No way! A multinational company covering up the harmful effects of its products. This is unprecedented.
What is unprecedented is that before Monsanto was in the business of futzing with the world's farming and food supply, it was the only company in existence that manufactured nuclear weapons detonators for the US military, while using that fact to extort billions of dollars out of US government contracts.
Must be one of them conspiracy theories.
😂😂😂
Only they have done the research and they have found that a lot of the illnesses we have are caused by the use of Glyphosate, and how it causes destruction of the interconnecting layers in various organs. Those studies have been out for quite a few years by most papers, and yet, they real kicker is looking at the rise of all sorts of diseases back in the early to mid 90s that were a result of the decade use of round up. And of course when it is found in 75% of air and water samples, it does make you wonder where it is all going right? Into our lungs before we even eat. Also, lets not forget that this substance is already an antibiotic as is, imagine that this could be a reason behind why bacteria, fungus, and many other things that can also help us, are also being destroyed in the process. Also, one should look up the use of round up and then dustbowls not too long after that 5-10 years or so.
Hahahahahaha
They keep directing you towards the 'scientific studies', and they never explain that they are the ones whom funded those studies.
Horseshit.

How can that guy look himself in the mirror - saying the jury didn’t understand the research / disgusting - no wonder Bayer bought Monsanto to try and rebrand the company
LIfe safer for a research paper :D
For years the tobacco industry told us that smoking didn’t cause cancer and now they have health warnings on every packet of cigarettes. The problem Bayer Monsanto has is the lie they have been telling has become so big that they can’t stop telling it.
And now Mr. Monsanto is back in charge of the FDA, and these same drug companies are trusted with developing MRNA vaccines that genetically engineer human beings, as we get sicker and sicker.
The sad thing is we sell chemicals that are illegal here but we make them here. Then we send them to other countries to be used on tobacco. The people cannot even grow food around their house much like mine. Their birth defects is unbelievable. Then people smoke the chemicals. Should a loaf of bread have a cancer warning like a pack of cigarettes? With the mixture of chemicals they use 50 feet from my house on the Wheatfield I would say oh yes
Was it Hitler who said:"Tell a lie long enough and convincingly enough and people will believe it is true."?
"THE AMERICAN HEART ASSOCIATION (ANCEL KEYS)" "PROCTER & GAMBLE" SYNTETIC OIL DEAL IN 1948 FOR $1 700 000us

The thing about it is. Is that the fda knew how bad smoking was for your health back then. But didn't wanna disclose the information to the public. They just wanted to push their product out, also regarding the monsanto company. These are the same ppl who made the agent orange chemical for the Vietnam war....this is company is not to be trusted at all.
Holy crap. The commercial before this video was a Roundup advertisement! Talk about a slap in the face. I’ve never seen a Roundup ad on UA-cam before this moment. Double slap
PRAISE THE LORD !
I just had the exact same thing happen to me. And like you I've never seen a Roundup ad on UA-cam...
Same. YT is tone deaf af.
@@The1MkII The way the advertisement system works is assigning key words associated with the video as the target demographic. If a company or product is mentioned and the demographic is towards that product than an advertisement is played. If you watch a video about how MLM's are pyramid schemes you will get an MLM ad because MLM's are mentioned repeatedly. A video about how Toyota covered up a known defective plug inside their cars that were responsible for over 10 deaths, "Come down to Lawless Toyota and drive away in a new Camery." A video on Nestle operation slave plantations, well you get the picture.
AD BLOCKER !!
I'm in no way an environmentalist, but after doing my own research we decided to stop using chemicals on our farm and return to old fashioned cultivating instead of using weed killers.
So you decided to destroy the soil by tilling instead of preserving it with glyphosate allowing for no till/low till farming.
@@Brap-pl2me You found the mythbuster.
Um, I'm a hobby environmentalist that lives in farm country. Have you considered looking into that whole "regenerative ag" thing? With the cover cropping and no till? I mean, if you're getting more than 12 inch deep roots then it probably doesn't matter to you. But if you've only got a good inch or so, it might be worth checking out for water percolation at least.
@@DukeGMOLOL No Till NO Chemicals, its perfectly easy, just read Kiss the Ground and get with nature...it is NOT your enemy
@@tonybroomfield7908 Kiss the Ground is a film, a biased film.
Gotta kill the cover crop Tony, organic can only kill it by tilling.
Glyphosate kills the cover without tilling and can then plant right into it.
Look what Agent Orange is still doing to the Vietnamese children. They never paid out to them.

