Last month, Members of the European Parliament (MEPs) volunteered to take a urine test to see if glyphosate—the cancer-linked weedkiller—is in their system. Forty-eight MEPs from 13 different European Union countries participated in the test, and now the results are in. https://ecowatch.com/2016/05/12/mep-glyphosate-urine-test/
Of the 48 participants, EU-parliament members from Belgium, France and Germany made up more than 80 percent of the whole investigated participants. The test showed that EU-parliament members from Lithuania, Spain and Croatia had the highest concentrations of glyphosate. The lowest concentrations were in the urines of participants of from Italy, Finland and Ireland.
“Nevertheless all investigated EU-parliament members were glyphosate contaminated. This will show glyphosate is also in the food chain of members of the EU-parliament,” the report states.
Glyphosate, which the World Health Organization’s International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) declared a possible carcinogen last March, is the main ingredient in Monsanto’s widely used weedkiller, Roundup. It is also found in herbicides manufactured by Syngenta and Dow.

Monsanto and their ilk would like nothing more than to capture the food supply, use it to poison everyone and ensure that the only way you can stay alive is to be on several of big pharma's pills....from birth. Awesome.

This is a very serious issue. Whatever you think of GMO (genetically modified) crops, it's best to avoid them simply because most are modified to tolerate weedkiller. And then that land is sprayed and drenched all year in fucking Roundup weedkiller. If you don't want to eat it in your food, avoid GMO crops. Unfortunately, it's used on other crops, too, but not in those doses.
