Glyphosate Registration Rejected by Federal Court – EPA Ignored Cancer Risks, Endangered Species Risks

On the day Roe v Wade was overturned, you may not have heard, The carcinogenic weed killer sprayed on your streets parks and schools – Federal Court Reject EPA Glyphosate Registration – EPA SAY Glyphosate IS SAFE

“Today, in a historic victory for farmworkers and the environment, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit sided with Center for Food Safety (CFS) and its represented farmworker and conservation clients by overturning the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) decision that the toxic pesticide glyphosate is safe for humans and imperiled wildlife. Glyphosate is the active ingredient in Monsanto-Bayer’s flagship Roundup weedkiller, the most widely used pesticide in the world.

The 54-page opinion held the 2020 interim registration of glyphosate to be unlawful because “EPA did not adequately consider whether glyphosate causes cancer and shirked its duties under the Endangered Species Act (ESA).” Represented by Center for Food Safety, the petitioners in the lawsuit included the Rural Coalition, Farmworker Association of Florida, Organización en California de Lideres Campesinas, and Beyond Pesticides. A consolidated case is led by Natural Resources Defense Council and includes Pesticide Action Network.

Today, 430 civil society and Indigenous peoples organisations from 69 countries around the world called on the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) to uphold human rights and end its partnership with CropLife International. CropLife is the industry association that represents the world’s largest pesticide manufacturers.

Monsanto, owned by the pharmaceutical company Bayer, is nearly synonymous with one of its most contentious products, Roundup. The weed killer, which causes cancer, will no longer be sold to everyday consumers starting 2023.

BILLIONS PAID OUT TO GLYPHOSATE USES

GLYPHOSATE SELLER BAYER FINED $2 Billion – Appeal Denied August 2021

And a recent court decision from the state of California only adds to the pharmaceutical company’s woes.

Bayer-owned Monsanto acts with “reckless disregard” and loses recent appeal, struggles to hide from litigation against its beleaguered and cancer-causing weed killer, Roundup

On August 9, 2021, the 1st Appellate District in the Court of Appeal for California rejected a bid from Monsanto to overturn a recent trial they lost against a husband and wife duo of plaintiffs, Alva and Alberta Pilliod.

A US jury has found that chemical giant Monsanto knew its Roundup weedkillers were dangerous.

A man who claimed herbicides containing glyphosate had caused his cancer is to receive $289m (£226m) in damages from the company

Mr Johnson was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma in 2014. His lawyers said he regularly used a form of RangerPro while working at a school in Benicia, California.

The ruling said the potential risks of the product were known by the scientific community and Monsanto failed to “adequately warn” of the danger.

Uk Government Recommends Glyphosate

GLYPHOSATE, GMO, Damages Pineal Gland

Glyphosate Induces:

• induces Neurological Damage
• Disrupts gut bacteria
• Linked to Autism
• Anemia
• Hypoxia
• Premature birth

The pineal gland is highly susceptible to environmental toxicants. Two pervasive substances in modern industrialized nations are aluminum and glyphosate, the active ingredient in the herbicide, Roundup?. In this paper, we show how these two toxicants work synergistically to induce neurological damage. Glyphosate disrupts gut bacteria, leading to an overgrowth of Clostridium difficile. Its toxic product, p-cresol, is linked to autism in both human and mouse models. p-Cresol enhances uptake of aluminum via transferrin. Anemia, a result of both aluminum disruption of heme and impaired heme synthesis by glyphosate, leads to hypoxia, which induces increased pineal gland transferrin synthesis. Premature birth is associated with hypoxic stress and with substantial increased risk to the subsequent development of autism, linking hypoxia to autism. Glyphosate chelates aluminum, allowing ingested aluminum to bypass the gut barrier. This leads to anemia-induced hypoxia, promoting neurotoxicity and damaging the pineal gland. Both glyphosate and aluminum disrupt cytochrome P450 enzymes, which are involved in melatonin metabolism. Furthermore, melatonin is derived from tryptophan, whose synthesis in plants and microbes is blocked by glyphosate. We also demonstrate a plausible role for vitamin D3 dysbiosis in impaired gut function and impaired serotonin synthesis. This paper proposes that impaired sulfate supply to the brain mediates the damage induced by the synergistic action of aluminum and glyphosate on the pineal gland and related midbrain nuclei.