So now that an American company sold it's poison to a German company the gates to sue are open while your own politicians prevented that to happen for nearly 50 years. Hypocrisy at its finest! It's no better than Bayer during WWll. They just did it for money instead of ideology.
"We work with the government..." This exactly the reason we have to doubt Monsanto's "scientific studies."
There are many studies showing glyphosate is safe.
@@DukeGMOLOL the ghost written papers?
@@trishhoney2172 No such thing. Health Canada put the 'Monsanto Papers' nonsense to rest in two separate investigations of the accusations of interference in studies.
Try again.
@@DukeGMOLOL the dark side will betray you
@@BlueBerry-vl4fj Not a single pesticide regulator or agency in the world rates glyphosate a carcinogen or harmful in any way at the extremely tiny amounts we are exposed to.
Organic farmers spray pesticides too such as synthetic copper sulfate.
If you pay attention, notice how many of the representatives of Bayer/Monsanto, as well as the Australian regulators don't answer the questions they were asked. Yet, everyone who doesn't have a potential conflict-of-interest are fully transparent in their answers as well as their methodology. That's really all you need. Transparent vs obscurity, when it's a matter of public safety, speaks beyond volumes.
& then there's Barnaby Joyce - the water seller & former minister for the veterinary & chemical federal departments who insisted on allowing diseased prawns to enter Australian markets & caused white spot disease of crustaceans - and many other crimes. All of a sudden he doesn't have any $$ problems.
Monsanto can demonstrate the safeness by having their CEO's bathe in it.

I doubt they did it for free!
That's like saying " we work with those we can pay off."
Anyone remember when the Tobacco industry had "all of these studies and investigations that prove smoking is safe"? Yeah, about that....
+Matiu
I literally used a plural in my post, your conspiracy theory is nothing but nonsense you made up based in your bias and scientific illiteracy, in science you must provide evidence. And there is no evidence to back IARC.
Go read the IARC monograph, and check what the authors of the cited reports have to say about the use of their research, or read the abstracts of the cites research.
Nothing provides evidence that Glyphosphate is carcinogenic, IARC has a terrible definition for "probable carcinogen" which is why this definition includes hot water and red meat. Stop stoking your confirmation bias by cherry picking the only thing in existence which makes this claim and go read the EPA report on glyphosphate.
Monsanto doesn't have a bad history with telling the truth this is another myth, in addition there is nothing stopping you from buying their chemical and doing your own research on its effects so your argument is moot.
and people still smoke and tobacco is still legal.
Tobacco is less destructive than both alcohol and marijuana, yet it's the one treated like the ultimate villain, while the latter vices remain hip, cool, and beneficial.
Cigarettes are safe if you don't light them. Just suck on them and pretend they're lit.
800 studies? My thoughts exactly, probably just tobacco science.
It never stopped there, more and more scams kept coming, tobacco isn't the first or last.
Science is a vulnerable, weak system, and even the people regulating are vulnerable to greed and power.
Some people are severely naive...it makes sense for Bayer to say what they say in response.
Protect the product at all costs, protect that investment, protect the bottom line!
As a metal worker who supplies agriculture, I am familiar with msds (material safety data sheets). In my shop there is a binder full of informative toxicology of the various products used. Abrasive disks, solvents, coolants, lubricants, different metals. Many are listed as know to be cancerous, neurotoxin, or irritants and provide advise on the proper use of their products to minimize risks. And all these materials don't kill plants. The last time I looked at the msds sheet for glysophate they claim the risk of cancer is unknown due to lack of testing. Roundup literally kills life and they forgot to test how it interacts on the human body. What were the 800 studies they refer to?
The MSDS sheet says nothing about a "lack of testing".
Not a single pesticide regulator or agency in the world rates glyphosate a carcinogen.
Get that binder but stay safe.
@@DukeGMOLOL how much do they pay you?
@@ann-mariepaliukenas19 I mock you and this nonsense entirely for free.
Yes, GLYPHOSATE Kills or Damages Bacteria, & what is in our Gut....Bacteria, enough said.
"Then we'd have to change to pesticides that are harmful to the environment" I would argue that all pesticides are harmful to the environment, maybe we just haven't seen the damages yet or they keep it hush hush...
It might be harmful, but its LESS harmful to the environment than all the extra land clearance that would have to be done to have the same output without the use of pesticides.
Exactly. What kills life will always be harmful to life. How are you supposed to work around that?
And deploying so much of it into nature must have a long term effect.
But people will always chose the easy solution.
I once was at a monsanto research lab. For them, the search for a herbicide was totally normal, no alternative available. They didn't even consider that using herbicides in large scale could be a bad idea.
Actually, I'm pretty sure the whole reason we use pesticide is because they harmful to the environment. I mean, they're not spraying chemicals on things because it doesn't kill
True, because what harms one living thing can harm others. Poison is poison. There's no way they can properly test in their sterile lab situations all of the possible combination of factors that can cause living things to degrade or which will be more susceptible to poisons at any time in their life more than others. Poisons can slowly kill, and you can not find it out soon enough.
I have used Roundup for many years, as did my father when I was young. Nobody in our family had any health problems that could be attributed to glyphosate, but I have recently begun to reconsider my view of it's safety. The biggest question that comes to my mind after watching this, "If glyphosate is as safe as Monsanto and Bayer claim, why would they fight so vigorously against independent or government testing that could potentially verify their claims?".
David, they do not fight against testing, they fight against misinformation.
Glyphosate is safe.
The truth is David that everyone in your family including you will eventually have health problems. Its called life, nothing to do with roundup. People just want to blame an easy target and the thieving lawyers allow them to get away with it.
Shut up both you muppets!😝
i hope your luck holds up.
@@henrykater9728 that's not life. Cancer, Heart Diseases, all unnatural ways to go out
I'd really like to know when will big corporations be accountable for their actions?
Big tobacco was made to pay because their product causes harm when used as directed. Glyphosate causes harm when used as directed. Should the manufacturers be made to pay as well? Should Big Agra be held liable?
When the government stops covering for them.
THE DAY YOU WILL STAND AND GO AFTER THE COMPANY.
MILLIONS WILL FOLLOW.
People have to wake up much faster as currently is happening.
Stop Bill Gates!
When they have no one left to kill and must turn on themselves
Man I told my Dad so many years ago how BAD this is. Poor Earth. I hurt for it.
I'm Chilean, and I worked for three years in an Australian farm. I demanded disposable overalls and a respirator for myself to spray the crops, everyone would give me funny looks because they thought it wasn't necessary to be so protected. All the other guys used to spray stuff wearing shorts and t-shirts even though they had the chance of doing it protected.
The same happens with the sun, they'd never wear long sleeves, hats, and sunscreen, but after a few years they wonder why they have melanoma.
An orchardist-farmer I know doesn't wear too much, he applies the herbicide with a paint roller, not a sprayer.
Did you get your protective equipment? Better yet, go to work at an organic sustainable farm!
You are much smarter than those others. Sadly, they just don't get it yet.
I believe the main reason that Monsanto was sold was because they knew this was coming out , they wanted to get out like thieves in the night...

