According to a recent study, exposure to pesticides, such as glyphosate, can cause damage to DNA and disorders of cell activity in workers who sprayed soybeans these chemicals.

The study, published in the journal Mutation Research / Research/Genetic Toxicology and Environmental Mutagenesis, checked 127 people, including 81 who worked directly with biocides on the soybean fields in Brazil.

The group working with the chemical, showed increased levels of apoptosis, as well as damage to DNA. The researchers came to the conclusion that the widespread use of genetically modified soybeans has a toxic effect for employees.

Glyphosate is one of the main components of the herbicide Roundup Monsanto and other biocides that farmers use to kill weeds, insects and fungi in their fields.

Monsanto and other major agribusiness companies mass produce soybeans that have been genetically modified and are resistant to the use of glyphosate and other biocides.

The results of this study contradict the news that Monsanto last week received approval from the USDA for its genetically modified soybeans and cotton.

It is not the first day of Monsanto and other major agribusiness companies cause sharp criticism for its genetically modified seeds, which leads to litigation in many States.
