GMOs and Herbicides
Over 90 percent of soy produced in the United States is genetically modified, meaning that the crop carries an herbicide-resistant gene that allows vast fields to be sprayed with herbicides (weed killer) that kill the weeds, but not the soybeans (which we then consume complete with the herbicide). Specifically, soybean crops are sprayed with glyphosate, the active ingredient in Roundup, which may be associated with adverse effects on health. There is a lot of disagreement related to using glyphosate. Some research claims itâs safe in the quantities used, while other studies show that itâs harmful to human health. Studies showing safety are usually done by the herbicide companies themselves, so they have a financial interest to see that their products are viewed as safe. Meanwhile, a few independent studies that are not receiving funding from these companies show that there could be side effects like cancer, neurodegenerative diseases, such as Parkinsonâs and Alzheimerâs disease, and reproductive issues. It is important to have more independent research to clarify the issue.
