Ladies: Study Says You Might Be Putting Glyphosate-Tainted Tampons in Your Vagina "I admit I chose this title on purpose to catch your attention, but now that I have it, have you ever considered that the majority of cotton (in the U.S. anyway) is genetically modified, and as such, it might be tainted with cancer-causing, endocrine-disrupting, infertility-promoting glyphosate?
Well, a new study at the University of La Plata found just that: 85% of cotton products like gauze, cotton balls, swabs, pads, wipes, etc. tested positive for glyphosate. Another 62% tested positive for its environmental metabolite AMPA, which has been found to potentially be 1,000 times more toxic in the body. Gauze samples tested positive 100% of the time.
Let's get down to brass tacks, as they say. While all of these things are used on places like cuts, or to clean your ears or even wipe your baby's bottom, when it comes to feminine "protection" products, they are placed in a highly sensitive mucous membrane area near a woman's cervix and her reproductive organs for hours at a time. How often is a potentially harmful chemical seeping into your body this way, ladies?
And we wonder why infertility is on the rise in this country. Unless these products explicitly state they are made from organic cotton, it's a safe bet to assume they are genetically modified. Because over 90% of the cotton here is GMO, if this study is any indication, its very likely tainted with glyphosate!
It's such a common sense connection, and yet, until I read about this study, I will admit to you I hadn't really considered it. The study also found that 90% of the residents tested positive for glyphosate in their urine even though none of the people tested had direct contact with Roundup products.
Of course, you'll probably never hear about this in the media here, in the country where corporations and lobbyists run everything and where Monsanto, whose #1 best-selling product Roundup with the key ingredient glyphosate, has its world headquarters stationed...

Glyphosate poisoningThey found glyphosate in cotton, gauze, swabs, wipes and pads of La Plata"The study was conducted by researchers at the University of La Plata (UNLP). Another study found the presence of the herbicide in the urine of 90% of the residents of Mar del Plata
"85 percent of all samples tested positive for glyphosate and 62 percent for AMPA, which is the environmental metabolite, but in the case of cotton and gauze the figure was one hundred percent, "he told the Telam agency on Dr. Damian Marino, one of the members of the Socio-Environmental Interaction Multidisciplinary Space (EMISA) UNLP who conducted the research.

In July another study found glyphosate in the urine of 90% of the inhabitants of Buenos Aires district of General Pueyrredón, including the residents of Mar del Plata was known. "We did a test with urine samples from people living in urban areas and others are in rural areas, thinking that we would find different results and did not happen: the two populations had glyphosate or its metabolite, ie what is generated in the body when the glyphosate is metabolized, "said Silvana Buján concerning the Bios Civil Association, author of the study.
What caught the attention of researchers is that none of the citizens who participated in the study had had direct contact with glyphosate. "This outcome was a revelation to us, we began to research and what we found is that most of our processed foods contain some soy either lecithin, flour or protein. Moreover, water and soil, while not sprayed with glyphosate, which are by rain, "said Buján.
