Glyphosate Weed Killer Benefits Soil Fungus
Editors, Progressive Farmer -- Wednesday, January 03,
2001
A significantly higher incidence of Fusarium has been recorded on the roots
of Roundup Ready soybeans during four years of research,
according to scientists at the University of Missouri
(MU) at Columbia.
"Experiments conducted in 1997 through 2000 at two Missouri locations revealed
that Roundup Ready soybeans receiving glyphosate
at recommended rates had significantly higher incidence
of Fusarium on roots within one week of application compared with" soybeans
that did not receive glyphosate, reports Pat Donald,
research assistant professor and director of the MU nematology lab. In
the
glyphosate-treated fields at research farms near Portageville
and Columbia, scientists detected "major colonization by several distinct
types of the fungus." Although soil Fusarium populations
varied among locations, glyphosate significantly increased numbers at each
location", including the Fusarium that causes SDS (sudden
death syndrome).
This is an part of the full article
ALSO
Be advised that Glufosinate-ammonium, the other HR herbicide,
stimulates several harmful fungi and has a negative effect on at least
one beneficial fungus. Glufosinate ammonium also has a strong effect on
bacteria, killing some 40% of soilbacteria. Therefore Gluf.
amm. resistant varieties may require more input of fungicides.

In November, Health Canada advised parents to throw out
all soft vinyl toys and teethers because a phthalate chemical, d-isonyl

all diagnosed with premature thelarche. ...
Figure 1. Twenty-three-month-old Puerto Rican girl with
premature breast development (thelarche). ...
Since 1979, pediatric endocrinologists in Puerto Rico
have detected an alarming increase in the number of patients with premature
thelarche (4,5). ...
In 1987, the Puerto Rico Department of Health created
by law the Premature Thelarche and Early Sexual Development (PTESD) Registry
in response to the observed increase in cases (9). This is the only world
registry created for the study of premature sexual development in a human
population. ...
In the last decade, there has been a growing interest
and concern for the study of the impact of man-made chemicals on wildlife
and humans. These studies have suggested that synthetic and naturally occurring
substances in the environment may affect the normal function of the endocrine
system. These substances are also referred to as endocrine-disrupting chemicals
(EDCs). In wildlife, alterations in sexual reproductive behavior have been
observed in areas of contamination with EDCs. For example, malformations
in the sexual organs of alligators have been reported in Lake Apopka, Florida,
where high concentrations of DDT and its degradation products have been
detected (12,13), and feminization of trout in the Great Lakes has been
associated with the high levels of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in
water samples (14). Other studies have indicated that many chemicals, including
phthalate esters, may affect development and reproduction, including germ
cells, sperm motility, chryptorchidism, and hypospadias, in laboratory
animals (15-19).

In Unusual Letter, FDA Experts Lay Out Concerns
Researchers Daniel Doerge and Daniel Sheehan, two of the Food and Drug
Administration’s experts on soy, signed a letter of protest, which points
to studies that show a link between soy and health problems in certain
animals. The two say they tried in vain to stop the FDA approval of soy
because it could be misinterpreted as a broader general endorsement beyond
benefits for the heart.
We are writing in reference
to Docket # 98P-0683; “Food Labeling: Health Claims; Soy Protein
and Coronary Heart Disease.” We oppose this health claim because there
is abundant evidence that some of the isoflavones found in soy, including
genistein and equol, a metabolize of daidzen, demonstrate toxicity in estrogen
sensitive tissues and in the thyroid. ...
Additionally, isoflavones are inhibitors
of the thyroid peroxidase which makes T3 and T4. Inhibition can be expected
to generate thyroid abnormalities, including goiter and autoimmune thyroiditis.

All male fish sampled in the River Aire
in Yorkshire show signs of feminisation - and "gender-bending" chemicals
in the water could be to blame, scientists said yesterday.
Alan Pickering, director of
the centre for ecology and hydrology at Windermere in Cumbria, told the
science festival that a survey of some other rivers in Britain could show
similar results. In some cases the endocrine-disrupting chemicals which
seemed to behave like female hormones came from industrial detergents.
Others were natural hormones, from human waste,
"reactivated" by microbes in the sewage treatment system.
Fish had similar endocrine systems to humans and
male fish were showing responses to the chemicals.
Fish were showing similar changes in France, Switzerland,
Belgium, Germany and Finland.

