New Study Finds 41% Increase In Cancer Risk From Roundup's Glyphosate

A comprehensive analysis of glyphosate - the most widely used weed-killing chemical in the world - reveals that those with the highest exposures to the popular herbicide have a 41% increased risk of developing non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) cancer.

The meta-analysis of six studies containing nearly 65,000 participants also looked at links between glyphosate-based herbicides and immunosuppression, endocrine disruption and genetic alterations.

The study authors said their new meta-analysis evaluated all published human studies, including a 2018 updated government-funded study known as the Agricultural Health Study (AHS). Monsanto has cited the updated AHS study as proving that there is no tie between glyphosate and NHL. In conducting the new meta-analysis, the researchers said they focused on the highest exposed group in each study because those individuals would be most likely to have an elevated risk if in fact glyphosate herbicides cause NHL. -The Guardian

"Together, all of the meta-analyses conducted to date, including our own, consistently report the same key finding: exposure to GBHs are associated with an increased risk of NHL," concludes the report.

The study, which looks at both human and animal studies also suggests that glyphosate "alters the gut microbiome," which could "impact the immune system, promote chronic inflammation, and contribute to the susceptibility of invading pathogens."

Furthermore, glyphosate "may act as an endocrine disrupting chemical because it has been found recently to alter sex hormone production" in both male and female rats.

Lastly, the study looks at genetic alterations caused by glyphosates, noting that several studies show glyphosates inducing "single- and double-strand DNA breaks," oxidation, and other "genotoxicity" factors - though the researchers caution that this remains a controversial subject.

The findings by five US scientists contradict the US Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) assurances of safety over the weed killer and come as regulators in several countries consider limiting the use of glyphosate-based products in farming.

Monsanto and its German owner Bayer AG face more than 9,000 lawsuits in the US brought by people suffering from NHL who blame Monsanto’s glyphosate-based herbicides for their diseases. The first plaintiff to go to trial won a unanimous jury verdict against Monsanto in August, a verdict the company is appealing. The next trial, involving a separate plaintiff, is set to begin on 25 February , and several more trials are set for this year and into 2020. -The Guardian

Hill Leaders Try to Rush 1,159-Page Spending Bill Through Congress in 18 Hours

GOP staffers and activists are rushing to find the political landmines buried by Democrat and Republican legislators in the seven-agency, $328 billion, 1,159-page 2019 spending bill before the House and Senate vote on the bill by the end of Thursday.

One draft of the legislation was released late Wednesday night, and a second draft appeared Thursday morning with an extra ten pages. Those ten pages included an expansion of the H-2B visa worker program favored by many Republicans and some Democrats.

House leaders promised a quick vote on the huge and complex legislation Thursday night, leaving the activists with very little time to organize protests against the potential giveaways.

The Senate’s GOP leaders promised a faster vote early Thursday afternoon.

The document has roughly 200 words per page — ensuring that a fast reader would need 40 hours just to reach to the end of the huge document, providing they did not stop to take notes, compare the text to existing laws, eat, or sleep.

Republicans say they are being railroaded by House Democrats — and also by the GOP supporters of the huge package. Rep. Tom Graves is a GOP member of the 17-person committee — but he was given just 30 minutes to check the fine print.

The legislators who support the poison pills describe the pro-migration clauses as “Easter eggs.”

Enough Fentanyl to Kill 4M Americans Seized by Border Patrol in California

U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers seized 17.4 pounds of fentanyl during a vehicle inspection earlier this week in California. The incident resulted in the arrests of two American citizens for drug smuggling charges.

The case occurred on Tuesday when agents from Yuma Sector assigned to the Blythe Station contacted the male driver of a 2013 Dodge Journey at a designated immigration checkpoint on Highway 78 at approximately 5:30 pm. Agents referred the man, identified as a 29-year-old from Tolleson, Arizona, to a secondary inspection after a K-9 alerted to an odor, according to Border Patrol officials. The K-9 directed inspectors to a rear floor factory compartment where seven packages of suspected fentanyl were discovered. Agents say the weight came out to 17.48 pounds.

The driver had a previous conviction for transporting 22 pounds of cocaine. Both the Arizona man and his 32-year-old female passenger were charged with transportation of a controlled substance.

Fentanyl is a Schedule II drug, according to the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration. Authorities say a lethal dose for a full-grown adult is 2 milligrams—as opposed to 30mg of heroin. The Tuesday bust could otherwise provide deadly amounts for 3.9 million people.
