Drop all of your red pills about the poison that is in our food and water. I'll start:
Scientists have created the ultimate GM crop: contraceptive corn. Waiving fields of maize may one day save the world from overpopulation.
The pregnancy prevention plants are the handiwork of the San Diego biotechnology company Epicyte, where researchers have discovered a rare class of human antibodies that attack sperm.
Two months after releasing an alarming report on herbicides in cereals and other food marketed to children, an environmental advocacy group is back with additional findings. This time, tests detected trace amounts of glyphosate – the active ingredient in Monsanto's weed killer Roundup – in all of the nearly 30 samples of oat-based cereal and snack bars tested.
Gee wonder why kikes would be feeding us weed killer poison?

Despite their agricultural, economic, and safety , pesticides can also have negative impacts on our health. Many conventional pesticides are synthetic materials that kill or inactivate the pest directly. These chemical pesticides include compounds such as organophosphates, carbamates, pyrethroids, and sulfonylureas. Short-term exposure to a large amount of certain pesticides can result in poisoning. Exposure to large amounts of pesticides is usually more likely for people such as farmers who may frequently touch and/or breathe in pesticides. The effects of long-term exposure to small amounts of these pesticides are unclear, but studies have linked them to a variety of chronic health conditions such as diabetes, cancer, and neurological defects (for more detailed information, the EPA has an extensive table of health effects of different pesticides). Specifically, carbamates and organophosphates are known to affect the nervous system by disrupting a neurotransmitter called acetylcholine [3]. Studies have shown preliminary evidence that chronic, low-dose exposure to pesticides increases the risk of cognitive impairments and diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s later in life [4]. A study of 50 pesticides and more than 30,000 licensed pesticide applicators linked exposure of seven pesticides that contain chlorinated compounds (including two herbicides, two organophosphate insecticides, and two organochlorines) to increased risk of diabetes [5]. Exposure to pesticides has also been associated with increased infertility in women and developmental problems in children [6].
Varg was right, isnt the downfall of society comfy?

I can answer any questions about Agent Orange.

what did varg say?

What? Monsanto was lying to us this whole time about being able to drink weedkillers because we aren't plants and those chemicals can only affect plant proteins?
Oh, and lurk more op, format your god damn threads properly.

Glyphosate on it's own is less acutely toxic than salt, which is were this meme comes from. You can take glyphosate, mix it with water to form a concentration the same as the labeled rate as roundup and drink it and be fine. Likewise, this same solution will barely get into plants and won't be effective at all. This of course does not speak to any chronic toxicity effects.
Thing is, glyphosate is never on it's own outside of a lab. You'd have a hard time even buying it that way. It's always combined with a package of mystery surfactants, (which also happened to be far less regulated than the "active" ingredients of pesticide combinations). So drinking Roundup will fucking kill you, because it's concentrated super dish soap combined with a poison. It'll get the glyphosate into places it normally couldn't go, and also the surfactants will thoroughly strip off the protective mucus in your digestive tract, which is fairly traumatic health-wise.
Barring the obvious conflicts of interest involved, it's the surfactants that cause the research on glyphosate to be so inconsistent. When looking at research it's important to pay attention to whether it was roundup or pure glyphosate that was tested. Also note that there are variations on the glyphosate salt formulation, some of which are more effective than others. Additionally, the pH, EC and disolved mineral content of the water used can have a severe impact, hard water will bind up and neutralize a lot of glyphosate.
In any case, from your dish soap to shampoo to ag chemicals, it's a good idea to start paying attention to the surfactants you are exposing yourself to, because if they are what determines if glyphosate works, it's any guess what is going on with the other normally harmless things that you are covering yourself with daily. P.S. use molly's suds instead of detergents.