My mother was diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma.. and we blamed it on the Roundup that was used by the lawn care company that came once a month and put Roundup down on the lawn, eventually our dog a little Corgi close to the ground developed all kinds of health issues. I totally blame my mother's disease that developed from the Roundup that was used around the house once a month. And to this I hold.
The lawn care company DID NOT put roundup on the lawn once a month or ever. Roundup would have killed the lawn.

In my first 6 months practicing as a junior doctor 6 people died from Roundup poisoning. Including a 72 year old farmer who inhaled some while spraying, and an 18 yr old who drank some while drunk.
What city were you in when this happened?
This is such old news, but good to see it in the mainstream, but surprising they didnt uncover how many of the EPA board members were former Monsanto employee's.
How can you say it is old news when they are still advertising and saying there is nothing wrong with their products? When people still don't know their products are not safe?
Glyphosate is significantly less toxic then the other available herbicides. If you get rid of this then people go back to using agent Orange.
True that!!!! They probably didn’t want to overwhelm the new people who are just hearing this for the first time with allllllllll that Monsanto Bayer has done. Everyone sticks their dirty buttery fingers in each other’s back pockets.
@Megan O the premise is they want to ban glysophate. Therefore they need alternatives. If glysophate is banned the second most popular herbicide is atrazine. Atrazine and other available herbicides are far more dangerous that's why glysophateis so popular, it's effective and safe to use. So it's not a false dichotomy because those are the only alternatives. Unless you know of safe alternatives?
Just LEAKED a tons of unordered nasty Chemicals that they didn't bother to even check.. at EPA
i have heard that gluten (and dairy) intolerances are due to sensitivity to glyphosate used in the growing, rather than to the wheat/grain itself. this would explain why lots of us are becoming sensitive to things we have eaten all our lives with no previous problems.
Yeah I heard the same thing, it's not during growing though but rather just before harvest. Spraying herbicide on the crops just before the natural harvest causes the plants to go to seed early and produces slightly higher yields. I read a paper about it a while back. The practice is called 'crop desiccation'
Sarah Ravenscroft yes. My personal theory as well
Christopher Rowley true but I believe this is only done part of the time. When the season is gonna be short, to speed up
You need to understand how Roundup works on the weeds and plant life. First all plants have what is called the shikemate pathway, Roundup attacks this pathway, thereby killing the weeds. Humans do not have this pathway so Monsantan makes the true claim that humans are not effected by Roundup. But what Monsatan hides from everyone is the fact Roundup has multiple registrations ,also registered as a antibiotic. Why? Because Roundup is very effective in destroying the good bacteria all animal life depend on for conversion of crucial amino acids. Humans have ten times the bacteria than cells, we can not survive without the good gut bacteria, our first immune defense. How does Roundup kill bacteria, the bacteria has the same pathway weeds have, so when you eat food laced with roundup like breads and cereal much of your gut bacteria is being destroyed or severely sickened. Fact Cherrio's have 1400 PPM and Oreo cookies have 600 PPM Roundup.
Then there is a nerve agent pesticide used on seed dressings of all GMO seeds, the EPA in the 1970's warned that this pesticide would kill all the bees and fish in the rivers if ever released in America. The Criminal George H Bush worked for Monsatan and fired several of the EPA board members in support of the ban. Ban was lifted in the 1990.
Also the genetic makeup of GMO's is foreign to our bodies, GMO's can trigger an immune response because of the process used for placing genetic material in the desired cells. Must use a virus to invade the cells.
I agree, thats why I'm switching to grass fed milk for our cream pies. I'll be purchasing over 5,000 LBS a week from local farmers. I think glyphosate gets into the milk when farmers feed their cattle
GMO/glyphosate grain...
When I was in college doing work study they put a backpack with roundup on my back it leaked all down my back the lady in charge said she fixed it but was still dripping out the lid and wanted me to put it back on and go back out I said I wouldn't!!! This is what happens when people don't be honest about risks and provide hazardous material data sheets!
Glad you didn't have more exposure to roundup. Sorry those people were so uncaring.
My husband had NHL TWICE and is doing great now. But since winning the lawsuits, I want to know WHY IN THE HELL THEY ARE ABLE TO CONTINUE USING THIS ?? More needs to be done about these people. 🙏🙏💙🙏🙏 Prayers to all the people affected by this horrible stuff by Roundup/Bayer. 🤬🤬🤬
He did not get cancer from roundup.
Watch till the end. Monsanto made farmers economically dependant on using the stuff, even if its poison. Same reasons as Percocet and oxycontin are still available, people NEED it dangerous or not.

