Roundup Herbicide 125 Times More Toxic Than Regulators Say GreenMedInfo, April 2014

Based on study Major pesticides are more toxic to human cells than their declared active principles , published in the journal Biomedical Research International, which is attached at the bottom of this page.

Study looked at 9 major pesticides:

3 herbicides,
3 insecticides, and
3 fungicides.

Found that in EVERY CASE, the ‘’inactive’’ ingredients made the pesticide far more toxic to humans than its ‘’active’’ ingredients

The graphs of human cell survival for Roundup and Glyphosate

These are placental cells exposed for <24 hours. Researches noted that the toxicity is worse for longer time periods.

Key findings included:

On human cells, among the tested products, fungicides were the most toxicbeing cytotoxic from doses 300–600 times lower than agricultural dilutions,
- followed by herbicides (except Matin)
- and then insecticides.
In all cell types, fungicides were the most toxic (mean LC50 12ppm).
The herbicide Roundup (LC50 63ppm) was next in toxicity to fungicides,
- twice as toxic as Starane, and
- more than 10 times as toxic as the 3 insecticides, which represent the less toxic group (mean LC50 720ppm).

So, what about Roundup and Vitamin D

Roundup most likely stresses human cells

Vitamin D helps the body deal with stresses.
