Get ready for a brand new threat from Agent Orange

Obama admin ready to add a double hidden poison to our food

If you remember the horrors of Agent Orange, then get ready for a double shock.

The EPA is all ready to approve a new, highly toxic weed killer for use on food crops. It’s one containing both glyphosate (Monsanto’s Roundup) and 2,4-D — half of what made up Agent Orange.

It’s a chemical assault the likes of which we’ve never been exposed to before.

And for the icing on the toxic cake, it’s coming with two new GM crops.

Despite over 200,000 comments to the EPA docket, over 100,000 other public comments and objections from scores of medical and health professionals, the Obama EPA refuses to budge.

Obviously, we can’t depend on that agency – or this president — to protect us.

So once again, we’re forced to take matters into our own hands. But once you know the facts, there is a way to steer clear of this new poison.

Just like the double-danger drugs I’ve been warning you about lately, this is a super-toxic, weed killing twofer. It’s been given the name “Enlist Duo.” And it’s made by Dow Chemical.

It’s was developed because Roundup use has backfired.

GM crops are created so that they don’t die when sprayed with Roundup – like the weeds do.

But nature always finds a way. And the weeds “learned” how to survive. So now we have Superweeds to deal with, ones that aren’t killed when doused with Roundup.

To kill these Superweeds they needed to build a bigger gun.

So when the USDA and the EPA give their final blessings to this deadly mix, it will “result in the largest expansion of an herbicide use in more than three decades,” experts say.

Remember, these aren’t just any weed-killing chemicals. Studies on rats fed GM corn sprayed with Roundup suffered serious health effects. Things like severe organ damage and deadly tumors.

And then there’s the second half of Enlist Duo, the Agent Orange chemical 2,4-D.

We know how it earned its reputation — by poisoning tons of our Vietnam vets. But now it’s ready to poison more of us, including our children and grandchildren.

Studies have connected 2,4-D to diseases like Parkinson’s, hypothyroidism, cancers and lowered immune function.

Mary Ellen Kustin, a senior policy analyst with The Environmental Working Group, which has been following this, said that “the Obama administration has not done the necessary scientific research” to know just what effects this will have on our health – and the environment.

She added that “The mountain of evidence linking 2,4-D with serious health problems in people, including cancer, should stop wholesale approval of the largest expansion of toxic herbicide spraying in decades.”

Now corn and soy will be the first two crops that Enlist Duo will be approved for. And they’ll be brand new GM crops too! They had to be specially “designed” in Dow’s laboratory to withstand both these deadly chemicals.

Remember, there are lots of ingredients made from corn and soy. Things like high fructose corn syrup or soybean oil. And some form or corn or soy is in almost every processed or baked food.

The good news here is that you don’t have to give up foods that contain these ingredients. One way is to buy organic products, which, by law, cannot contain any GMOs.

Another way to be sure you haven’t been “enlisted” without your permission in this experiment by Dow, is to only buy foods that contain corn or soy that has a label saying “Non GMO Project Certified.”

And most sweet corn, the kind you buy to eat on the cob (or frozen), is still safe from being genetically modified.

While this adds to the time and trouble spent in the supermarket, these are the things we need to do to protect ourselves.

Because you can be sure that neither the EPA, USDA nor anyone in the White House is going to do one darn thing to stop this latest chemical threat from becoming a horrible reality.