Duke Steele did you just conveniently bypass the part in this video where it brings up the case of Derek Johnson vs. Monsanto.. (6:55) This man was awarded a huge ass lump sum due to cancer concerns related to Roundup. Just recently, Monsanto lost their 4th case relative to that one (with 1000’s more still going through the courts). A US federal judge, clear as day, declared that Roundup was indeed a substantial factor in causing Mr. Johnson’s Non-Hogkins Lymphoma and Monsanto failed to make aware of the risks. & this same verdict was decided in 4 separate federal cases so far. A jury has decided that, 4 times. 4 times lol. With many more sure to come. Obviously whatever “important mega study” you are referencing didn’t hold a candle to the valid evidence that was presented in court because if it was that mega, it should of been able to set things straight. But, that’s that. My best regards.

I worked on the golfcourse w/ my dad, I got sick all the time. When I went to work somewhere else, I got better & continued working. In 1989, my life became hell on earth from the use of Dursban, (pesticde is illegal now) My son also got sick. At the same time my cat almost died, the vet said it was from the poison. But a doctor did not find out what was wrong with my son & I until years later. We improved after 24 years, then I got hit by an herbicide cloud in 2013, (Hi-Dep 2-4,D- sprayed by professionals). It contaminated my garden, my laundry, & water storage tanks. Overnight I developed breathing problems, peripheral neuropathy, siezure, memory loss, liver enzymes elevated, etc. I fell down the steps, I was so weak I couldn't fix my hair. I have once again made improvements with God's help & an organic whole foods diet. But I'd hate to see what I went through happen to anyone else. That's why I always tell my story. Don't let it happen to you or a family member. Protect those you love.
We need farmers and food. But we need to do it without poisons. It's not worth it to harm even one person, or one child...
Can't feed the world without farm chemicals. Regards.
@@DukeGMOLOL So it's just too bad for people who get sick, or the record number of farmer workers & their children getting cancer and leukemia? And what about children, the elderly, and others whose brain or immune systems are impaired or damaged by these poisons & no one really figures it out? Isn't it better to feed the world but not poison them at the same time? Isn't this a worthy goal to strive for?....
To dam true. And As farmers we have no choice. Without these damaging tools we can’t compete with those who use them. So I quit growing food commercially. Big corporations now own most of the large operations inB.C. 🇨🇦

I agree, Greenpeace activists should be jailed.

