The USDA has just approved a
new generation of GMOs for use with more deadly herbicides than
the toxic glyphosate that currently taints farms across America.
You won’t hear about this on the mainstream though - it was all
done very quietly in the hopes that no one would notice. Bayer
has developed a soybean that can withstand applications of the
toxin isoxaflutole (IFT). IFT is classified as a probable human
carcinogen. That’s right - they KNOW that it causes cancer and
they created a plant with which they can use it anyway. A plant
that is meant to feed us or feed our livestock. They’re going to
douse the fields with it and allow it to leach into groundwater
and contaminate soil. The EPA knows this. Read the data sheet
about this - you won’t believe your eyes when you see the
assessment of this chemical that will soon be sprayed all over
fields across America. Based upon a battery of acute toxicity
studies, Balance Herbicide is classified as Toxicity Category
III. Isoxaflutole demonstrates developmental toxicity and has
been classified as a Group B2 carcinogen (probable human
carcinogen). The data available at this time indicate that
isoxaflutole is very phytotoxic. Isoxaflutole is persistent and
mobile, and may leach and accumulate in groundwater and through
surface water. (source) They KNOW and they are allowing it
anyway. Since glyphosate wasn’t ruining the world fast enough,
Bayer decided to up the ante. Herbicide-tolerant weeds have
adapted to the pesticide and now to continue growing the GMO
scourge, more toxic methods have to be used. “Bayer’s new GE
soybeans represent the next wave in agricultural biotechnology -
crops that dramatically increase farmers’ use of and dependence
on toxic herbicides,” said Bill Freese, science policy analyst
at Center for Food Safety. Dubbed FG72, these GE soybeans were
developed by Bayer CropScience, the second-largest agrichemicals
firm in the world. The EPA has designated IFT as a “probable
human carcinogen” based on animal tests in which it triggered
liver and thyroid tumors in rats. IFT and its major breakdown
product persist in surface waters, and despite its limited use,
at present is frequently detected in tests. It is also toxic to
aquatic organisms, wild plants and important crops (e.g.
vegetables.). IFT is so toxic that three states - Wisconsin,
Michigan and Minnesota - rejected the Bayer-EPA label for this
herbicide as insufficiently protective of human health, the
environment and neighboring crops. First generation GE crops,
like Monsanto’s Roundup Ready (RR) varieties, are resistant to
the herbicide glyphosate. Skyrocketing use of glyphosate with RR
crops has wiped out biological diversity in our fields, for
instance nearly wiping out milkweed and thereby contributing to
a dramatic decline in Monarch butterfly populations. Glyphosate
use has also triggered an epidemic of glyphosate-resistant weeds
that now infest roughly half of farmers’ fields. “Bayer and
other biotech companies are now poised to introduce a host of
‘next-generation’ GE crops resistant to more toxic herbicides as
a false ‘solution’ to massive weed resistance,” said Freese.
“But their effect will be to generate still more intractable
weeds resistant to multiple herbicides.” (source) Also hopping
on the second-generation GMO train are the ever-evil Monsanto,
with new varieties of corn and cotton, as well as Dow, with new
varieties of corn and soybeans. The EPA and the USDA are
supposed to be our safety net - they are supposed to be agencies
of protection. Instead, they allow the big biotech companies to
set their own rules and policies. There is absolutely no excuse
for approving the use of a toxin that is a probable human
carcinogen and yet the agencies established to protect us did it
anyway. We are already in the midst of a cancer epidemic in this
country. Nearly half of the population will deal with cancer at
some point in their lives. The President’s Cancer Panel, a
three-person panel that reports to the U.S. president on the
National Cancer Program calculated that 41% of Americans will be
diagnosed with cancer during their lifetimes. If you’re male,
the chances are 1 in 2 that you will be diagnosed with some type
of cancer, and women have a 1 in 3 chance of the dreaded
diagnosis. A Global Cancer Statistics for 2011 study names
cancer as the #1 killer in the western world and #2 in
developing countries. (source) With this new USDA approval, I’d
say the odds of getting cancer just got a whole lot higher. No
longer is just avoiding GMOs and eating organic enough. Our
water supply is tainted. Our land is contaminated. Even the air
we breathe is subject to pesticide drift. You need only to look
at the petri dish that is the Hawaiin island of Molokai to see
what happens to a population that is subjected to these types of
farming techniques and that occurred with the LESS TOXIC
glyphosate. (“Less toxic glyphosate” are words I never thought I
would type!) Do you still think I’m overreacting about GMOs?
Only through the development of genetically modified plants that
can withstand these deadly poisons would the probable human
carcinogens be able to be used. IFT is a chemical weapon and the
fields of America are the warzones.
