10 toxic chemicals made by Monsanto, this is too terrible to believe: Info taken liberally from above link ! ty
(Nutrasweet) including both Aspartame and Saccharin
In 1985, Monsanto bought Searle Company that was the main producer of artificial sweetener called aspartame used in carbonated beverages. Nutrasweet products are low calorie sweeteners that have been linked to cancer, craving for sugar, obesity, diabetes and chronic neurological disorders. This
PCBs
In the late 1920s, Monsanto become the largest producer of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) used as hydraulic fluid, cutting oil and lubricant for electric motors, capacitates and transformers. Now PCBs are widely banned and known as one of the most dangerous chemicals related to cancer, immune system disorder, birth defects and even death
DDT
In 1944, Monsanto among 15 other companies started manufacturing DDT as a pesticide for killing weeds. Despite all the claims of Monsanto that DDT was safe, the research in 1970s confirmed that DDT was toxic and due to public pressure DDT were banned in 1972.
Roundup
Soon after DDTs were banned in 1973 Monsanto developed another toxic pesticide called Roundup.
After selling Roundup, Monsanto’s sales grew by 20% and from 1980s to 1990s Roundup has made up for 45% of the company’s income.
Bovine Growth Hormone (rBGH)
The Bovine Growth Hormone (rBGH) is injected to livestock for faster growth and production of more milk. Based on many studies rBGH growth hormones are related to breast cancer in women and prostate cancer in men.
Genetically Modified crops
Monsanto’s American dream to genetically modify our seeds and food supply has turned into a nightmare for everyone including US farmers, consumers and the economy. Linked GMOs to obesity, infertility, cancer and even autism, Monsanto has been able to fully dominate and control our seeds and food supply. The devastating results of GMO crops have cause more than 250,000 deaths of Indian farmers in the last decade.
Dioxin and Agent Orange:
Monsanto and Dow were the main producers of dioxin that was a byproduct of 2,4,5-T herbicide. 2,4,5-T herbicide was used as an agriculture herbicide before 1950s. Since 1940s more than 300 million pounds of dioxin laden 2,4,5-T has been sprayed on more than 400 million acres of famers and agricultural property in US. Later on, 2,4,5-T dioxin-containing herbicide was mixed with 2,4-D to create the chemical warfare called “Agent Orange” against the Vietnamese.
Polystyrene
In 1940s, Monsanto focused on oil-based plastics including synthetic polystyrene which is still widely used in food packaging in US. Polystyrene foam is non-biodegradable and an environmental disaster.
Influence and domination of Monsanto over our foods and seed supply
More than 75% of processed foods are genetically modified and more than 90% of all soy and corn grown in US are GMOs. One would wonder how a corrupted company like Monsanto with its dark history can be in charge of our foods and seeds. Roger Beachy, the former director at Monsanto, was head of USDA. The Monsanto Protection Act gave Monsanto ultimate protection from both the legal system and the government.
Atomic Bomb and Nuclear Weapons
During WW2, Monsanto was involved in Manhattan project and production of the first nuclear bomb that was later on dropped on both Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Although, the history written by the powerful and rich claims that dropping atomic bomb was the ONLY way to end the war with Japan, the documentary by Oliver Stone called “the untold history of US” clearly shows that this isn’t true at all and America had already won the war.
