What is the national security concern for glyphosate being sprayed on our crops, when our people are literally dying as a direct result? Cancer, osteoporosis (glyphosate chelates calcium primarily, and 10% of absorbed glyphosate goes to the bone marrow and taking calcium directly from our bones).

These companies just got given immunity in February.

1993: allowed ppm .025 1996: Monsanto lobby Early 2000s: 5 ppm 2008: EPA proposed 30 ppm, 600% increase from 2000s A grand total of 200,000% increase.

5 ppm is allowed limit of glyphosate. Original limit was .025 ppm. 20,000% increase from 1993.
Monsanto lobbied congress to increase the allowable ppm for business, because with the amount of chemical that they were spraying, they could not actually comply with the allowed limits. Because they wanted to desiccate all the crops and make it for an easier harvest.

Toxicity levels: 0.7 ppm for water; short term exposure causes lung congestion and kidney issues at this level, according to the EPA page Accumulation of 5000mcg glyphosate causes reduction in gut bacteria. It can actually accrue this way faster over the course of two years. Non alcoholic fatty liver disease Extension of QT segment and arrhythmia Just 75-100mcg per mL causes endometrial and breast cancer risk Just 940 mg/kg/day cause kidney damage.

The Environmental Working Group says it is only safe to ingest .00016 ppm vs EPA 5ppm. That is 31,250 times the safe level of glyphosate.

38 to 1,100 mcg/day is what is consumed in a 2000 calorie American balanced diet.

So, even 1 day of heavy grain consumption causes organ damage.

We need to start asking some serious fucking questions.And do something about this.

We do not hate these people enough. This is evil.
