Resumen de Monsanto: Una historia en entredicho

Brian Tokar

  • Monsanto is the main enterprise in transgenic research in staple foods. lts history is full of non ethicintentions since 1 920. PCB's (polichlorinated bipheniles) are one of the first Monsanto's chemical compounds with hughe problems of bioconcentration. The content of dioxines in several of its chemical products is very important, not only among users, also in Monsanto's workers. This problem was analyzed after the exposition to Orange Agent in Vietnam's vets. Transgenic soy is not sent to the market to solution world's lamine, in stead of forcing farmers to use the herbicide (Round up) associated with transgenic soy. Similar are the exeriencies with rBGH (recombinant bovine growth hormone), used to enhance milk production in cows, with many health problems to the livestock. Due to the growing concern of public opinion against transgenic industry, monsanto has launched a "Greenwash" policy , treating to associate "green" and "ecological" projects with one of the 5 more contaminating industries of USA. This work is copied from "The Ecologist" and represents the concern of NATURA MEDICATRIX with liberty of expression.
