Drink a California Wine and Enjoy Monsanto's Carcinogen Glyphosate at No Extra Cost

How much cancer is acceptable?

There is a misconception promoted by the media that cancer is somehow caused by bad genes. But in reality, cancer is mostly caused by carcinogens in our environment. There are those that are more susceptible to certain cancers based on their genetic makeup. But it is the carcinogens (toxins) in the environment that are the leading cancer killers. For Example no matter what your genetic makeup, if you were to spend anytime in the Fukishima Nuclear Power Plant after the initial meltdown you would be dead fairly quickly.

Although eating a healthy diet of fruits and vegetables can help people avoid some cancers and even help them cope (perhaps survive) cancer after they get it. A diet of cruciferous vegetables (broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, etc.,), fruits and juices loaded with phytonutrients, moderate amount whole grain starches, and a meat/fish and dairy abstinence can indeed do a lot to help a person dealing with cancer. But it is important to recognize that people are mainly getting cancer because of environmental toxins and pollutants and not because they are not eating their fruits and vegetables.

Some people think they can eat organic and be protected. But we are exposed to cancer causing chemicals everywhere (in our home, workplace, in the water, in the air, etc.,). Not only that, eating organic is no guarantee that you won't be exposed to cancer causing chemicals in your food. Recently it was reported that California wines, even organic, had trace amounts of the toxic weed killer glyphosate, the active ingredient in Monsanto's weed killer Roundup.

So you might assume that trace amounts aren't so bad and you can drink up. But even .1 parts per trillion of glyphosate can stimulate the growth of breast cancer. In fact, in California's wine growing region they have 10 to 20 percent higher levels of breast cancer than the national average.

So you can drink a glass of California wine to your health, but a glass of wine containing glyphosate (no matter how small the amount) increases your cancer risk. But sadly this is true for all our fruits and vegetables, even organic.

So what is the solution?

Accept the risk to you and your family or demand that our governments protect its citizens from known carcinogens?

A healthy environment and eco-system is not just a nice idea, it should be our right as children of mother earth.