The
entire male fish population of some European rivers show feminising effects
from so-called "gender-bending" chemicals, according to new research.
Freshwater
fish in five out of seven northern European countries surveyed so far showed
some signs of exposure to the chemicals, which mimic female hormones and
are present in sewage effluents. "We are finding this problem right across
northern Europe, it is clearly widespread," Professor Alan Pickering of
the Natural Environment Research Council's Centre for Ecology and Hydrology,
UK, said...Symptoms of exposure to the chemicals, known as endocrine-disrupters,
ranged from relatively minor effects to, in the worst cases, fish developing
both male and female reproductive organs. In some places, such as
the River Aire, Yorkshire, UK, 100% of male fish were found to show evidence
of feminization...This has raised concern that predators that eat the fish,
such as otters and kingfishers, could also be at risk.

is likely to be high levels of pollutants, including polychlorinated biphenyls

hormone levels, causing them to grow penis-like stumps. The researchers

"Does Your Shampoo APE Hormones?."
http://www.rfu.org/ws86.htm
There's a good chance you're cleaning your hair
with an APE—an AlkylPhenol Ethoxylate—and it may not
be as biodegradable as you think it is.
We all try to be careful about pouring hazardous waste
down sinks, toilets and storm drains. But we may not be quite as vigilant
about the contents of our bath or shower water.
Alkylphenol ethoxylates (APEs) are chemicals found in
many industrial and consumer products. Most often they are used as surfactants
(surface active agents, better known as detergents), in everything from
hair dyes to pesticides. Some are also used in contraceptive products.
Surfactants are synthetic chemicals which can cut through
grease. They are the key ingredient in almost all water-based cleaners.
Surfactants are usually fairly large molecules; the water-soluble end of
an APE is called the ethoxylate chain. The oil-soluble end is called the
alkyl chain and is made up of a string of carbon atoms. If there are nine
carbons, the structure is called nonyl, and the compound is a nonylphenol
ethoxylate (NPE).

Surfactants are bad for fish and other aquatic life.
As they are used in products which are quickly poured away, it is important
that they biodegrade before they reach lakes, streams or oceans. However,
as is the case with APEs, some ingredients break down very slowly or form
other compounds which do not break down at all.
For example, a typical NPE breaks down by shedding
the water-soluble ethoxylate end of its chain to form nonylphenol, a compound
which stays in the environment much longer than the original and is more
toxic to fish.
It has recently been discovered that nonylphenol and
octylphenol affect the endocrine system of birds, fish and mammals, including
humans. The endocrine system consists of a variety of glands which secrete
hormones such as testosterone, estrogen and adrenaline. Researchers have
found that octylphenol and octylphenol ethoxylate caused decreases in testicular
size and sperm production in male rats. These results are worrisome, because
they show effects of alkylphenols on target cells in mammals, raising the
concern of possible human health effects.
More than 80 percent of APEs used are NPEs, widely utilized
in household and institutional cleaning products for over 40 years.
A major reason for using APEs is their low cost. APEs
are very effective and inexpensive compared to other surfactants, which
is why they are often used in generic and private label products. Alternatives
exist for virtually every use of APEs. Many alternatives have already
been screened and to date only alkyl phenols have shown estrogenic activity.
Identifying APEs in personal care products is relatively
easy as these products have all ingredients listed on their label. The
lists of ingredients are often long and contain tongue-twisting names,
but it is possible to scan them for APEs, most commonly referred to as
octoxynol or nonoxynol.
Household cleaning products seldom list all ingredients.
Surfactants are often identified by generic terms such as "nonionic surfactant"
or "cleaning agent." Ask manufacturers if their products contain alkylphenol
ethoxylates.

