Should the U.S. BAN glyphosate?
[[link removed]]

Friend,

BIG NEWS about glyphosate, the cancer-linked pesticide produced by Bayer-Monsanto.

According to a peer-reviewed scientific study, just one week of an organic diet reduced average levels of glyphosate in pregnant participants by 25 to 30 percent.

Increased levels of glyphosate in pregnant women have been shown to shorten pregnancy length and increase the risk of a baby having long-term health problems.

But there’s a big catch with the study results, friend – the organic diet only benefited participants who live far from agricultural fields. Those living near agricultural fields, highly likely to be sprayed with glyphosate, were not able to reduce their exposure to this pesticide, even when switching to eating organic.

The serious risks from increased exposure to glyphosate include:

1. Harm to fetal growth and development.
2. Harm to the kidneys.
3. Cancer, especially non-Hodgkin lymphoma.

Glyphosate is STILL the most widely used pesticide in the U.S. We need to take action to protect our communities from the terrible health risks associated with glyphosate exposure, especially those most vulnerable, like children and pregnant women.

Input from you can help us formulate our plans more effectively and show Big Ag that Americans don’t want glyphosate in their food. Can we count on you to show your support by completing our quick survey by midnight tonight?
