Glyphosate is “definitely genotoxic”, says Prof Chris Portier, a co-author of the report by the World Health Organisation’s cancer agency, which classed glyphosate as a probable carcinogen. “Genotoxic” means it damages DNA. It is widely believed by regulators that for genotoxic chemicals that are also carcinogenic, as glyphosate appears to be, there is no safe level of exposure.
Prof Portier was speaking today at a scientific briefing in London organised by the Soil Association. The Soil Association is calling for a UK ban on the use of glyphosate sprayed on UK wheat as a pre-harvest weedkiller and its use to kill the crop to ripen it faster. New figures analysed by the Soil Association from government data were released at a scientific briefing in London on 15 July 2015. This revealed that glyphosate use in UK farming has increased by 400% in the last 20 years and it’s one of the three pesticides regularly found in routine testing of British bread – appearing in up to 30% of samples tested by the Defra committee on Pesticide Residues in Food (PRiF).
At the briefing, Dr Robin Mesnage of the Department of Medical and Molecular Genetics at Kings College in London presented data showing Roundup is 1,000 times more toxic than glyphosate alone. He said, “Glyphosate is everywhere throughout our food chain – in our food and water. The lack of data on toxicity of glyphosate is not proof of safety and these herbicides cannot be considered safe without proper testing. We know Roundup, the commercial name of glyphosate-based herbicides, contains many other chemicals, which when mixed together are 1,000 times more toxic than glyphosate on its own.”
Claire Robinson, an editor at GMWatch.org, said that the international response to the IARC finding had been dramatic: “Some retailers in Switzerland and Germany have removed glyphosate products from their shelves; France has committed to stop selling them to consumers via self-service by 2018. German states are calling for an EU wide ban. The Danish Working Environment Authority has declared glyphosate a carcinogen. El Salvador and Sri Lanka have banned it (due not to the IARC report but other studies linking it with kidney disease) and the Colombia government has banned aerial spraying of the herbicide on coca crops.”
Three months ago, the World Health Organisation’s International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), concluded, “Glyphosate is probably carcinogenic to humans”. The newly recognised dangers of glyphosate come against a background of increased use in the UK. Glyphosate is used in public parks and other urban areas to kill weeds. In the last year for which government figures are available, nearly a third of UK cereals, wheat and barley, were sprayed with glyphosate – a total of just over one million hectares.
Peter Melchett, Soil Association Policy Director, said; “If glyphosate ends up in bread it’s impossible for people to avoid it, unless they are eating organic. On the other hand, farmers could easily choose not to use glyphosate as a spray on wheat crops – just before they are harvested. This is why the Soil Association is calling for the immediate ending of the use of glyphosate sprays on wheat destined for use in bread.”
A recent European study on city dwellers found that in the UK, 7 out of 10 people had traces of this weedkiller in their urine. The food industry tells us that the levels of glyphosate in food poses no danger to the British public. But the findings from IARC, and the cocktail of chemicals often found in bread, call this into serious question.

GET READY! GET READY! GET READY! BE PREPARED, FOR THE EVIL DAYS ARE UPON YOU!
November 29, 2002
I gave MY Daughter the dream this day that she was poisoned and every time that you eat food MY Children you do not realize what you have taken in. The hormones that you ingest, the pestilence, so ask ME how to cleanse it and I will show you MY Children for the body is the Temple of the RUACH ha KODESH and it must be cleansed. You will find out that you will even hear from ME more easily. There is a war within your bodies, it is not just spiritual it is physical, for I not only cleanse your spirit, I not only cleanse your blood, I will wash the toxins out of your blood, out of your body, out of your bowels.
For what is coming MY Children, while you’re in this mortal body of flesh and blood you must be prepared, you must be strengthened, you must be healed, for sicknesses has come upon you that you know not. The air is poisoned and you know not. The food is poisoned and you know not. Because you have asked a blessing on the food that you eat and the drink that you drink I am faithful to show you what to do. Sometimes MY Children protection is not by MY supernatural hands but you must also partake of it in the physical realm. So cleanse your bodies MY Children just as you cleanse your spirit and your soul, prepare your bodies MY Children for there is yet a war coming untold.

Hang On! Hang On! Hang On! Do Not Lose Your Blessed Hope!
February 7, 2009
There are many ways to kill the children now, even poisoning their food, poisoning their toys. Be not deceived, the sons of satan call this population control. It’s all part of their plan as even the air you breath is poisoned full of death and destruction and disease. But ask the new world order, those in their secret society and if they were to tell you their secrets they would tell you it’s all about population control. Only the rich shall survive. The richest of the rich, but I am confounding the enemy. Those covered in MY Son’s shed Blood at Calvary, those who call out to YAHUSHUA MASHIACH. That blood is their immunity. Keep praying, keep asking, keep reminding ME to take MY vengeance on those who spread the poison in the sky and MY vengeance shall come on those who created these formulas of death, disease and destruction (and) the politicians who allow it.

“The HOLY TRINITY Needs to be Comforted Also!”
May 29, 2017
I give you a beautiful world. Now the skies are poison. The water is poison. The food is poison. You must pray over everything. Take nothing for granted. Even the very clothes you wear—you know not—chemicals have been placed there to kill you!
Now the rulers of this evil world of satan (Eph 6:12 etc)—when Adam fell this world fell into the hand of satan, and the satanic elite, the illuminati rose up and now all they say, “We must kill. There’s too great of a population.” And so they poison the skies and it’s called “chemtrails” and it’s meant so plagues will walk in.
That’s why I told you to memorize Psalm 91 as I told Elisheva in 2001. Repeat it each day. Claim it. Stand on it and also Psalm 23, hang on to it. Don’t let go! And the more you find ways to comfort US as WE see what they’ve done to this earth—as WE see what Monsanto has done, as WE see now they even make jewellery of the aborted foetuses and you know it not. You think you’re putting face cream on to restore your youth. You know it not and there, is blood of DNA.
