Our EPA is Playing With Our Health

News you should know, courtesy of Moms Across America:

The EPA RAISED the glyphosate levels to unbelievable amounts. 

We know now that breast cancer cells proliferated upon the introduction of only parts per TRILLION of glyphosate ( see our blog  "Proof of GMO Harm"). 

We know that the chemicals in Agent Orange caused hundreds of thousands of birth defects and deaths.  

And yet the EPA has granted Monsanto's and Syngenta's requests to raise the levels of these and other chemicals by double, triple, quadruple and higher amounts in the parts per million. 

For example:  2-4 D and other chemicals have been increased in the feed crops that the animals we eat , eat: barley hay from 1.4 to 30 ppm and aspirated grains from 30 to 108 ppm.

Glyphosate levels were increasd in Sunflower seeds to  85 ppm,  Tea 5 ppm, Beans 5 ppm, Quinoa 5 ppm, Bananas .2 ppm, Sugar Beets 25 ppm, Dry Peas 8ppm, Pork 5 ppm etc. 

Birth defects in babies are a reported 4-8 X higher downstream from three orchard areas in Washington State that use heavy glyphosate sprays. See article here.

An International trade agreement called TPP ( Trans Pacific Partnership) could threaten everything we are working for by fast tracking ( and keeping secret) trade agreements between nations that could eliminate GMO labeling, allow corporation to sue countries for blocking sales of GMOs and force more sales of GMOs. Go to www.flushtheTPP.org to find out more and support the cause by hosting a Meet the Congress! event on Moms Across America website.
