Prevalence and incidence data show correlations between diseases of
the organs and the increase in Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs) in
the food supply, along with the increase in Glyphosate based herbicide
application . More and more studies have revealed carcinogenic and
endocrine disrupting effects of Roundup at lower doses than those
authorized for residues found in Genetically Modified Organisms.
The endocrine system controls the body’s chemical messages through
hormones. Hormones are secreted directly into the blood by the endocrine
glands: pineal, hypothalmus, pituitary, adrenal, thyroid, thymus,
pancreas, ovaries and testes. The glands release carefully measured
amounts of chemicals into the bloodstream to regulate important
functions including growth and development, reproduction, healthy
weight, mood and organ performance. An endocrine disruptor is a chemical
that either mimics or blocks hormones and disrupts the body’s normal
functions. This disruption can happen through altering normal hormone
levels, halting or stimulating the production of hormones, or
interacting directly with the organ the hormone was meant to regulate.
Because hormones work at very small doses, endocrine disruption can
occur from
low-dose exposure to hormonally active chemicals. Low doses over long periods of time may lead to very serious illnesses.
