Glyphosate in Hummus Test Results Report
Moms Across America
agosto 31, 2018

agosto 31, 2018 - Hummus es la merienda favorita para la mayoría de las personas que se consideran saludables. Aparentemente, la marca de hummus ahora se ha vuelto mucho más importante. Hoy, Moms Across America lanzó el resultados de pruebas de 10 muestras de hummus de 8 marcas mostrando niveles preocupantes de residuos de glifosato. Todas menos 1 de las muestras dieron positivo para niveles cuantificables. El glifosato se encuentra en Roundup, un herbicida popular de Monsanto, y se rocía comúnmente sobre garbanzos como agente de secado antes de la cosecha. El glifosato químico ha aparecido en numerosos titulares en las últimas dos semanas debido al veredicto en el juicio de Johnson v Monsanto. Johnson era un aplicador de pesticidas de la escuela y el jurado del gigante químico Monsanto le otorgó 289.2 millones de dólares por "malicia y opresión" u ocultar el hecho de que sabían que su herbicida de glifosato podría causar cáncer. Las marcas de hummus que dieron positivo para residuos de glifosato fueron Kirkland Signature, Sabra, Cedar's, Simply Balanced, Trader Joe's, Sadaf y Hope. El hummus orgánico de Lilly fue la única marca que tuvo un resultado no cuantificable para el glifosato.

Zen Honeycutt, Founding Executive Director of Moms Across America stated, “Glyphosate residues in hummus are not surprising, due to the farming practice of spraying garbanzo beans preharvest with glyphosate as a drying agent, but these results are terribly disturbing. The agriculture industry has known since 2015 that the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) classified glyphosate as a probable carcinogen. They had ample time to discontinue the practice of spraying this herbicide on their crops. We hope now, with these results and the verdict of the Johnson v Monsanto lawsuit, that the EPA will revoke the license of glyphosate and farmers will stop using harmful chemicals.”

Lilly’s Hummus representative stated that they source their garbanzo beans from organic farmers in California. When asked about the absence of glyphosate in their products they stated, regarding their suppliers, “They perform random field pre-checks on crops, and recognize glyphosate as one of the worst herbicides. We’re very gratified to produce a nourishing product safe for individuals and families free of this substance.”

¡NOTICIAS GRANDES, INCREÍBLES, FANTÁSTICAS, MARAVILLOSAS!

Dewayne "Lee" Johnson, un aplicador de pesticidas de la escuela con linfoma no Hodgkin, ¡GANA su demanda contra Monsanto! ¡El jurado (Dios los bendiga) otorgó a Johnson 289.2 millones de dólares! 4000 otros demandantes esperan demandar a Monsanto y 10,0000 se espera para fin de año. Seguramente esta decisión tiene a Bayer, quien ahora es dueño de Monsanto, reconsiderando si continuará vendiendo o no productos a base de glifosato.

¡Esta es una gran victoria para la humanidad! ¡Las corporaciones de todo el mundo ahora entienden que deben asumir la responsabilidad del impacto de sus productos! 

Mira el veredicto aquí: 

US Court demands that the EPA must ban chlorpyrifos in 60 days! Chlorpyrifos, a chemical sprayed on food crops, is a known neurotoxin, especially to children, and was supposed to be banned last year. But the ban was revoked by the current administration. Coincidentally, the ban dismissal was enacted after Trump held a meeting with the CEO of Dow, the manufacturers of the chemical, who gave a 1.2 million dollar donation to his campaign. At Moms Across America, we believe that no matter who we vote for, what our political inclinations are, that every public figure has a responsibility to protect our children. This behavior is reprehensible, and we are glad that the courts have the power to reverse that decision and reinstate the ban. We simply cannot allow big business to harm our little kids.

PREPARADO PARA LA 2018 REUNIÓN DE LA JUNTA DE MONSANTO

VIOLACIÓNES DE DERECHOS HUMANOS

ATRIBUIBLE A LOS PRODUCTOS DE MONSANTO

Datos compilados por miembros del Equipo del Tribunal de Monsanto, Navdanya, Moms Across America y ciudadanos preocupados de los EE. UU.

