This Spanish Institute of Environmental Assessment and Water Research study is one of the few works related to the analysis of glyphosate in real groundwater samples and the presented data confirm that, although it has low mobility in soils, glyphosate

Spanish Government Institute: Glyphosate is Capable of Reaching Groundwater
Dr Ozturk: Glyphosate Inhibits Ferric Reductase – Could Lead to Iron Deficiency
Iron (Fe) deficiency is increasingly being observed in cropping systems with frequent glyphosate applications. A likely reason for this is that glyphosate interferes with root uptake of Fe by inhibiting ferric reductase in roots required for Fe acquisition by

Birmingham City Hospital: Glyphosate Poisoning Can Lead to Death
This research from Birmingham City Hospital regarding Glyphosate shows that there is a reasonable correlation between the amount of Roundup ingested and the likelihood of serious systemic sequelae or death. Ingestion of >85 mL of the concentrated formulation is

Gilles-Eric Seralini: Roundup Causes Liver Cell Death
All the four Roundup formulations used in this University of Caen study provoked liver cell death, with adjuvants having stronger effects than glyphosate alone. (more…)
Dr Ismail Cakmak: Glyphosate May Result in Iron Impairment
Results from this Turkish Cukurova University study suggest that glyphosate residues or drift may result in severe impairments in Fe and Mn nutrition of nontarget plants, possibly due to the formation of poorly soluble glyphosate-metal complexes in plant tissues and/or rhizosphere interactions. (more…)
Gilles-Eric Seralini: BT Toxins are Toxic to Human Cells
Insecticidal Bt toxins such as those produced in genetically engineered plants can be detrimental to human cells. This is a result of recent research led by researchers at the University of Caen (France). Their experiments showed that toxins produced

Dr Rick A. Relyea: Highly Lethal Effects of Roundup on Amphibians
This Pittsburgh University study represents one of the most extensive experimental investigations of pesticide effects on aquatic communities and offers a comprehensive perspective on the impacts of pesticides when nontarget organisms are examined under ecologically relevant conditions. (more…)
Prof Andres Carrasco: Glyphosate Causes Birth Defects in Chickens, Frogs
This study, by a team led by Prof Andres Carrasco at Buenos Aires University , found that glyphosate and Roundup cause birth defects in frog and chicken embryos at extremely low doses. (more…)
Gilles-Eric Seralini: 3 GM Maize Varieties ‘Negatively Impact’ Organs
In the three GM maize varieties that formed the basis of this investigation, new side effects linked to the consumption of these cereals were revealed, which were sex- and often dose-dependent. Effects were mostly concentrated in kidney and liver

Gilles-Eric Seralini: Roundup Leads to Embryonic Cell Death
In this University of Caen study, for the first time, the toxicity mechanisms of four different Roundup formulations were studied in human cells. (more…)
