Glyphosate causes cancer -- even at exposure levels that
authorities consider safe. That's the conclusion of a scientific
study that's just been published in the peer-reviewed journal
Environmental Health.
This is the world's most comprehensive independent animal study
ever conducted on glyphosate, the world's most-used weedkiller
chemical.
But the science isn’t enough. Our governments will ignore
this new study if we let them, and won’t dare to confront the
chemical industry lobby unless we show them that’s what we
demand:
Tell every government on Earth to ban glyphosate – and
let’s make Bayer-Monsanto pay for its toxic legacy!
The UN’s top cancer experts already warned us back in 2015:
glyphosate causes cancer in lab animals.
This comprehensive new study, led by the Ramazzini Institute in
Italy, goes even further though, showing that long-term exposure –
even at low levels equivalent to the EU’s Acceptable Daily Intake
(ADI) – causes early-onset leukemia in rats.
So glyphosate spin doctors can’t even say “the dose makes the
poison” anymore to dismiss glyphosate cancer concerns. No more
excuses.
Some governments have restricted glyphosate and glyphosate-based
weedkillers – but it’s time for total bans, and this landmark
cancer study could help make that happen:
Let’s tell our governments to ban glyphosate and make
Bayer-Monsanto pay.
Millions of Ekō members have reached across the world to resist
Bayer-Monsanto and other agrochemical giants that pump out poison
for profit. We very nearly won a full ban in the European Union last
year, and we’re supporting a lawsuit to make that one right.
What’s certain is that glyphosate’s days are numbered – but we
must push to move our governments and get rid of this poison for
good.