Introducción

Sostenemos que Monsanto, ante todo una empresa química, se equivoca al pensar que es su trabajo "Alimentar al mundo". El trabajo de Monsanto es asegurarse de que los productos químicos que venden sean seguros y efectivos. O, para redirigir sus recursos al negocio, lo que no incluye el uso de productos químicos tóxicos que pueden dañar a los humanos, la vida silvestre, el ganado, el suelo y el suministro de agua. Monsanto tiene la responsabilidad de mantener su compromiso con la seguridad e integridad de los productos formando un comité para investigar si se han producido violaciones de derechos humanos debido a sus productos y prácticas comerciales.

Millones de personas en todo el mundo están trabajando para reclamar su derecho básico de libertad de semillas, para proteger la salud y los derechos humanos y para promover la agricultura orgánica y la agroecología libres de veneno. Hacemos un llamado a Monsanto Company para garantizar que sus violaciones de derechos humanos reconocidas mundialmente cesen y desistan.

¿Sabías que ... a pesar de que Se espera que 1 de 2 hombres y 1 de 3 mujeres en Estados Unidos contraigan cáncer, un grupo de miembros del Congreso de los EE. UU. que forman parte del Comité de Ciencia, Espacio y Tecnología de la Cámara de Representantes, amenazaron con desmantelar y desmantelar el Organismo Científico Independiente de la Organización Mundial de la Salud, el Agencia internacional de investigación de Cáncer (IARC)? 

El desembolso de fondos de EE. UU. Podría tener el impacto de desmantelar todo este cuerpo que sirve al mundo entero en temas de cncer, como parte de la Organización Mundial de la Salud.

Miscarriage Coverup Revealed

On Tuesday attorneys from Baum, Hedlund, Aristei & Goldman, who are representing hundreds of plaintiffs accusing Monsanto of causing their Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma, made Monsanto's secrets available to the public. Documents produced during the discovery of the lawsuit, including emails, manipulated studies, and texts are proving to be a treasure trove of evidence not only for their case but for hundreds of thousands who have long named Monsanto the most hated corporation in the world.

Press Release from Moms Across America

Monsanto Shareholder meeting presentation enero 31, 2015 (UPDATED julio 1, 2022)

Organic Consumer's Association, SumOfUs, and Moms Across America held a rally at the Monsanto Headquarters on enero 30, 2015. Supporters came from St.Louis, CA, Arizona, Illinois, Washington DC, Chicago, and beyond.

Inside the meeting:
Zen Honeycutt represented John Harrington of Harrington Investments at yesterday’s meeting to ask for shareholder support for Item No. 5, Shareowner Proxy Access—an essential mechanism for accountability supported by institutional investors and the SEC.

 As the founder of Moms Across America, she spoke on behalf of millions of mothers, a  significant group of long-term stakeholders of Monsanto. Her presentation contained the following:

 1 out of 2 children in America today has chronic illnesses such as asthma, allergies, autism, autoimmune disease, Crohn’s, diabetes, and obesity. (1) All of these conditions and more can be directly linked to GMOs and Glyphosate--to Monsanto’s products.

 Zen said to Monsanto, on behalf of struggling parents, STOP POISONING our children!  Glyphosate—a patented antibiotic—has been detected in the air, water, food, Fruit Loops (see GMOFreeUSA.com) , our children’s urine, our breast milk, (2) and in feeding tube liquid (3)  fed to children with cancer, at levels thousands of times ABOVE what has been shown to destroy GUT BACTERIA—where 70% of the immune system lies. (4)

 The Monsanto shareholders MUST know, she said that without proper gut bacteria the body cannot make Tryptophan, Melatonin, or Serotonin which regulates insulin—leading to numerous illnesses including diabetes, a disease which is on course to bankrupt US Healthcare in 13 years. (5)

 When the gut bacteria are destroyed, food particles and pathogens escape through the intestines, causing allergies and auto-immune diseases.  Allergy ER Visits have increased 265% since GMOs and glyphosate were introduced. (6)

Without healthy gut bacteria and the ability to make serotonin and melatonin, our bodies cannot prevent insomnia, depression, anxiety, and bipolar disorder. 57.7 million Americans have mental illness today. (7)

 Glyphosate is a DNA mutagen and cell disintegrator, allowing toxins into the brain. (8)

Glyphosate is a chelator, causing vitamin and mineral deficiency. Without certain minerals, our bodies cannot fight cancer. (9)

Glyphosate is an endocrine disruptor, causing infertility, sterility, miscarriages, and birth defects. (10)

 She stated that she was submitting hundreds of testimonials from mothers describing what Monsanto products are doing to their children and showing how their children get better when they avoid GMOs and eat organic.