Anyone see this and think about the CEOs of tobacco companies testifying in congress that smoking DOES NOT cause cancer?
It has never been proved that tobacco does cause cancer. You can only go by the logic. No one is going to prove it. It can't be done. Monsanto and other chemical companies are relying on the same thing. No proof. They can kill and get away with it.

the fact that so many people actively deny the disaster taking place right in front of them is baffling. For years we've all known that chemicals are in no way better than natural stuff yet so many people deny it. the chemicals people praise so much come from the very environment we've been destroying for decades.
My grandfather passed from Parkinson's, at the time my dad was working in the medical field hoping to roll out e.c.t. & e.g.t treatment in Australia to help bring back the neurological function for patients such as David. The rollout was achieved, after David passed.
What did separately emerge from dad's digging was a correlation of 'farmer's Parkinsons' in the direct circles of farmers using the particular chemical. No payment or acknowledgement or warning to current users has been given. No interest in researching the safety of these chemicals on a national level had occurred at the time of his death. It is an ongoing shame.
Both my father and I remember David being confident in the safety of using these products, he has been told it was completely safe to handle, he used it bare-hand on a regular basis. This is a crime.
I never got to know my grandfather for the man that he was, all I got to see as a boy was the 10 years of decline. My parents came back from living abroad, in part to give us that time with him and my grandmother on the farm. The shame when david's persona withdrew in the first stages was immense. I can only wish I could have had more time with him, I loved that man dearly; we all did.
So sorry for your losses. Sad that your dad's research stopped. Maybe someone will take it up?
I believe my dad died young (50 yrs) from being constantly exposed to golf course chemicals, liver damage.
Surely they have drowned their God-given consciences to the point they cannot even fathom any harm from what should be obvious. They are deluded, but one day they will see. I just wish everyone would see now and spare so many from uneccessary suffering. You can't choose to do what's right out of compassion for others and not gain from it. God rewards those who care about fellow human beings.
Roundup is BANNED in many countries. Just like Gardasil is, yet here in the US they are labels as SAFE. This is what happens when corporations own governments and politicians.

It's probably the other way around, but they're in the same cozy bed! In the end, greed may very well be what did us in as a species.

Monsanto never said to drink it.
Being safe to drink and being palatable are two different things.
@@DukeGMOLOL but chemical companies in the past have brainwashed salesman so severely that salesman have eaten a spoonful of other products. I just heard about this a year ago at a pesticide recertification seminar i went to. I forget the product the speaker of the talk witnessed his boss eat.

Here is the most important question why use poisons ??!? I have farmed, never used a thing except, chicken poop, lime, ebsom salt, never had a problem. Sounds like Corporate farming which never works, Stop using Ammonium Hydroxide, for fertilizer. In WW2 it was used to harden the ground so planes can land on muddy ground. Why do you think so many people have their grand dads tractor and plow, but they now have to have engine blocks chained to the plow to help break the ground....?? You have turn your soil to brass. Never use poisons on things people will eat or wear.
Amen.. I'm an X chemical farmer. Fungus and bacteria are important to mineralization. Life in the soil is a good thing!
I agree, animal manure, organic matter. Healthy. The soil has a microbiom, some of these bacteria gets ingested and helps your gut microbiom to flourish. Helps to "tell" your body how to digest what your eating.
What do you use the lime and Epsom salts for? ,
@@strudlebae5831 I'd say lime for pest, epsome for magnesium to balance calcium? Just a hunch. When you have healthy plants you have no pest.
With due respect Bob I have never met a 'farmer' who doesn't use chemicals. How many acres do you farm? Where I live, outback NSW Australia, the weeds are everywhere. I guess its possible to go back to the old ways, but the productivity would be greatly reduced. Insecticide, weed killers, fertilisers are standard in modern intensive large-scale agriculture. I can fully believe someone reverting to non-chemical for small scale agriculture, but large-scale is the present and the future to feed the planet (who don't farm by the way).
@@henrykater9728 yes I agree. I don't think we can go back to the time of large scale farming without chemicals. It's too expensive. It's a shame that's all. I'm not a farmer, i cant grow wheat and barley ( i could grow probably a few metres, but id then have the huge bother of threshing it) I think all I can do for me is grow what vegetables and fruit I can. Have a few chooks, one day I'd love 10 or so sheep and maybe a cow. Then instead of going to work for money and buying food, I spend my time making my food.
Yes there is a limit to what I can do.
No I will never be able to, or want to give up buying pre made...pasta, flour, milk, cheese, sugar to name a few.
It's just a shame that our food is often sprayed with chemicals, picked green, and the soils are getting depleted from nutrients, so the food then is less nutritious than it was/could be.
I know farmers work really hard, for often a tiny cut of what things are sold for, and that's a shame too. I wish we could go back, to a time where food was grown and produced locally but we cant. So to go forwards... Sometimes that is the hard question.
History has shown us time & time again when a CEO speaks out to defend their product, most likely than not, the product is dangerous to the publics health and environment.

I just want to cry everytime I see these empty paddocks to the Horizon .

