Dead bodies piling up in the court rooms, resulting from a few lawsuits from brain tumors from aspartame or lymphomas from Roundup? Just call the bailiff and haul 'em off.
An occasional article appears that is usually written by someone of foreign extraction that obsequiously raises the question of how can we keep calling these diet products when no one loses weight and when the presence of aspartame has no effect on blood sugar. For example, this one today:
Is aspartame a safe alternative to sugar?
The whole picture is far beyond pathetic and is justifiably alarming to those readers who still have a few of their alarm bells connected. Most Americans do not qualify as being awake as consumers. I write about such things, and so do a few physicians, but many such physicians and activists are routinely dismissed as paranoids or as "internet junk scientists."
It is almost as if the press and the corporations behind the press want everyone to remain asleep, blissfully ignorant, and not alarmed, gently lulled into acquiescence with the stupid lullaby that all is well because the FDA is "there to protect us."
I believe that the FDA has become in part a corporate genocidal tool to control the population with neurotoxic food additives, to keep them quiet and to keep them going to their physicians when they get sick, much like the parent company of Bayer, I.G. Farben (which later became Bayer after the Holocaust), succeeded at keeping the Jews in the concentration camps quiet and controlled.
Count on all of this getting much worse, with the recent merger of Bayer and Monsanto, such that the universally-recognized-as-evil name Monsanto gets to vanish. The regulatory authorities in a dozen nations got on their high horse and pondered and pontificated as to whether this merger legally constituted a "monopoly" regarding the sale of pesticides. They decided it didn't in the European Union, only after the companies sold off a few companies under their aegis, then put up a $7 billion escrow payment, to be taken, if they were determined to be monopolistic, yet not a single question raised as to the HEALTH IMPLICATIONS of this merger.
Nobody, and I do mean no nation, seems to care.
Where is this all going? Damned if I know, nor can I say for sure. Nowhere good, that's for sure, yet there are signs here and there that the rest of the human race is not asleep at the wheel. With a special thanks to one of the most "tuned in," effective, and accurate law firms in the United States, the Los Angeles firm of Baum, Hedlund, Aristei & Goldman, I could immediately find annotations of which nations have done what to keep Roundup out of their nation. May this compilation lead individual consumers trying to avoid this poison, Roundup/Glyphosate, but may it also lead to a few other legal officials and private firms in other nations to take up the charge to protect consumers.
Many cities, counties, states and countries throughout the world have taken steps to either restrict or ban glyphosate, the active ingredient in Monsanto's Roundup weed killer. These nations have issued outright bans on glyphosate, imposed restrictions or have issued statements of intention to ban or restrict glyphosate-based herbicides, including Roundup, because of their profound health concerns and the ongoing Roundup cancer litigation:
Argentina: Over 30,000 health care professionals advocated for a glyphosate ban following the International Agency for Research on Cancer's (IARC) report on glyphosate, which concluded the chemical is probably carcinogenic to humans.
Australia: Numerous municipalities and school districts throughout the country are currently testing alternative herbicides in an effort to curtail or eliminate glyphosate use. Many use steam technology for weed control on streets and in other public areas.
Belgium: Banned the individual use of glyphosate. In 2017, Belgium voted against relicensing glyphosate in the EU. The country was also one of six EU member states to sign a letter to the EU Commission calling for "an exit plan for glyphosate--
Bermuda: Outlawed private and commercial sale of all glyphosate-based herbicides.
Brazil: A federal prosecutor requested that the Brazilian Justice Department outlaw the use of glyphosate out of concern the herbicide causes health problems.
