Monsanto's advertising once claimed: "Glyphosate is less toxic to rats than table salt following acute oral ingestion." But new findings indicate that Roundup, one of the most widely used glyphosate-based herbicides in the world, may cause severe damage to embryos.
Glyphosate-based herbicides were shown to cause deformations in chicken embryos -- deformations that resemble the kind of birth defects which have reported in areas where big agribusinesses uses glyphosate to treat genetically engineered crops.
According to Monsanto No:
“A valid question to ask now is: Why is Roundup still on the market? What is most important: To approve toxic chemicals from multinational giants or to protect human and animal health and biodiversity on this planet?”