Zen also submitted hundreds of pages of studies and papers today showing how glyphosate impacts the gut-brain connection (11), leading to birth defects (12), liver and kidney disease (13), Parkinson’s (14), Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma (15), Alzheimer's, Celiac’s, Autism (15) and Cancer (16).  According to the current rate of diagnosis we can expect, that in 20 years, 50% of our children born will get autism. (17)

 Zen said that understands that no one wants to believe this is true, however, she asked, has anyone on the Board read the newest studies and research??

She asked :

"What if the very investments Monsanto’s shareholders are making to BUILD a foundation of security for our children and grandchildren are the same investments that are DESTROYING their future? What if instead of creating health and prosperity, they are causing ECONOMIC RUIN?

 What if instead of feeding millions of people with GMOs, Monsanto is in fact hurting generations to come?

 We mothers say, STOP IT. STOP IT NOW.

You have an opportunity to make a difference for your families and our country.  We ask shareholders to support the Shareholder Access Proxy and vote a pediatrician onto this board.  We ask Monsanto to have the courage to create a new future for Monsanto and America.

Thank you."

The proxy passed by 53%.

Honeycutt was thankful to Harrington Investments who gave her the opportunity to speak on behalf of mothers everywhere. She said, “I hope the shareholders were able to understand that I represent, not just angry moms, but moms who are informed, citizens. We have the experiences with our children and the science to back us up.” She promises that “Moms will not stop. We will not give up, because the love for our children will never end.”

Moms Across America plans a Moms MeetUp on mayo 2, 2015, where Moms will meet in their communities and cause a billion-dollar shift to organic food. Go to www.momsacrossamerica.com for more information.

Regarding an recent article on Dr. Marc Van Montagu's winning of the World food Day Prize and his comment that people who oppose GMOs "can only be due to “irrational fear” and not sound science. 

http://www.biotech-now.org/food-and-agriculture/2013/10/2013-world-food-prize-laureate-praises-ag-biotech-supports-gmo-science#

Dr. Marc Van Montagu,

Perhaps you are unaware that we Moms have seen our children's health issues, allergies, autism, auto immune disorders and asthma, plus obesity and diabetes, get BETTER when they avoid GMOs and eat only organic food.

We do not have fears about GMOs because we are alarmists or are irrational. We have fears about GMOs because we are realists. What we SEE right before us are many health conditions, my own son included,  like life threatening allergies being reduced to simply a mild allergy before our eyes by avoiding GMOs. This means reduced long term chances of stomach cancer as well.

We fear GMOs because we LOVE our children and we want to protect them. The fact is that your ideas may be good IDEAS, but they do not work. They are hurting people, especially children, and we have hundreds of testimonials telling us so. That is quantitative data last I checked.

As a mother I ask you and your fellow scientists to STOP promoting ANYTHING that has any possibility of harm to our children immediately and START testing the connection between GMO foreign proteins, Glyphosate sprayed on GMOs (which breaks down the blood brain barrier, impairs the liver's ability to detox, and destroys the beneficial gut bacteria which comprises 70% of our children's immune system*) in conjunction with the environmental toxins our children are now exposed to. Glyphosate breaks down the blood brain barrier and lets toxins like pesticides, herbicides, vaccine toxins, pollution etc. into our children's brain and bodies.

1out of 2 children are projected to get Autism in the next 20 years if the current trend continues. Do you want to go down in history as being partially responsible for this? Our will you take responsibility, take precaution, and stop and test? If you did , THAT would be worthy of a prize.

Mother of Three, 

Zen honeycutt

An Open Letter to Hugh Grant, Monsanto Board Members, and Staff

Moms Across America are writing you because we have seen the health of our children improve when we remove genetically modified, or GM foods, from their diets. We know what scientists SAY, but we ask you to consider what Moms are SEEING.

• We see that our children fare worse health-wise than children from other countries. The difference is that 80% of our food contains genetically modified organisms (GMOs). (1)

 • Today, 1 out of 3 American children are overweight or obese since GMOs have been introduced. (2)

 • 1 out of 3 American children now have Allergies, Autism/ADHD, Asthma or Auto Immune Disorders. (3).

