“Citing the “deep concerns” of U.S. farmers over Mexico’s impending ban on genetically modified corn, U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack said in a statement following a meeting with Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador: “”We must find a way forward soon.” Source: Reuters, November 29, 2022.
GMWatch: “GM soy is one of the most widely grown GM crops in the world and accounts for over 90% of US-grown soy. It is engineered to survive being sprayed with toxic glyphosate weedkiller. It is not known whether the adverse effects associated with the GM soy diet in either study was caused by the GM crop or the weedkiller, or both.”

Canada: genetisch gemanipuleerde koolzaad komt voor in wilde soorten
“Boeren uit de regio van Quebec hadden gemerkt dat koolzaadachtige planten die resistent zijn tegen het herbicide glyfosaat zich op hun velden verspreidden. Sommige planten zijn eigenlijk genetisch gemanipuleerde koolzaad. In Canada wordt al zo’n 25 jaar genetisch gemodificeerde, herbicide-resistente canola op grote schaal verbouwd, momenteel op zo’n 8,6 miljoen hectare. De vondsten in de velden in Quebec waren nog steeds verrassend, aangezien de betrokken boeren nog nooit koolzaad hadden verbouwd en er in de hele regio nauwelijks koolzaadteelt is.” Ga naar de paper.

Quote of abstract:
The introgression of transgenes conferring glyphosate resistance from Brassica napus (rapeseed, canola) to Brassica rapa weeds (bird rape) was documented at a single location in 2007. In 2015, several cases of glyphosate resistant mustard were reported by growers in areas where rapeseed was seldom grown.
GMWatch via Twitter: The research demonstrates, for the 1st time, that glyphosate successfully crosses the blood-brain barrier & infiltrates the brain. Taken together, the results demonstrate a correlation between #glyphosate exposure & classic symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease.
In a new study, Arizona State University Graduate Research Assisstant Joanna Winstone, Assistant Professor Ramon Velazquez and their colleagues at the Translational Genomics Research Institute explore the effects of glyphosate exposure on the brains of mice.
