Toxic Glyphosate found to be harming daily cows


 Glyphosate, primary ingredient in Round Up herbicide, was found to be dominant in daily cows all across Denmark. Dairy cows were found to contain glyphosate not only in their urine but also in high levels at blood. 

 According to a study carried out it was observed that all the cows had some level of Glyphosate in their systems. Many of the cows as a result of the high levels of Glyphosate expressed varying types of organ damage, damage to their livers, kidneys and muscle cells. In addition high urea levels that are detected also in the cows suggest a potential nephrotoxic with significant mineral depletion. 

 Glyphosate, when sprayed on crops seeps into the ground and literally binds important trace minerals like Cobalt and Magnesium, rendering them unavailable for plants and animals. In the end, the cows that feed on glyphosate poisoned pasture become mineral deficient, The levels of these minerals are crucial due to their contribution towards proper function and immune response. 

 The potential consequences are chronic illness for cows, tainted milk for humans and ulimately more sickness and deaths for everyone.
