiratory protection for this level of spray?
We were taught in Pesticide Applicator Licensing how to READ THE MSDS sheets FIVE TIMES before EVERY SINGLE USE every single time any pesticide (fungicide, herbicide, miticide...and 'cide chemical') is used. I don't think these people, to include all you wonderful intelligent farmers read that stuff even one time. If you had you would be wearing proper attire, practicing proper, rather high maintenance protocols and well, if you farmers knew better and were able to reduce your monetary expectations just a tiny bit, you WOULD NOT CARE ABOUT WEEDS. Weeds? What a non problem to farmers and little gardeners. I can say this based on a decade of formal education and hands on, tractors and shovel experience...for another 40 years.
Glyphosate is one of the more ummm, low toxicity and biologically safer of chemicals. Cancer. See, this is why people are so 'herded' persuaded...made gullible. Check out the LD50 rating...
Cancer is in our bodies naturally every single second of our lives. Our immune system takes care of cancer constantly. We have a very powerful immune system, almost could be called TOO powerful. Honest. Anyway, as soon as the immune system is weakened it then allows cancer to do its thing, grow and eventually kill. But if one gets their immune system back up and thriving that immune system is able to cure level 4 cancer. Hey, don't believe me, look it up. Probably not on Web MD or Monsanto crap...
I remember this botanical chemistry guy giving a lecture, in one of our Cooperative Extension Service Pesticide Applicator seminars...'Heck, you could drink this stuff, but I won't'! Glyphosate is an amazing chemical for non specific weed 'control' if used correctly and only in extreme cases ummm, such a Japanese Knotweed control. Otherwise, one had better discover the CAUSE of the problem instead of using a bandaid on the symptom.
A plant has to be vigorously photosynthesizing for glyphosate to work. It only takes a tiny bit on a few leaves of a plant to kill the entire plant. Anymore than that such as saturating a plant, injecting it into stumps and canes...is simply a lie. Glyphosate messes up the photosynthetic system by causing certain amino acids to be blocked. Glyphosate is not some contact herbicide/pesticide. It takes 3 weeks for this to work. Just not a viable control measure at all. Should never be used routinely. But farmers are sucked into the machine and glyphosate is part of this machine, this mind set. Of course, Glyphosate would be made into the Bad Guy! How silly.
It doesn't leach, it doesn't harm biological organisms, alter the soil systems...that is what we were taught and were able to read on the MSGS sheets. Who knows what is true anymore?
I've used glyphosate a few times on a commercial basis. Usually using chemical proof gloves whetted with glyphosate or a heavy droplet size and very very sparse. I first of all READ THE MSDS sheets 5 times each and every time I decided that using this was in the best interest of environment and clients. I am a commercial pesticide applicator who was taught that there is no reason for pesticide other than ignorance. It is literally a bandaid for a problem we humans caused by not understanding what the heck we were doing...other than making money.
Farmers do not need to worry about weeds to this extent; changing the genome of vital crop plants to allow MORE spraying, but less operator time. Lame, lazy and irresponsible...and controlled by money. We are losing perspective of what the true 'culprits' are...those culprits are us humans making more and more and more to make more and more money. Need to slow down and really learn about the knowledge we read in some book or were told to use by some boss one was employed by and enslaved to?
Why oh why hasn't this focus on glyphosate not been used on fluoride? Oh my! Let us put things in perspective!!
And what is the problem exactly? We live longer thanks to the ag/industrial revolution and your food is affordable thanks to chem spraying.
Yeah, I'm not a fan of monsanto's gm seed purely because the yield isn't as great as naturally selected seed (farmers where I live tried monsanto seed and it wasn't as good as regular chosen seed) but if the yield was as good then I'd support it. It's all about the yield in farming... if your cousins won't talk with you it's most likely because you talked biased crap at them.
Oh, and if you have a problem with trace elements of roundup on your grain then you'd better stop drinking and showering in tap water because chemicals are used therein to kill bacteria also. It's those minute quantities of poison that give us a 70+ plus year lifespan when compared with the 50 year lifespan people had 300 years ago.
*Crusaders like you are not helping the poor as you want to push the price of grain up*.
@@alexanderpowell1528 I just happen to be a Commercial Pesticide Applicator, licensed for 3 decades after 8 years of college, 2 degrees, in Landscape Architecture. I taught horticulture and ID. I know chemistry and what you are saying is rather ignorant. Sorry but it is.
Cooking food and chlorine has caused us to thrive up until now. You have no idea what you are talking about! GMO makes food into ALIEN plants, NOT at all what our bodies evolved to eat. You do know that if we found green stuff on some other planet that is sort of kind of similar to our plants we evolved with for food that...we could NOT EAT THAT ALIEN PLANT. We should not eat that alien plant.
It is all in the yield you say? All about money. Groovey....you know nothing jon snow...honest be careful, you might be running into experts that actually know stuff you do not. Of course, you might not like what we have to say and you will fight tooth and nail to discredit us but the only one who gets hurt will be you. I know this stuff and reading these comments makes me very pessimistic about how humans will ever compete with their own arrogance.
You are a liar stormy- You haven't been spraying for 30 years and you don't have 2 degrees. How can I tell? Your grammar is lousy and your choice to deploy the word 'alien' is ignorant.
People like you give science a bad name.
@@alexanderpowell1528 If the subsidy of using corn for ethanol and beans for bio fuels were removed . especially since fracking gives cheaper better fuels anyway .. then prices would crash on seeds and attitudes would all be adjusted appropriately. You never know. economics are on the oil and gas side now again.

