Finally! WHO Acknowledges Round-Up Carcinogenic Risk



Round-Up has been studied for decades and the documented health risks have been denied and or trivialized. Finally, a sea change:
Bunge, Jacob (2015, March 21). Health Agency Finds Risk in Herbicide. The Wall Street Journal, B3. [Excerpted] Glyphosate, the herbicide widely marketed by Monsanto Co and other companies, likely has the potential to cause cancer in humans, a World Health Organization agency said Friday.

Majia Here: Research conducted in Europe found severe long-term carcinogenic and reproductive effects from regular consumption of Round-Up ready agricultural products.

And this area is supposed to be extra sensitive to environmental things. But lies and deception play a very important role in American life--I can not even imagine an America without them. This should be emphasized to school children.
