*[Enwl-eng] Glyphosate causes leukemia

[ecology]

                        A new peer-reviewed study shows that glyphosate 
weedkiller can cause leukemia and other deadly cancers.

                        No more excuses.

                        Tell every government to BAN glyphosate, and make 
Bayer-Monsanto pay for its toxic legacy.

            Glyphosate causes cancer -- even at exposure levels that 
authorities consider safe. That's the conclusion of a scientific study 
that's just been published in the peer-reviewed journal Environmental 
Health.

            This is the world's most comprehensive independent animal study 
ever conducted on glyphosate, the world's most-used weedkiller chemical.

            But the science isn’t enough. Our governments will ignore this 
new study if we let them, and won’t dare to confront the chemical industry 
lobby unless we show them that’s what we demand:

            Tell every government on Earth to ban glyphosate – and let’s 
make Bayer-Monsanto pay for its toxic legacy!

            The UN’s top cancer experts already warned us back in 2015: 
glyphosate causes cancer in lab animals.

            This comprehensive new study, led by the Ramazzini Institute in 
Italy, goes even further though, showing that long-term exposure – even at 
low levels equivalent to the EU’s Acceptable Daily Intake (ADI) – causes 
early-onset leukemia in rats.

            So glyphosate spin doctors can’t even say “the dose makes the 
poison” anymore to dismiss glyphosate cancer concerns. No more excuses.

            Some governments have restricted glyphosate and glyphosate-based 
weedkillers – but it’s time for total bans, and this landmark cancer study 
could help make that happen:

            Let’s tell our governments to ban glyphosate and make 
Bayer-Monsanto pay.

            Millions of Ekō members have reached across the world to resist 
Bayer-Monsanto and other agrochemical giants that pump out poison for 
profit. We very nearly won a full ban in the European Union last year, and 
we’re supporting a lawsuit to make that one right.

            What’s certain is that glyphosate’s days are numbered – but we 
must push to move our governments and get rid of this poison for good.
