Hey, did y’all know that Emperor Pedophile on Wednesday signed an order “Promoting the National Defense By Ensuring an Adequate Supply of Elemental Phosphorus and Glyphosate-based Herbicides.”

#Glyphosate is the active ingredient in the herbicide #Roundup. In 2019, a meta-analysis by the University of Washington found that increased exposure to glyphosate boosts the risk of Hodgkin’s lymphoma, a cancer that affects the lymphatic system, by up to 41 percent. That link has also been alleged in tens of thousands of lawsuits. Just the day before the order, #Bayer — the owner of #Monsanto, which makes Roundup — agreed to pay $7.25 billion to settle thousands of these lawsuits. The pharma giant has paid out $14 billion for the damages caused by glyphosate.

The timing of Trump’s order is convenient. The Defense Production Act allows companies to be protected from liability lawsuits.

#MAHA moms threaten to turn this car around as #RFK Jr. flips on #pesticide

Members of the Make America Health Again movement are in open revolt after founder Robert F. Kennedy Jr. publicly backed President Trump's executive order Wednesday that would increase domestic production of #glyphosate —a pesticide the MAHA movement and #Kennedy have railed against.

This is worrying.

After publishing alarming results on the carcinogenic effects of #glyphosate, the senior researcher of the study seems to be removed from his position as research director at his Italian institute. The whole process seems to be very nontransparent.

Daniele Mandriolini had been the target of “an incredible amount of attacks” since the publication of his article.

What is going on here?

Carcinogenic effects of long-term exposure from prenatal life to glyphosate and glyphosate-based herbicides in Sprague–Dawley rats - Environmental Health

Background Glyphosate-based herbicides (GBHs) are the world’s most widely used weed control agents. Public health concerns have increased since the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) classified glyphosate as a probable human carcinogen in 2015. To further investigate the health effects of glyphosate and GBHs, the Ramazzini Institute launched the Global Glyphosate Study (GGS), which is designed to test a wide range of toxicological outcomes. Reported here are the results of the carcinogenicity arm of the GGS. Methods Glyphosate and two GBHs, Roundup Bioflow used in the European Union (EU) and RangerPro used in the U.S., were administered to male and female Sprague–Dawley (SD) rats, beginning at gestational day 6 (via maternal exposure) through 104 weeks of age. Glyphosate was administered through drinking water at three doses: the EU acceptable daily intake (ADI) of 0.5 mg/kg body weight/day, 5 mg/kg body weight/day and the EU no-observed adverse effect level (NOAEL) of 50 mg/kg body weight/day. The two GBH formulations were administered at the same glyphosate-equivalent doses. Results In all 3 treatment groups, statistically significant dose-related increased trends or increased incidences of benign and malignant tumors at multiple anatomic sites were observed compared to historical and concurrent controls. These tumors arose in haemolymphoreticular tissues (leukemia), skin, liver, thyroid, nervous system, ovary, mammary gland, adrenal glands, kidney, urinary bladder, bone, endocrine pancreas, uterus and spleen (hemangiosarcoma). Increased incidences occurred in both sexes. Most of these involved tumors that are rare in SD rats (background incidence < 1%) with 40% of leukemias deaths in the treated groups occurring before 52 weeks of age and increased early deaths were also observed for other solid tumors. Conclusions Glyphosate and GBHs at exposure levels corresponding to the EU ADI and the EU NOAEL caused dose-related increases in incidence of multiple benign and malignant tumors in SD rats of both sexes. Early-life onset and mortality were observed for multiple tumors. These results provide robust evidence supporting IARC’s conclusion that there is “sufficient evidence of carcinogenicity [of glyphosate] in experimental animals”. Furthermore, our data are consistent with epidemiological evidence on the carcinogenicity of glyphosate and GBHs.

Outrage at European science center as director ousted after study on glyphosate

A leading European chemical safety institute has fired the director of its cancer research center after the director led an extensive testing program into the safety of the pesticide glyphosate, sparking concerns about chemical industry influence into what has been an independent research institution.
