4 2,4-D RoundUp

6 Gene flow

7 Genetic pollution The bacterial transgenes can spread from transgenic crops to soil bacteria

8 Human volunteers fed engineered soybeans showed that engineered DNA resist digestion and is detectable in the intestine. There is lateral gene transfer to gut bacteria. Genetic pollution

10 In 1996 the toxicologists of the FDA predicted that engineered foods would contain rogue proteins that could be toxic, or cause allergies, nutritional deficiencies, and other diseases. Biotechnology 2004

11 Journal of Proteome Research 43 proteins in engineered corn plants were significantly disrupted, compared to non GE plants

12 Engineered corn, soybean and canola all have variant proteins, different from what the biotech Industry reports. Institute of Public Health, Brussels, Belgium.

13 Glyphosate is a chelating agent /broad spectrum herbicide

14 Glyphosate is a broad spectrum antibiotic many enzymes are impaired

15 Glyphosate Adjuvants How does it work ? Toxicity of the herbicide glyphosate to fish and aquatic invertebrates. Arch. Environ. Contam. Toxicol. Biochemical and histopathological effects of glyphosate on Cyprinus carpio L.

16 Glyphosate produces teratogenic effects on vertebrates Chemical Research in Toxicology

17 Glyphosate affects beneficial bacteria of poultry

18 Effects of Glyphosate on Hepatic and Intestinal activities in the Rat Clinical Pharmacology and Toxicology Glyphosate inhibits cytochrome P-450

19 Gastrointestinal disorders Kidney and liver damage Infertility Glyphosate inhibits cytochrome P-450
