BEE-L Digest - 14 Apr 2009 to 15 Apr 2009 (#2009-44)(Página 12 Newspaper - 
Argentina - April 13th 2009) A laboratory scientific investigation confirms 
glyphosate is highly toxic and it causes devastating effects in embryos. 
Glyphosate is the Roundup® active ingredient, a total herbicide what is 
based the soya been production and the main source of clearfield idea, 
registered by Monsanto Corp. Thus, it was determined by the Laboratory of 
Molecular Embryology, CONICET-UBA (Faculty of Medicine) that, with dilutions 
dose up to 1500 less than those used in the fumigations of soya fields, it 
was proved intestinal and heart dysfunctions, malformations and neuronal 
deteriorations. The study, carried out in embryos, is the first one in its 
type and it refutes the supposed harmlessness of the herbicide.
The Laboratory of Molecular Embryology is twenty years working in academic 
investigations. It is placed in the Faculty of Medicine, University of 
Buenos Aires (UBA) and linked to the National Council of Scientific and 
Technical Investigations (CONICET). It is the most important reference on 
the matter in Argentina, conformed by graduates in biochemistry, genetics 
and biology. During the last fifteen months they studied the effect of the 
glyphosate in amphibious embryos, from the fecundation until the organism 
acquires the morphological characteristics of the species.
Next to the glyphosate they are also studing their helpings as POEA that, 
when working as a detergent, it is an animal fat derivated that has high 
toxicity and residual power.