Agent Orange to Terminator Seeds
By Delores Broten
http://www.rfu.org/ws86.htm
The latest
issue of the respected British magazine The Ecologist reads like a case
file for the Environmental Nuremberg trial of one of the world's largest
corporations. Monsanto has been a supplier of "better living through chemistry"
for almost a hundred years. The company took its first steps before World
War I as a manufacturer of saccharin, and then industrial chemicals like
sulphuric acid. But there are other Monsanto flagship products which the
world will long remember. Over the years, from PCBs to the dioxin-contaminated
2,4 D and 3,4,5-T in Agent Orange, from Roundup to genetic engineering,
Monsanto has "been there, done that."
Monsanto's
Bovine Growth Hormone (also known as BST) is enhancing the milk production
of cows throughout the USA, with what critics contend are unknown consequences
to human health. What is known, because the label says so, is that cows
can suffer many infections and other problems as a result of the burden
from hormonally-forced extra production. As we go to press, Health Canada's
scientists are testifying to a Senate Committee about the lack of raw data
and the need for more research before BGH is allowed in Canada. Parliament
Hill is also echoing with rumours of paper-shredding, and complaints from
the scientists about pressure from senior bureaucrats to serve the corporate
clients. Canadian citizens have been vociferously resisting the corporation's
attempts to force-feed this extra hormone into the dairy supply for years.
The US, incidentally, is, to date, the only country in the world to approve
the uninhibited use of BGH

abstract: Sea Sickness.(pollution, algae blooms, and climate change affect

Nor is bleaching the only threat to corals. Increasingly,
Cervino points out, these colonies are also exhibiting infections, tumors,
and "obscure" lesions.
"We've been going to photos of corals from as far back
as the 1930s," he says, and find no sign of many of these diseases.
Over the past
15 years, for instance, "there has been a very striking increase in the
frequency and extent of harmful algal blooms," notes JoAnn M. Burkholder,
an aquatic botanist at North Carolina State University in Raleigh.
HEED's data
now link many of these blooms of poison-producing algae to pollution (SN:
9/27/97, . 202) and a widespread warming of coastal and shallow waters.
Moreover, Burkholder observes, HEED's data suggest that the ecological
impacts of these blooms are more pervasive than most biologists had realized.
Until recently, scientists typically investigated marine disease outbreaks
as isolated incidents. The idea that some might be linked struck Epstein
when he began ruminating about a host of events in 1987.

The dangerous consequences of factory farming are being
felt all across the country
BY ANDREW NIKIFORUK
Long after
the dead have been buried in Walkerton, Ont., rural Canadians who
rely on groundwater will continue to feel and smell the impact of
a largely unreported revolution: the growth of
factory farms. This new industry, or what governments call "intensive
livestock operations," has
unsettled farm communities from New Brunswick to
Alberta. Unlike the family enterprises of old, which proudly cared
for 20 pigs or 60 cattle,
these new facilities operate on an entirely different
and largely unregulated scale.
In addition,
the world's key pork producers, Taiwan and Holland, recently pushed
production into the danger zone, causing severe water pollution
and animal disease outbreaks. But their environmental
disasters have had an effect here: hog barns managed by Europeans
or funded by Asian
investors are popping up all over the country.
US FARM
SUBSIDES FAVOUR LARGE CORPORATE FARMS
by Chakravarthi Raghavan
http://www.twnside.org.sg/title/favour.htm
Geneva, 8 May 2000 -- Farm subsidies
paid out in the United States over the period 1996 to 1998,
amounted to $ 22.856 billion, a new study by a
Washington-based non-profit environmental research
organization shows.
And more than 60% of these federal
farm subsidies under the Freedom to Farm Act of 1996 went to
the top 10% of farmers and landowners or an average
of $100,000 each, while the bottom 90% of the
farmers got just $6900 for the three years.
The study, "Green Acre$: How
taxpayers are Subsidizing the Demise of the Family Farm," is by the
Environmental Working Group and can be found on
their website: <www.ewg.org>. The study covers
payments under four headings under the 1996 'Freedom

the Freedom to Farm contracts, the Market Loss
Assistance, the Loan Deficiency and Market Gains.