I have driven all over Australia and it's so scary especially in country New South Wales where there is absolutely no trees for hundreds of kilometres in any direction just dead soil and no one cares just let the farmers keep ruining the land so can make money selling our resources to China
Who cut the trees down? They need to leave hedgerows between fields, this makes for healthier fields and animals. They have to farm in harmony with God's creation, not wipe out everything except their crops!

It is sprayed on the food you eat and fed to the animals you eat as well.
You don't just go slop any chemical on the ground on a farm. These materials are all subject to application controls, and you need a license to use them, meaning you have to go to training for them to get that license and then you have to get training updates. These chemicals are all regulated. No one is allowed to go dump them around major water sources. You took a highly regulated and monitored process and threw it away like Australia and US use Rwanda farming practices. And frankly, I don't think Rwanda allows you to do anything you want. This is illiterate. If there are respiratory effects, you get a hazmat suit and respirator, you apply it in a tractor away from it. Literally, there is a tractor, the driver is up front, and 30 feet in back is the applicator tank system.
The problem I see is that the company is so gigantic. unless the verdict starts with a B and is at least 2 digits, meaning an end to the whole thing, it's meaningless. The corporation and more importantly it's officers and employees need to be put down, shut up, disgraced and impoverished.
It's just like the Sacklers and Purdue. Take it all. The museums taking their name off the building they paid for because of crimes against humanity.

It is a farming community and many of these farmers use these products without being educated of the dangers of the products they use. This is horrible.
What are the products that farmers use are dangerous as you claim???
Encourage people to have their own gardens and grow organically. Start a community garden or growing coop. Organic tastes so much better too. Most don't realize it until they give up the commercial food. Print out information sheets and distribute in your area. Education is the key.

In Canada, the only decent herbicide available for residential use is Roundup. I cannot find any source for the safer Ammonium Sulfamate.

Not all conservatives call names like that. I am convinced that Monsantos Round up does cause Cancer. Specifically Non Hodgkins Lymphoma. 1993 my Mother was diagnosed with NHL. Until recently, with all of these new cases with this specific cancer. It has become so clear that Round Up killed my Mother. My StepFather always had the most Beautiful lawns and Gardens. He sprayed Round up all over that yard everyday. My Mom always sat in their yard and enjoyed the Birds and flowers every morning with her coffee and in the evenings. For at least 15 yrs she was exsposed. Even after she went into remission, and was better. Good God if we had only known. She would still be alive to know all of our Children who have been born since her death. If only he had known to not spray that shit all around her and make her sick again. IF ONLY IF ONLY IF ONLY WE HAD KNOWN !!!!! There is no doubt now. Too many to deny. Those Bastards.

After less than a year of remission, it spread to his other eye and he lost his eyesight completely at the age of 52. 7 months later he was dead after it had spread to his brain. He was way too young to die. I was 12 years old at the time. Thank you Monsanto.

This is a very well presented documentary and I believe that ABC has done a good job to present the facts as best they are known on the issue. Having said that and considering the obfuscation that Monsanto (Bayer) has put before the public about the safety of its products, it is clear that more research must be done and done now. We should not trust, but verify the safety of, chemical products.
It is clear that you are not well read on the subject.
@@DukeGMOLOL DukeTroll, you add a lot to the conversation. We've depended upon the chemical industry, unlike the pharmaceutical industry,😂😂 to safeguard our health by self-policing and that's not working out so well. We need governmental studies, independent of the industry, to test the most widely used chemicals. But that requires a robust government agency. So that would mean one run by Democrats. Not Republicans or Libertarians.
Having said that the case against this particular product is very murky. Only recently did the French agency IRAC rate this as a possible carcinogen even though its been widely used now almost 50 years. And I can tell you for certain it is much safer than those week killers used before which were not only carcinogenic but neurotoxins. It may be, with more restrictive handling and better safety preparation, the use of glycophosphates may be used with greater safety.
So I have read a good deal on the subject because I lived in the neighborhood of Monsanto HQs growing up in St.Louis and was quite concerned with their cavalier attitude to chemical handling, both manufacturing, use and disposal. See PCBs. But that doesn't condemn every chemical agent or every manufacturer. We have to pick and choose the objects of our opprobrium.😂
@@chicagofineart9546 There is no such chemical as "glycophosphates".
It's IARC.
The IARC is not a French agency.
The IARC did not rate glyphosate a "possible carcinogen" they rated it a probable human carcinogen. They moved their rating from Group 2b to Group 2a.

As an Iowan when the farmer at the Farm Expo says they don’t understand in California, there’s more there than we know and won’t change. The demand for corn for the world is extreme. Farmers make very little off crops. The farmers are pretty well stuck paying the prices for the seed and fertilizer and herbicides or they lose. If you look at how tall the corn is with the one farmer, that’s not normal. Corn used to be much shorter when I was growing up. The game is yields. The more bushels per acre the more money. That roundup ready corn produces more. Since our government is really bad about supporting farmers so they profit, they are stuck. Farmers aren’t idiots. They know. But they also take their career path that they feed the world seriously. Then we have to add in in Brazil they are chopping down the rainforests and farming it, the American farmer loses a lot in profit. Brazil creates competition and lowers the prices a farmer gets for their grain.

