Montrose - Daily Press

  You wont see this in mainstream media, they dont want us to know whats really going on with our food.   Round up is the worlds #1 herbicide. 100 million pounds applied annually on US farms, lawns,and parks .French scientsts have reported a number of formulations tested at very diluted concentrations,about the  same as found on food crops and animal feeds can alter hormone reaction and kill human liver cells within 24 hrs. The toxicity was independent of the amount of active ingredents, suggesting that the inert ingredents,solvents,sufactants and other chemicals largely remain unknowen since they are properity and not require to be listed, either alone or in combination,.These chemicals adversly assult the cells themselfs. It also showed that these formulations, along with the inert ingredents, disrupt hormone function more than just the listed glyphostate which is listed. You cannot just wash off round up, its whats called systemic and is in the plants cells and remember you are what you eat folks. We are so incredably blessed to have a few dedicated farmers localy,who dont buy into what everybody else is doing. Buy local, organic, be safe not sorry.....,  .....Peaceoutchickenman