@David Coker I can't tell if you're being ironic with that statement or not.
An awesome product. Used it for years followed all the safety precautions. Used correctly will do the job saving many hours of back breaking work. Many folks who have an issue with this product never attempted the physically daunting task of land clearing and foliage eradication particularly on a small scale.
Yeah I used it too. Didn't mean to. I bought straw from a garden center that had herbicide holdover in it and used it to mulch my garden. It killed my plants and took two years to get out of the soil. I bloody hate the vile poison.
@@communitygardener17 Your post is false Lois. Glyphosate has NO soil activity and you can plant a crop right after application. It will kill many plants it touches but not all of them.
@@communitygardener17 Doesn't sound correct. It's not systemic through the soil. It's direct application to the foliage. Certainly not right that a mulching product did not list it was sprayed. However if I was you I would have been concerned what it contained that it caused a systemic reaction.
Wow. The fact that anyone can sleep at night after knowing this poison is killing people....
As an Iowan when the farmer at the Farm Expo says they don’t understand in California, there’s more there than we know and won’t change. The demand for corn for the world is extreme. Farmers make very little off crops. The farmers are pretty well stuck paying the prices for the seed and fertilizer and herbicides or they lose. If you look at how tall the corn is with the one farmer, that’s not normal. Corn used to be much shorter when I was growing up. The game is yields. The more bushels per acre the more money. That roundup ready corn produces more. Since our government is really bad about supporting farmers so they profit, they are stuck. Farmers aren’t idiots. They know. But they also take their career path that they feed the world seriously. Then we have to add in in Brazil they are chopping down the rainforests and farming it, the American farmer loses a lot in profit. Brazil creates competition and lowers the prices a farmer gets for their grain.
They all known including the government.
well said that goes for every country the globalist cabal
"Questions have been raised about the APVMA's independence, as most of its funding comes from the industry it regulates."

Nick thats true of other government reulaters slso especialy in THE food industry//// to damn much ////
If you want to drive a used car that no longer registered, you pay to get it tested, does this mean you paid for the approval? This is normal, do you think they should get the testing for free? Who pays the police? We do, therefore they should let us go if we do anything wrong, so we will keep paying. Your assumptions are jus that, assumptions. Nuff said.
FYI glyphosate is banned in many part of Canada at both the municipal and provincial levels.
Bayer spokesperson: Agricultural Chemicals don't cause cancer
Big Tobacco: That sounds reasonable
How do these B's sleep at night? They sleep because they have no interest in you or your health. It's amazing how cheap life is when you're the one who profits.
Right, so don't forget your groceries are a lot cheaper because of it too, amazing isn't it.
We are all guilty of this.
Monsanto should be dissolved. I worked for Bayer in the early 80's and corporate greed has become their compass. GMO should be outlawed.
Blubbering horseshit.

@MrKalashnik0va --Why?
All the fruit we eat is genetically modified, is that really something you think we should outlaw or do you know what you're talking about?
The only solution I can see is to provide protective gears to farmers or whoever is going to use it, because the farmers have no other option but to use so use it with the protective gear provided by Monsanto/Bayer.
Why would you want to eat food that requires a full chemical suit to spray chemicals on it just to grow ?
The new boss from Bayer seems just as shady as Monsanto
monsanto is playing russian roulette with your health !!!
Except that every chamber has a bullet in it, and they're all labeled with the names of weeds, except for one bullet labeled "not humans!" The bullets aren't supposed to hit anything but the weed they're labeled for, and please note; none of the bullets are labeled to hit humans!

Its much worse:
ever heard of "soft kill?"
Monsanto is tasked with killing Americans without detection, much like dj rump, the gop, the brit crown, dictators everywhere etc, etc. Except for maybe Cubans.
This is probably the reason republicans don't want all Americans voting in elections, aside from the obvious.
These guys have been culling the world population since columbus.
elitists do NOT want all of their favorite haunts overrun with normal/average/ignorant people. These are the average people who are easily convinced it's ok to NOT wear a mask and stand as far away from others as practicle, during a pandemic. Also, these are the average people who do not believe there is even a deadly virus killing people, even as they lie on their deathbed from this virus.
Nothing kills better than roundup they dont lie lol why are soo many ppl still asleep :(
AGREE BUT IT DOES NOT COUSE CANCER.

We talk about farming, but in my neighborhood ppl regularly spray their yards with Roundup, not wearing protective masks or gloves. I imagine our cities are as poisoned as the fields.
Roundup is not sprayed on yards, it would kill the yard.
I come from an agricultural background and I had no idea how much unnecessary chemicals were used in city yards until I moved to a town for 5 years. Open your eyes. At least in agriculture it’s used to feed people not for ornamental purposes!
Yards are more toxic than fields, because people overspray almost universally.
@@paintedwings74 Exactly. My neighbors hire their driveways and gravel walks sprayed with roundup 3X a summer. Overspray killed some of my flowerbeds.

Roundup did not cause it.
So that is just frightening, my husband died from bowel cancer, he used to spray roundup using a spray from a tractor. I am in remission from NHL and have roundup in my garage, you can buy it in the supermarket. My son died from NHL.