Texas Leads United States in Animal Farm Wastes
By Cat Lazaroff WASHINGTON, DC, May 19, 2000 (ENS)
http://ens.lycos.com/ens/may2000/2000L-05-19-07.html-
Texas produces more animal waste than any other state and is creating a
public health and pollution hazard, concludes a new report released Thursday
by the Sierra Club and Consumers Union Southwest Regional Office. Unlike
many other livestock producing states, Texas provides little oversight
or regulation of these facilities, the report finds.
Texas livestock operations produce more wastes than those of any other
state (Photo courtesy USDA)
"Animal Factories: Pollution and Health Threats to Rural Texas," shows
that Texas produces about 220 billion pounds of animal wastes each year,
and this number is rising. Current estimates show that Texas is producing
280 billion pounds or 40 pounds of manure per Texas resident per day.
"We already knew that Texas leads the nation in toxic air pollution from
manufacturing industries, and now we have the dubious honor of holding
the number one spot in manure production," said Ken Kramer, director of
the Lone Star Chapter of the Sierra Club in Texas.
California holds the number two spot in manure production, but produces
only half of the amount - 110 billion pounds of waste - that Texas does.
Californians Hear About Governor Bush's Toxic Record in Sierra Club
TV Ads Highlighting Bush Ties to Polluters

(SACRAMENTO, California and AUSTIN,
Texas)-- The Sierra Club today launched its first California TV ads in
2000, highlighting Texas Governor George Bush's failure to protect Texans
from pollution and noting that he has received "more than a million dollars
in campaign contributions from Texas's worst air polluters." The ads are
designed to educate Californians about Bush's record, and to encourage
them to ask the Governor to clean up the mess in Texas.
"Air pollution in Texas got worse
over the last five years, and Governor Bush has done little to solve this
crisis," said Carl Pope, Sierra Club's Executive Director. "Thousands of
Texas children continue to have their health threatened by the worst air
pollution in the country. That's why we are running these ads to call on
Governor Bush to take concrete, comprehensive steps to attack the pollution
crisis in Texas."
Pollution problems plague Texas, but
Gov. Bush has dismissed complaints, attempting to confuse the issue by
taking credit for pollution cuts achieved by his predecessor and those
mandated by federal law. In fact, despite requirements in the federal Clean
Air Act -- and despite the opportunities provided by the state's enormous
amounts of air and water pollution -- Texas has curbed pollution at a slower
rate than the rest of the nation.

the
Ozone Layer, which first required controls on the world's
consumption of ozone depleting substances. Over 160 countries have
signed on to the Protocol, whose phasedown schedule for
developed countries was accelerated twice and completely phased out
Halon production at the end of 1994 and CFC production
at the end of 1995.
The Protocol's coverage has also been
extended to include hydrochlorofluorocarbons and other chlorine- and bromine-containing
substances such as some solvents and methyl bromide,
a widely used soil fumigant.
At their meeting in Vienna (December
1995), the Parties agreed to phase down the use of HCFCs in developing
countries and to
phase out production of methyl bromide in developed countries
by 2010, to cap its production in developing countries in 2002.
In 1997, the methyl bromide deadline for developed countries
was advanced to 2005, and a developing country deadline was set
at 2015. The 105th Congress enacted an amendment in October
1998 to adjust phaseout of methyl bromide to 2005.

