How #Syngenta withheld a study on #glyphosate and brain damage for more than 20 years

In 2001, a researcher at pesticide manufacturer Syngenta noticed that newborn rats moved less after their mothers were given glyphosate, which is widely used in agriculture. European authorities were not shown the study until last year.

"La profitabilité du secteur des pesticides serait actuellement impossible sans le soutien public et la prise en charge collective des impacts négatifs"
Des chiffres sidérants.
4 sociétés monopolisent 70% marché : Syngenta Group, Bayer, Corteva et BASF.

Regarding Fluoride:

“At the same time, a growing body of research links fluoride exposure to neurotoxicological impacts in humans, including IQ loss and a higher prevalence of ADHD in children.”

We need to keep an eye on this & push for more studies (by ethical researchers & their financiers).

None of this, however - ICE or EV components - even remotely compares to the impacts of oil. This graph below will put it into perspective.

Wait, where's #oil? The short of it is "it doesn't fit on the graph". Over 13 BILLION tonnes produced in 2019. Of easily-leakable, #neurotoxic, #carcinogenic liquid, primarily produced to burn into exhaust that also contains neurotoxic and carcinogenic components. If you care about the environment and health, *THAT* is the enemy.
