In reply to the discussion: 93% of Americans have glyphosate in their bodies - UC Cal [View all]womanofthehills
(10,256 posts)138. Do you know Roundup is only 40% glyphosate
It's 15 % POEA and other toxins
ROUNDUP IS MORE TOXIC THAN GLYPHOSATE -you never get pure glyphosate -
New Evidence About the Dangers of Monsantos Roundup -
Naming the Toxins
Some European governments have already begun taking action against one of these co-formulants, a chemical known as polyethoxylated tallowamine, or POEA, which is used in Monsantos Roundup Classic and Roundup Original formulations, among other weed killers, to aid in penetrating the waxy surface of plants.

Germany removed all herbicides containing POEA from the market in 2014, after a forestry worker who had been exposed to it developed toxic inflammation of the lungs. In early April, the French national health and safety agency known as ANSES took the first step toward banning products that combine glyphosate and POEA. A draft of the European Commissions reregistration report on glyphosate proposed banning POEA. In April, the European Parliament passed a non-binding resolution that supported the POEA ban and also suggested requiring member states to compile a list of other co-formulants to be banned from herbicides. The European Commissions final vote on glyphosates reregistration is expected later this month.

For the lawyers litigating the cases against Monsanto, the idea that POEA and the other ingredients contribute to the toxicity of Roundup is critical. Thats one of the central theories of our case, said David Wool, an attorney at Andrus Wagstaff, who is working on suits against Monsanto on behalf of four people who developed non-Hodgkin lymphoma after years of regularly using Roundup. Its not only that glyphosate is carcinogenic and dangerous, said Wool. Monsanto had every reason to know that, by including POEA, it increased the danger of all of these products.
