Monsanto's Tough Week: Now It's Birth Defects
(edited)

Tough week for Monsanto.
Tuesday, word went around that the company's "SmartStax" seeds were 
yielding less in Iowa's corn harvest than expected. That prompted 
analysts, including Goldman Sachs, to cut their price targets on the 
stock.

Today, it's the rumor that the company's herbicide, "Roundup," could 
be causing birth defects, based on a study released by researchers in 
Argentina, and published in the August issue of the academic journal 
Chemical Research in Toxicology.
The study itself focuses broadly on herbicides containing glyphosate, 
but F. William Engdahl over at Global Research lays out the explicit 
connection to Roundup, a glyphosate-based herbicide, writing:
Widespread reports of human malformations began to be reported in 
Argentina beginning 2002, two years after widespread aerial spraying 
of Roundup and planting of Roundup Ready Soybeans was begun.
