(NaturalSociety) Monsanto’s favorite agro-chemical is causing chronic kidney failure in countries throughout the world. While the biotech giant has tried to keep this information from spreading into public awareness, like their chemicals that leach into the soil and taint our food, the truth cannot be stopped. Dr. Jeff Ritterman explains just how injurious Roundup Ready chemicals and glyphosate truly are.

While a high court in France has accused Monsanto of falsely representing RoundUp in the past, stating Monsanto falsely advertised its herbicide as “biodegradable” and claimed it “left the soil clean,” doctors and scientists are finding far different results. The chemical is causing an epidemic that is becoming hard to ignore. Dr. Jeff Ritterman is the VP on the board of directors for Physicians for Social Responsibility and a retired chief of cardiology, and one individual who is helping to inform people of the dangers linking this herbicide to chronic kidney disease.
Ritterman admits he was shocked that he didn’t know about this epidemic until recently. El Salvador ranks highest in fatal kidney disease currently, but other countries like India, Sri Lanka, and Honduras are suffering from ‘a primarily different type of kidney disease’ well. According to the doctor, it happens mostly in people who are exposed to heavy metals and high levels of herbicides in hot climates, primarily glyphosate, the main ingredient in Monsanto’s Roundup.
RoundUp, Glyphosate Amplifies Heavy Metal Damage/Accumulation
Reportedly, the chemical is a metal binder, which means that those who are already suffering from heavy metal exposure (and then add glyphosate to that) end up having a very specific type of kidney disease that we don’t see in the US.