They all known including the government.
well said that goes for every country the globalist cabal
FYI glyphosate is banned in many part of Canada at both the municipal and provincial levels.
Thanks for this wonderful information.
There’s a Monsanto plant in my hometown and dozens of people have died of cancer in my community. I’ve lost friends my friends have lost family members. It’s way too many people for my small town. Warren County Illinois is known as a cancer breeding ground. It’s heartbreaking.
I feel for you. This sucks to hear
Move, if you can afford to. Sadly that’s your best option.
@@gypjack258 I haven’t lived there since I turned 18 in 2011 but that’s not the point. 18 years of being exposed to the cancer causing water (most of that time being a baby/child in the 90s before we even knew the water was bad), watching as the water turned brown in our facets and waiting for them to open the road in front of our house to “fix” it every summer for several years, watching as bottled water services sky rocketed once we were told not to drink the water anymore yet we still bath/shower in it, brush our teeth with it, wash our dishes in it, wash out clothes in it etc, watching the crop dusters spray god knows what onto the fields for years, and now I and several of my friends have severe health issues. Moving isn’t the solution the damage was already done 30 years ago.
The EPA sold us out a long time ago. All that is needed to do is pay attention to the commercials that advertised a new drug. The possible side effects are horrendous. While the add is playing they always show couples usually with children in playing and having a good time too take the sting out of the negative side effects, absolutely
appalling😖
Correct Fact
It may not kill the 'roundup ready' crops, but it sure as hell absorbs it and passes it onto the consumer of the crop.
Organic farmers spray pesticides too.
Keep in mind this is the same company that made the Agent orange chemical that was used in the Vietnam war.
Keep in mind that Monsanto doesn't exist and that 5 other companies made Agent Orange at the direction of the US government during the Vietnam War.
Agent Orange was two already existing herbicides put into the same drum and an orange stripe was painted on it.
@@DukeGMOLOL the company did exist back then. Also it was indeed among the companies that made agent orange. Dow Chemical and Monsanto were the 2 largest producers of agent orange
@@babygirl6789 I "doesn't exist", not didn't exist.
And it does not matter who made AO way back then as no one from that era works or has anything to do with the companies today.
@@DukeGMOLOL so?...the company has a shady past and still works with pesticides and herbicides like they did back then. This company is not to be trusted.
@@babygirl6789 Organic farmers spray pesticides too. I don't trust organic farmers.
1. The modern farms all over the world look like deserts. These places were lush and the soil was fertile before they were turned into future deserts which need artificial fertilizers for crop survival.
2. "Normal" people who farm on these lands decided to turn said farms into future deserts by doing only monoculture without having other crops at different levels between their main crops so that its easier to harvest for them. Nature has its own way to kill weeds. If harsh weeds are present, its only because the soil is trying to save itself from complete death.
3. These normal farmers intentionally use artificial weed killers. You think that won't affect their health or ours when we eat these produce or stay around while they are spraying it? Of course they are toxic at different levels of toxicity for every living thing.
4. Every company will burn this Earth into a desert if it makes them money. They are evil incarnate. So, believing their paid science studies and buying their products should make you ashamed of yourself.
5. People should care more about the soil, vegetation and water rather than being only thinking about short term benefits before we turn this Earth into a cooker.
couldn't have put it better
So true from a texas farmer!
@buck ewer People are waking up.. decades late but...
and 4/5 of these farmlands are used for meat production, I'm not saying we should outright ban meat and dairy but we should limit our consumption for the good of starving folks and our planet
@@thedarksword3495 Don't be a fool! Even if you don't eat anything at all, they would still starve, those big corporations will sell them weapons and steal their resources and they will still starve.They use poor people as guineepigs and to test their chemicals, drugs and so on. Don be fooled they would be still starving, but if it calms your consciousness go ahead, be my guest.
I USED to use roundup & HAVE NERVE DAMAGE, AFTER BEING ALWAYS EXTREMELY FIT !!!!
Monsanto also made AGENT ORANGE used in vietnam war ! yep, great company !!!
Most people dont know about agent orange, one of the most toxic herbacides ever created.
Solveig, read my note.
@@plessis2023 Careful , David Adcock and Duke Steele will be all over you will total disrespect for comparing RoundUp to Agent Orange !!!
is this true¿? 😮
@@yerbaristo search Monsanto papers ... Monsanto also made DDT ... search: US Right to Know glysophate... all details and official sources
My child has been diagnosed with Autism.
I have been going crazy for the past couple of years to fond the reason.
I am so happy to find the readon now.
There are so many children with Autism in USA these days.
Sad

