So he drank Round Up and he was fine?
That stuff smells like Vietnam.
Yes. It was not a good outcome for the people shrieking that it's death-in-a-bottle, I mean.Quote:

Well, roundup contains some 40% glyphosate, the LD50 is around 3000mg/kg or 3grams/kg. I do not know the density of roundup so I don't know the volume but assuming someone weighs 80kg then they would have to ingest 240grams of roundup or about 600ml of the fluid to pass the LD50. It's quite a lot but not an impossible amount either.Quote:

In any case, I wouldn't recommend anyone drinking roundup.
I am glad Zippy finally did a Youtube, I didn't realize he was Glenn Beck's sidekick, though.
What a Maroon.
I take a good, pharmaceutical grade glyphosate. You can find it at Trader Joe's or on ebay.
Well I'm not totally convinced that he drank glyphosate, he did drink something that came out of a bottle that says Round Up on it, though. I'm sure he believes it is "ok" to drink, just like the scientist who refused to drink it, but that doesn't mean he would actually do it necessarily.
I mean, did he really drink "fracking fluid", either? Most fracking fluid is re-used, it certainly is not re-used fracking fluid. Even the glass cleaner could have been gatorade.
If he did drink glyphosate, I wouldn't be surprised if he came down with something at some point. Might take a few years. Or maybe glyphosate is worse if you are exposed to smaller amounts on a regular basis... dunno.
The guy that you're referring to is not a scientist. Nor is he a Monsanto lobbyist. (Remember, everything the anti-GMO movement puts out is a lie. It really is that simple.) He is Greenpeace founder who left the movement precisely because anti-science crazy mob have taken over his vision, and are now burning crops that would save the vision and lives of children in Africa. They are literally evil incarnate.Quote:

I'll believe it if a hardcore skeptic buys a bottle of Roundup from a retail store and this guy is willing to drink from that. Otherwise only a fool would believe this is real, oh hi angelatc.
What reason do I have to not believe this guy drank what he said he did?Quote:

Wonder if this could become and internet video craze.
So...when people start posting videos of themselves doing just that (drinking roundup) will people still be skeptical?
Go to youtube and search for L.A. Beast. That dude will eat or drink just about anything:Quote:

This article seems to have quite a few links to some of the latest studies showing harm from glyphosate and the adjuvants found in Round Up.
http://www.collective-evolution.com/...ed-herbicides/
people drink DDT to prove it wont kill you either but you gotta have rocks in your head to really do it.. its definitely not good for you and neither is this roundup crap.
angelatc if you wanna drink poison its your right to do so.. go get some round up or chlordane or 35 Big Macs from Mcdonalds, or a carton of cigarettes and enjoy...
but stop trashing us people who just would prefer trying to eat cleaner and better in a world full of synthetic-man made-not good for you- garbage foods.
thats pretty rude of the guy to drink the birds children in front of them like thatQuote:

All the photos in the exhibit were taken during 2014 and are divided by subject including sports, daily life, politics, environment, art, nature and entertainment. Some were previously published by media outlets, while others had not been used before. The 300 photos were selected out of more than 3,000.
In each exhibit, Argra releases a catalogue with all the pictures and the one included on the cover is considered the most relevant of the year. This time, a photo of Grandmothers of Plaza de Mayo head Estela Barnes de Carlotto hugging her grandson Guido Montoya Carlotto was chosen.
Techeira’s picture, included on the catalogue’s back cover, was taken by Página/12 photojournalist Pablo Piovano, who published a photo essay called The human cost of agrotoxins after touring many of the provinces where such chemicals are regularly being used. The essay received many local and international awards and some of its photographs were included in the Argra exhibit, which has been an annual event since 1981.
A contentious debate is growing in farming communities across the country as a growing number of environmental and social groups are calling for an outright ban on the herbicide glyphosate, which has been used on the country’s crops for years, after the World Health Organization (WHO) declared it a probable carcinogen.
Glyphosate is used on more than 28 million hectares in Argentina, which are sprayed with about 200 million litres of glyphosate per year, according to the Doctors Network of Fumigated Towns. Even though Monsanto holds more than 30 percent of the market, it is hardly alone. Syngenta, BASF, Bayer, Dupont, Dow, Agrosciences, Atanor, YPF and Nidera also produce the herbicide.

What are you talking about, Monsatan has been exterminating butterflies worldwide since the 1990s and yet Africa is still in shambles in 2015!Quote:

I don't believe he actually drank what he claims it is. But let's try to remember this guy and see if he gets cancer or something in the future.
His latest video he ate coins!Quote:

Wasn't it Mao who smoked 6 packs/day of cigarette until old age and never got cancer. He could have drank pure unadulterated glyphosate and still avoid cancer. The test comes when you increase the sample to say 100k, drinking it multiple times and then we can see how many of that sample get cancer after say 10 yrs. A study of 1 is not a very scientific way of doing a scientific study.Quote:
