What if you could prove that Monsanto’s best selling herbicide Round Up is affecting you personally? Maybe you’ve thought of testing yourself, but didn’t know which lab to go to that would report the true results. An answer to your pleas has arrived. In an unprecedented move, a non-profit organization has set up an independent lab that all people can access in order to test for glyphosate.

Feed the World has set up the first ever validated glyphosate testing (LC/MS/MS) for the general public worldwide, which will be provided in the U.S. with the support of the Organic Consumers Association (OCA). There is no better way to prove that glyphosate is harming the entire population than to confirm that most of us have traces of it in our urine, breast milk and tap water.

The cost of testing for each of these is much less than what many doctor’s office visits or labs would charge for a simple blood draw –but you don’t have to draw any blood.

It is time to find out just how pervasive the world’s number one weed killer really is. The active ingredient in Monsanto’s Round Up – glyphosate – has been found in everything – ground water, air samples, and of course, our soil, and it has also shown up in fetal cells. It has already been shown to be present in our urine, blood, and breast milk. (http://naturalsociety.com/3-studies-proving-toxic-glyphosate-found-urine-blood-even-breast-milk/)

$120 per test. I see the test says it can measure to one part per billion. At one part per billion, everybody will have glyphosate in their urine or blood. Even if all you eat is organic. http://feedtheworld.info/glyphosate-testing-test-yourself/?ngo=GreenMedInfo

which even your link noted.


Conversely, people who eat primarily organic foods, and animals that are given feed from non-GMO plants, have lower levels of glyphosate in their urine.


Moms Across America was one of the sources for the claim of glyphosate in urine, blood, and breast milk. They have been forced to recognize that their testing methods left a lot to be desired and the results were worthless.

Our previous MAA tests and reports completed in 2014 showed that glyphosate is found in American women’s breast milk, urine and water, but due to the ELISA testing method used in these tests the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and other government regulators were able to ignore the results.

I just used Roundup for my driveway and my flowerbeds. I'm tainted :(

ok.. why can't I find the link to the lab?

Round up gets into the ground water. This is why so many people have it in their system.

You want to get rid of weeds? I have a very simply tried and true way...

Vinegar Herbicide Formula:

1 gallon of 10% vinegar
Add 1 ounce orange oil or d-limonene
1 teaspoon liquid soap or other surfactant (Bio Wash)
Add molasses at 1 tablespoon per gallon to the vinegar formula
Do not add water

I used it undiluted to inject into a sapling that I got tired of fighting with. And my well is on the same side of the house. And I live near a river.

Maybe you progressives and big government advocates should be focusing on medical tests paid for by taxpayers through Medicaid, Medicare, Obamacare, etc. You often jump on alternative health items that people are free to take or leave, but never question these government interventions:




Docs Question 135 Routine Tests and Treatments


Now there are 135.


That's how many medical tests, treatments and other procedures - many used for decades - physicians have now identified as almost always unnecessary and often harmful, and which doctors and patients should therefore avoid or at least seriously question.

The lists of procedures, released on Thursday by the professional societies of 17 medical specialties ranging from neurology and ophthalmology to thoracic surgery, are part of a campaign called Choosing Wisely. Organized by the American Board of Internal Medicine's foundation, it aims to get doctors to stop performing useless procedures and spread the word to patients that some don't help and might hurt.

"Americans' view of healthcare is that more is better," said Dr Glenn Stream, a family physician in Spokane, Washington, and board chairman of the American Academy of Family Physicians, which has identified 10 unnecessary procedures. "But there are a lot of things that are done frequently but don't contribute to people's health and may be harmful."


*

One large medical group with 300,000 patients, Santa said, calculated that following the Choosing Wisely advice on just two procedures, superfluous EKGs (electrocardiograms) and bone-density scans, would reduce its billings by $1 million a year. Nationally, that translates into some $1 billion in savings.

Strawman.

AFAIK, Donnay is the only person in this thread who wants the government to ban anything. And I seem to recall her sobbing when Medicare shipped an illegal back home so the system wouldn't have to pay.

The acetic acid in 1/2 gallon of plain white vinegar would kill just about any sapling, just pour it at the base. $1 solution. Negligible externalities.

Good luck in your scent of roach spray world though?

I have unopened Cheerios, now what, throw them away?

Take them back to the store for a refund.

From the chart at the original link:

"The above amounts are rough estimates at best and may not represent an accurate representation of the sample"

https://s3.amazonaws.com/media.fooddemocracynow.org/images/FDN_Glyphosate_FoodTesting_Report_p2016.pdf

It also notes:


What Do These Numbers Mean?

To understand what the above numbers mean to
the average consumer, consider the fact that the
acceptable daily intake (ADI) level is currently set
at 1.75 milligrams per kilogram of bodyweight per
day by the EPA. This means that over the course of
a day, an individual would have to combine all the
residue levels found on their meals and snacks and
consistently be below this supposedly “safe” level.

According to the old theory “the dose makes the
poison”, any individual whose daily exposure is at
or below this level over the course of their lifetime
should not have any negative health impacts. The
current ADI level was determined using industry
funded studies from the 1970s, and 1980s and
according to the latest advances in scientific
research is woefully out of date.

Since they agree dose matters, what do those numbers mean? Is that a lot? One in a billion is a pretty small number. One in a billion would represent just seven people on the entire planet.

Let's take the highest reported "estimated" dose- 1,125.3 parts per billion in Cheerios. And lets take a 150 pound human. 150 pounds is equal to roughly 70 kg. The listed "allowed" level is 1.75 miligrams per kg or for this person 122 mg per day.

One ounce of Cheerios is 28,000 milligrams. Of that, 1125 parts per billion is glyphosate or 0.000001125 times 28,000 milligrams. That means 0.03 miligrams per serving of Cherrios. Our human is allowed 122 mg per day so they can safely consume 3,631 ounces of Cheerios or 227 pounds of it a day. Every day. A 200 pound person could eat 300 pounds of Cheerios a day as far as glyphosate levels are concerned (assuming their stomach is big enough!)

If you are consuming that much then yes, maybe you have something to worry about. For the other items listed, you would have to consume even more every single day of your life to hit the recommended levels.