Roundup did not cause it.
So, given Monsanto said it was safe to drink, how many of the Bayer executives have downed a glass of it?
Yes Glyphosate (Roundup) is by far the safest herbicide farmers have ever used even much safer than man of the highly toxic pesticides Organic growers use and is produced and sold by many companies even foreign companies. Monsanto was bought out over 5 years ago and does not exist today. You sound clueless about this subject Carl.
@@davidadcock3382 no
Back in the 90s I had an uncle and a cousin (who were father and son) and another uncle who was related to my other uncle and my cousin,who were all farmers in Greece and who used various chemicals on their crops for years. within a year of each other, the two uncles died of cancer and my cousin died of cancer a few years later. So 3 people who were farmers and used chemicals on their crops all died if cancer. Now, Greece being a small country both geographically and economically, imported these chemical products. I can't say if one of the products they used was round up or if any of the products were from Monsanto at all. what I do know is that, and as the guy in the video said, they work with regulators of other countries to get there products certified for use, the Greek government or regulator, ALWAYS gave a warning to ALL the farmers when buying chemicals that they should wear correct safety suits, masks and head gear and gum boots because the products were carcinogenic. Now this means that at least one govern ir regulator in the world (and Im not saying they are Monsanto products) not only accepted the fact that farm chemical products were carcinogenic but also warned and told farmers what they needed to do to mitigate the risks. Unfortunately people being people, my uncles and cousins were like yeah, yeah, or the suits are too expensive or overbearing to wear etc, and they paid the ultimate price. the fact is however that regulators and governments and even industry CAN accept the risk and at the same time, instigate measures to mitigate or negate the risk all together. Would a nuclear scientist who works at a nuclear reactor site, go to work without their protective gear on?
WELL IT IS RIGHT THERE ON THE BOTTLE . . .
GRASS AND WEED "KILLER"
IT MEANS: IT KILLS, IT WILL KILL YOU.
@@moyzzhernandez5712
Seems simple yes retrospectively. However it wasn't so easy then.
The branding of these products said "it is the safest herbicide every developed" as harmless to handle as table-salt. It was said that there was science showing it was highly targeted & only dangerous to its target.
Red Meat was discussed as a carcinogen before some of this stuff was..
After losing three standard poodles that were all Therapy Dogs I learned a lot, I did all the testing with a local company here in Oklahoma City and I also consulted the agriculture department at our capital.This is very interesting our state agriculture department will not test for arsenic nor lead.After reading all the information taken from my yard then I went to small claims court then I was referred to civil court.I could not go to civil court because I had spent so much money Testing my yard and sending off one of my beloved Poodle Diego for testing “Necropsy”After you have something like this happen in the city and you’ve really done a lot of research you know the world is in trouble. Yes I dug my front yard up you cannot remove heavy metals. I still am a very cautious paranoid person. Yes and my life has been changed forever.
Patricia Russell, you can get rid of the heavy metals by applying charcoal to your whole yard. This will pull out all the toxins in your soil. Check out all the benefits of charcoal. Please research. Blessings to you.
Giant sunflowers being used to suck up industrial toxins over a 2 or 3 year period...you should look into it, plus the other suggestion. Other plants may do this...grow and remove the plant and retest. Luck!!
I understand. I feel like, scratch an American, you'll find an horrific tale of pain, death, suffering due to greed and the corporate takeover of America. Fully relate to paranoid and cautious.
Many said my grandma was un educated but I was born in 82 and I remember in early 90’s she say stay away from all those poisons if it kills the grass it can kill you
Vinegar kills the grass and people eat it too, and live.
If you sit in a group of liars and thieves long enough you accept the company line. Does not make it right!
They’ve known for years about roundup and Allowed them to overtake everyone.
They've know for years that glyphosate is safe and that has bee reaffirmed in the last few years.
What do you get out of lying? Do you work for Monsanto? Clearly glysophate is terrible for everyone
Bayer+Monsanto = a match made in hell
So true. In 1930-s they experimented on Auschwitz prisoners. Now they have the whole world to experiment on.
That's how they produced chemoterapy - killing people with chemicals. And since then killing next houndreds thousands because in most of cases chemoterapy is killing faster than a cancer it suppose to treat... :( Another medical scam tolerated for decades.
Bayer=HIV... Monsanto=cancer... i wonder what the future holds...
@@sukonmiskunk5696 moron.
really?...google "Bayer HIV'...and watch where they say on the news how they sold blood clotting medicine all around the world in the 80's that was contaminated with HIV...
Wish you had an update on this
Update: Roundup is and has always been safe.
Brilliant program. Thanks👍😏
