> Finally, our famous herbicide 'Round-Up' (Active ingredient: Glyphosate) is not as safe as it claims to be. Now that it is found to behave like 'Oestrogen' and to stimulate growth of 'hormone-dependent breast cancer cells' even in 'parts per million (PPM)' doses. Suspicion has been rife for several years that this thing was 'too good to be true' but with no definite evidence; but now the journal Food and Chemical Toxicology provides new evidence (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23756170) after retracting another article on toxicity of 'glyphosate-ready' maize and soya bean. What will our friends in Monsato say?

Every time I turn around something else has health implications, where shall we run to. Someone should descend through the clouds soon with the shout of the archangel and the loud trumpet and after the ghosts have gone to meet him, I follow.

Thanks Bibian.

We have been following the issues of glyphosate for the past one year. Yes there are pointers to its carcinogenic effects and may be soon it will be listed as a hazardous herbicide.

However the challenge is the naughty weeds and very little labor force to help farmers.

Yes a lot to pray for. We do not want to be food insecure.

Regards,

Nina

Blessed people,

Which weed is this. Please break it down in lay-terms. 

Shalom,
