Is Monsanto's Roundup Behind the Global Explosion of Celiac Disease?

Thanks for sharing this important information.

I have to try to totally avoid GM foods and products that contain them, because they cause me severe pains in my stomach. I discovered that in the late '90s. And was diagnosed with celiac awhile later. My brother used to get awful pains in his stomach after eating, and did have symptoms of celiac, but wasn't tested. He died of stomach cancer about 3 years ago. I think there is a good chance that Roundup and GMOs are causing the dramatic increase in celiac, gluten intolerance, IBS and other severe health problems. I've felt so much better since eating mostly organic foods and totally gluten free and avoiding GMOs.

Irritable bowel syndrome is not mentioned anywhere in this paper, where is your source for saying IBS may be caused by Roundup?

The Samsel/Seneff article is one of the worst I have seen in years. It shows a remarkable lack of scientific knowledge on this topic, and appears to be more of a political tool. In my opinion, this kind of fear-mongering is irresponsible, and celiacs should be up in arms about this. Jefferson, by merely restating the article's claims, I fear you are doing more harm than good.

I don't think that the material on Sustainable Pulse is really a review, and the author is not named.

Bizarrely, the text of the article in the S.P. link is different from that on the journal website (published last November), even though the versions look very similar. This is highly unorthodox, since it is standard practice for journals to issue public corrections or retractions if errors have been uncovered. (Since links are not permitted here, I unfortunately cannot post the actual link to the journal, but perhaps you could, Jefferson).

Thanks for sharing this info and link to the original article. I hope it gets into the hands of those who need to read it. This chemical needs to be banned asap so we stop poisoning ourselves and our planet!

I'd need to see a lot more data before I believe this, but if the research is validated, it opens up the potential for one of the largest lawsuits in history, against a corporate titan.

Dr. Mercola talked about this very same article back in the September 2013. We need to get congress to back us up and put a end of the use of glyphosate to kill off the foliage of the crops to be harvested. They (farmers) say that they have to have the amount of glyphosate to be increase to help farmers harvest. The this chemical is begin transfer into our food chain. All of us (celiacs) should call our congress reps and senators every day until they realize that this could be them some day.

I read the study. Most interesting (and alarming). Monsanto does it again. I hope the FDA, EPA, and others take notice of this and take steps to ban it to protect us (as is their job). And I hope the public get the word and takes notice....we need to speak out about this irresponsibility!

Don't expect Monsanto to be held responsible. Personal responsibility is only for real "persons" now. Corporations are exempt.

Thank you for sharing this.