Canola and the myelin sheath

cancer), moods,
depression, suicide, anger, rage and violence. I do not
have an opinion on microwaves but these studies
seem to show something could be happening to people that

It would seem that these people could also be knowledgeable
enough to be health conscious, if
they are health conscious and use Canola Oil which is
a known to cause neurological problems - it strips the myelin sheath off
of the (neuron's) axon. Brain cells are known as axons, and stripping the

sheath off of them causes them to short circuit as well
as the potential of other problems. Other items

as a poisonous plant with toxic effects which
include pulmonary emphysema, respiratory
distress, anemia, constipation, irritability and blindness in cattle.

to fruits and vegetables. These were
both fresh and processed. This
compares to 9 percent for beef, 7 percent for pork, 3 percent for chicken

So fruits and vegetables are just as likely to cause a food-borne illness

//Resolved\\ , That the House agree
to the amendment of the Senate to the bill (H.R. 2204) entitled
"An Act to authorize appropriations for fiscal years
1998 and 1999 for the Coast Guard,
and for other purposes", with the following
AMENDMENT:
In lieu of the matter proposed to be inserted by the Senate amendment,
insert the following:
/!SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.!\
//This Act may be cited as the "Coast Guard Authorization Act of 1998".\\

NATIONAL ASSESSMENT OF HARMFUL ALGAL BLOOMS

THE NATIONAL SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY COUNCIL
COMMITTEE ON ENVIRONMENT AND NATURAL RESOURCES
TASK FORCE ON HARMFUL ALGAL BLOOMS AND HYPOXIA
DRAFT June 1999 http://www.habhrca.noaa.gov/habdraft.html
Typically, shellfish are only marginally affected,
even though a single clam can sometimes
accumulate sufficient toxin to kill a human. Shellfish poisoning syndromes
have been
given the names paralytic (PSP), diarrhetic (DSP), neurotoxic (NSP), and
amnesic (ASP)
on the basis of descriptive human symptoms.
Pfiesteria and related toxic species produce as
yet unidentified toxins that have been implicated
in temporary short-term losses of neurocognitive abilities (short-term
memory) in Maryland
residents exposed to water or aerosol containing the organism.
Harmful cyanobacterial blooms (HCBs) are indicative of
excessive nutrient loading in oligohaline
estuarine waters. Excessive growths of Anabaena, Aphanizomenon, and Microcystis,
can lead
to harmful HCBs that exhibit severe neuro, cyto and hepatotoxicity in a
variety of mammals
(e.g., humans and farm animals), birds, fish and invertebrates (e.g., zooplankton).
HCBs are
national economic and environmental threats that have occurred in large
estuarine systems
(e.g., Chesapeake Bay, Albemarle-Pamlico Sound and Florida Bay) and the
Great Lakes. For
example, a persistent algal bloom dominated by a new HCB species, Synechococcus
elongatus,
appeared in 1991 in mid-north central Florida Bay, spread to central and
western areas, and
persists more or less to this day.

1878-1958 Watson, John B. - Also in researching the basic
attitudes of America from that time p. 669 of The American Nation and p.
253 of Psychology by
Carole Wade and Carol Tavris.
These pages talk about John Watson who was a Behaviorist, a president of
the American Psychological Association and a
vice-president of the J. Walter Thompaon
advertising agency at different times of his life. He wrote The Psychological
Care of Infant and Child (1928)
"Never hug and kiss them, never let
them sit in your lap. If you must, kiss them once on the forehead
when they say good night."

Freud (1856-1939) was given over.

1870-1914 The Germans and the Jews both had a devotion
to learning. "From it's inception in 1933, for instance, Germany
won more Nobel prizes than any other country, about 30 per cent of the
whole; but of Germany's share, the Jews provided nearly a third and in
medicine a half. For Germany to turn on the Jews was not just mass
murder; it was, in a real sense, mass parricide."
How did it happen?"
"After November 1938, Jews were expelled from all schools,
and trains, waiting-rooms and restaurants were segregated."
(Johnson p.488)
" IG Farben and the Deutscher Bank swallowed up
the Osterreichische Kreditanstalt and its industrial subsidiaries, after
one of its top;men was taken for a ride by the SA and thrown from a moving
car, and another kicked to death by the SA during a search of his house.
Baron Louis Rothschild was arrested by the police and held as a hostage
until the famiuly agreed to be dispossessed of their property at a knowck-down
price. Afterwards the Dresdner Bank wrote to Himmler's chief of stazff
thanking the police for help in bringing down the price." (Johnson
p.487).