 • We Moms see firsthand that when we take our children off GMOs, and feed them organic food, their symptoms either disappear or dramatically improve. (4)

 Do you or a staff member have a child with Autism? Do you know how difficult life is for that family? Do you see that the future and potential of an entire generation of children is being stolen from them because of the impact to their health from GMOs? Have you seen a child with a rash? Did you know that a rash on the outside of the body means inflammation in the stomach, which can lead to stomach cancer?

 We know your intentions were to feed the world. But countries around the world have rejected GM food.

We know your intention in putting insecticides INTO the food we eat was to reduce the quantity of insecticides sprayed ON the food we eat. We ask you to acknowledge that, despite this intention, pesticide use has in fact INCREASED and so have the health  problems of our children and our country.

 We know you want to help the world. We ask you to have the courage to acknowledge that GM practices and Roundup® are hurting our world. We have seen the recent and new scientific studies on the impact of GMOs and Glyphosate (5a) with links to autism, Alzheimers, food allergies, liver cancer, IBS, breast cancer in humans (6) and possibly mental  illness (5b) and we have witnessed the results firsthand in our kids. (7)

We have seen the scientific study showing  birth defects, miscarriages in pigs who ate GMO feed(8). And we personally have experienced far too many miscarriages and rise in struggles with infertility. We love our children, and want them to be healthy and to be able to have their own kids some day. Please stop and consider our plea.

The auto industry issues a recall when their product is suspected of causing harm. We ask you to recall Roundup® and cease GMO seed production until the consumption and long-term use of such products are proven safe.

It takes a big person to make a global company. It takes an even BIGGER person to admit things aren’t working they way you intended and change course.

 We Moms know your Mom would be proud of you if you put the health of the nation first and stopped selling GMO seeds and spraying Glyphosate (Roundup®) and other harsher pesticides.

From,

Mamás en toda América

Moms Across America: junio 28, 2013

Moms Across America unite in raising GMO awareness with a range of events planned throughout the

United States on julio 4, 2013.

Visit their website to find an event near your location at www.momsacrossamerica.com.

 Press Contact Specified:Zen Honeycutt [email protected]

Moms Across America are OUTRAGED at the callousness of our government to pass the Monsanto Protection Act with no thought for our children and citizens of America. This is a sad time for many Moms who supported Obama. It is unfathomable to us that Michelle, who has spoken up about organic gardening and children's health would also tolerate her husband's choice. Our President, Congress and Senate have given immunity from law to a company from being held accountable for any harm that comes to people or the planet from their toxic chemicals. What happened to integrity in America?

They also gave Monsanto the ability to plant any kind of GMO seeds they want to. And no court, the exact wording is "nothing shall override" them. We know now that Monsanto was part of drafting this new rider and that our government is really not for the people and by the people but is, officially, a Corporatocracy. I did not want to admit this for a long time and I try to stay out of politics because I want Moms of all parties to feel welcome to join our united cause. But this is political too and I need to voice for Moms every where, that we have lost faith in our government this week. We have lost faith in the future if left in the hands of those who control Big Pharmaceutical, Bayer, Astra Seneca and Phizer Pharmaceutical -parent company of Monsanto, who make the pesticides and herbicides AND the drugs to make us feel better,  and Big Agriculture (the same companies + DuPont). We have lost faith in a system that we put into place a couple hundred years ago and really see no way out of in the near future.

So what do we do? Hide and cry? No. When a Mom senses her child is at risk, which they are...their health issues like allergies, autism and auto immune diseases have been skyrocketing, we research more and we take action.  A new article on bi polar disorders in our children shows a 456% increase since GMOs were introduced. The same symptoms, unrest, discontent, sudden outburts of aggression and inability to focus, have all be shown in pigs who eat GMO feed as well. As Moms with common sense we are OUTRAGED that food is hurting our kids and  the one thing we see we can do to take action is put the largest distributor of GMO food on NOTICE that we will not be buying anything from their store until they label GMOs and have GMO free options- WALMART.

We must take action with the greatest tool we have which is money and the greatest power we have which is our love. If you share this notice with 10 people and they share it with 5 and they share with 5 and those people share with 5 you will be responsible for 1270 people promising not to shop at Walmart. At $200 dollars a week X 52 weeks a year, that equals

$13 MILLION 208 THOUSAND dollars that you personally will cause NOT to go to the biggest distributor of GMO Foods.

Can you do that? 

Here are the comments below from the moms who have signed the notice.

Please sign and share today.
