Summary How prevalent are GMO crops in the food supply? Glyphosate is now detected throughout the food chain and the
environment Correlations between the increase in glyphosate use on crops and organ
disease The data for corn and soy crops have also been plotted against % of U.S.
population who suffer from various medical conditions Corn and soy data are plotted against the incidence and prevalence of
diabetes and end stage renal disease (ESRD kidney failure) Correlations between increase in neurological diseases and the use of
glyphosate Intestinal disease, immune disease and glyphosate

The Frankenfood marriage
Roundup meets GMO, gets married, and starts to produce an unprecedentedset of problems, at a scale never seen before

Genetically Modified Organisms (GMO)
Plants and seeds that have been genetically engineered according toperform artificially well in a given set of circumstances
True long term consequences to antes food chain and environment areunknown

GMO and animal health Pigs fed a diet of genetically engineered soy and corn showed a 267%
increase in severe stomach inflammation compared to those fed non-GMOdiets
In male pigs, the difference was even more pronounced: a 400% increase
For the record, most autistic children are males, and nearly all of them havesevere intestinal inflammation
The study was conducted on 168 young pigs on an authentic farmenvironment and was carried out over a 23-week period by eightresearchers across Australia and the USA.
The lead researcher, Dr. Judy Carman, is from the Institute of Health andEnvironmental Research in Kensington Park, Australia. The study has nowbeen published in the Journal of Organic Systems

Yet more evidence that GMOs damage mammals Scientific evidence from others studies which show that rats fed a diet of
GMOs grow horrifying cancer tumors and suffer premature death
Up to 50% of males and 70% of females suffered premature death.
Rats fed GM corn and traces of Roundup suffered severe organ damageincluding liver damage and kidney damage.
The study fed these rats NK603, the Monsanto variety of GM corn that'sgrown across North America and widely fed to animals and humans. This isthe same corn that's in your corn-based breakfast cereal, corn tortillas andcorn snack chips.

Glyphosate According to USDA, glyphosate use increased 6,504%
between 1991 to 2010 in the United States
Glyphosate residues of up to 4.4mg/kg have been detected instems, leaves and beans of glyphosate-resistant soy
Indicating metabolism of the herbicide
This means that Roundup ReadyTM
plants are absorbing theherbicide and you cannot simply wash it off

How prevalent are GMO crops in the food supply?
USDA estimates that in 2012, 93% of all soy, 88% of corn and 94% of cotton
grown in the US was genetically engineered

Glyphosate is showing up everywhere
Glyphosate was frequently detected in water, rain and air in theMississippi River basin
U.S. Geological Survey 2011 Reported concentrations of glyphosate in air and rain as high as 2.5
g/L in agricultural areas in Mississippi and Iowa Chang et al

Correlation is not the same as causality There are multiple causes which could explain these
outcomes That being stated, this should be investigated further as there
are clear correlations between measurable health problemsand incidence of the use of glyphosate products
All of which should have been researched and publicallydocumented before being rolled out at an industrial scale
who watches the watchmen?
