You may have heard it put something along these lines: GMOs have been around for years and nobody’s gotten sick from them, so stop worrying about their safety. This convenient industry cop-out runs counter to the findings of a new study published in the Journal of Organic Systems, which links massive increases in more than 20 chronic diseases to the ever-rising use of glyphosate on genetically-modified (GM) crops, further indicting biotechnology as a major human killer.
Researchers looking at data contained in U.S. government databases found that since its unveiling in 1974, glyphosate, which is sold by Monsanto under the brand name Roundup, has directly tracked nearly two dozen categories of disease. Corresponding increases in both glyphosate use and disease prevalence are undeniable, according to the data, suggesting that this common weedkiller may be a primary driver of chronic illness in North America.
