Monsanto’s Infertility-Linked Roundup Found in All Urine Samples Tested

A recent study conducted by a German university found very high concentrations of Glyphosate, a carcinogenic chemical found in herbicides like Monsanto’s Roundup, in all urine samples tested. The amount of glyphosate found in the urine was staggering, with each sample containing concentrations at 5 to 20-fold the limit established for drinking water. This is just one more piece of evidence that herbicides are, at the very least, being sprayed out of control.

Glyphosate in Monsanto’s Roundup Impacting Global Health

This news comes only one month after it was found that glyphosate, contained in Monsanto’s Roundup, is contaminating the groundwater in the areas in which it is used. What does this mean? It means that toxic glyphosate is now polluting the world’s drinking water through the widespread contamination of aquifers, wells and springs. The recent reports of glyphosate showing up in all urine samples only enhances these past findings.

Monsanto continues to make the claim that their Roundup products are completely safe for both animals and humans. However many environmentalists, scientists , activists, and even doctors say otherwise. Glyphosate radically affects the metabolism of plants in a negative way. It is a systemic poison preventing the formation of essential amino acids, leading to weakened plants which ultimately die from it.

A formula seems to have been made to not only ruin the agricultural system, but also compromise the health of millions of people worldwide. With the invent of Monsanto’s Roundup Ready crops, resistant superweeds are taking over farmland and public health is being attacked. As it turns out, glyphosate is also leaving behind its residue on Roundup Ready crops, causing further potential concern for public health. Glyphosate is even contributing to escalating rates of mental illness and obesity through the depletion of beneficial gut flora that directly regulates these functions. But it certainly doesn’t stop there.

Researchers tested roundup on mature male rats at a concentration range between 1 and 10,000 parts per million (ppm), and found that within 1 to 48 hours of exposure, testicular cells of the mature rats were either damaged or killed. Even at a concentration of 1 ppm, the Roundup was able to affect the test subjects by decreasing their testosterone concentrations by as much as 35%.

    I just wrote a blog piece this weekend on the state of city drinking water in general. In the process, I checked my city water supply stats and found out it contains Roundup! Of course, it doesn’t say so… it listed the chemicals that were found to be either at a level deemed above healthy levels or were at illegal levels.

    So it is very, very possible that these city folks had glyphosate in their urine from their drinking supply. But yes, it’s in all GMO products, grains, and the animals that eat them. Know your farmer!

      Sorry, but this is some truly scary stuff! The residue left on crop plants and foods doesn’t ‘go away’ or ‘wash right off’. Monsanto convinced the country of India to allow their farmers to use Round-up ready cotton… after the crop is harvested, they farmers traditionally let their cattle into the fields to forage on the left-over cotton plants… They had been doing this for the last hundred+ years… The very 1st time they allowed the cattle to graze on the Roundup-ready cotton, the ENTIRE herd died… from glyposate poisoning! This caused India to ban all Round-up ready seeds… like I said… scary stuff! I won’t use it!

    More pesticides means more sterility. More sterility means less people in an already over crowded world.
    As I see it Rusty should be the first to go to reduce our crowded world. A real IDIOT and no loss.People, listen to Alex Jones.com on the internet. He has been preaching about this for a long time

    I saw a program about a year ago about a family from Texas and Mexico that have lost work in the fields, because the farmers were using Round up and did not have a need for them to pick weeds anymore.It was 20/20…Dateline…60 Min….
    They worked in the Sugar Beet Crops…Do not eat sugar from sugar beets….I believe Dr. Mercola has a list of crops that he knows they use it on…corn and soy also on the list….Cows eat corn…soy is in everything….need I say more!

    Hi … I used Roundup on my patio to stop the weeds, a few weeks later my cat got really sick. Well she was treated with antibiotics , recovered but seemed to get deathly sick about every few months until finally they did surgery (wrong diagnosis) and found she had a liver abscess … she died a horrible death. It never occurred to me that that was her favourite spot to sleep, then of course she groomed herself … I really feel the liver abscess was the direct result of the Roundup poison affecting her liver …….. shame on me I killed her… what are we doing to this world?

      Glyphosate chelates manganese which is a crucial nutrient for proper liver function. There are many farm animals suffering from the same liver malfunctions because of glyphosate.

    Hi, I’m German, and I just tead the original article. Basically, the test persons were employees in Berlin, white collar types, some lawyers, office people. It was noted that none of them had any connection to agriculture, and they were city people. So it is suggested that they ate the round-up through food and maybe they came in touch with some through the new procedure of municipalities spaying public walk ways, ply grounds etc..

    Apparently the study just started in , Dec 11, so the results are still being evaluated. The University is secret, because the scientists are worried that corporations will try to influence University officials to alter results and findings. It says that they will publish sell that once the study is finished and officially published.

    The article also explains how the round-up is widely used right before harvesting (within days) to grrr the crop “harvest ready.” It’s like putting the poison straight into the bread dow, and that probably explains why people have such high concentrations in their bodies.

      Oh, there’s a good rationale for depopulating the planet. Let’s poison people and render them infertile. There’s probably a job waiting for you at some pesticide company.

    If you read the article in English you will read that the subjects whose urine was contaminated were people from Berlin who had no direct contact with glyphosate. The article does not state how many people were tested, however.

    Why cant they go back to the basics and use colloidal silver atoms, externally on plants and vegtable, it a natural alterntive and its anti viral and antibacterial, plus it kills parasites.

    Interesting. I would like to see some original sources as well. I have family members who insist on planting all Roundup GMO yr after yr, and I have said many times its going to bite us in the arse!

    As far as the honeybees, I keep bees as well. The chemical of greater concern for bees is imidacloprid (sp?) Which is a neonicotinoid insecticide applied to seed before planting. Trade names include Gaucho and Poncho. Chemical is taken up into the plants system providing insect pest protection, but is found.in the pollen and nectar the bees gather in addition to the water drops that are transpired by the plant at the leaf edges and that is where the really high concentration of poison is found, as high as 1000x higher than in the nectar or pollen. This information, incidentally, has been published in many different articles in Bee Culture and American Bee Journal the past few years.

      Very interesting, thank you. Any recommended course of action?

      There’s a huge black market for honeybees now.

    The Russians conducted an experiment with rats and figured out that third generation is infertile.

    That’s why the bees in the States are dying.

      We live in South Florida and have more bees than I want to contend with ( then again, we have our own veggie garden going and use NO pesticides whatsoever). Whenever we mess with the balance of nature, it’s gonna come back and bite us you-know-where.
