8-10 NWR Glyphosate Poisoning

We've told you about Zen Honeycutt, President of Moms Across America and her claims that Roundup and glyphosate can be found in the bodies of almost everybody in America. "I truly appreciate that you are trying to grow food the best way you know how with the best tools that you have and I simply believe that you have been lied to about the health impacts of these chemicals for many many years. I urge you to all look at the studies which do show harm and then to ask yourself which side of history do you want to be on. I understand that you want to believe these so-called safety studies that show that GMO's and glyphosate are not harmful but the fact is these are the same people who made DDT and PCB's and agent orange and who just want to make money. They simply have marketed in a way that made it very appealing to use."

I asked Dr. Don Morishita, University of Idaho weed scientist about this accusation. "If your body does take in glyphosate it excretes it in your urine, it is not something that builds up in your body very easily.

Elsewhere and in another conflicting story line, my northwest.com reports that what was originally reported as a magnitude-2.6 earthquake near Tacoma was downgraded to a 1.8.The Pacific Northwest Seismic Network reports the quake was located near I-5 and State Route 18, between Lakeland North and Lakeland South. But in a related story, A major earthquake may hit the Pacific Northwest sooner than scientists originally thought.

New research, published in the journal Marine Geology this week, about the Cascadia Subduction Zone has prompted earthquake experts to re-think the potential timeline and shows that major earthquakes happen more frequently than first thought.
