Contact Zen Honeycutt 1 out of 2 of our children have a chronic illness. Millions of parents are struggling.

Allergic reactions Contact Zen Honeycutt School nurses report up to 70% of USA children with chronic health issues.

Americans eat the most GMOs in the world and have the worst health. GMOs are in 85% of America’s processed foods Contact Zen Honeycutt 5

GMOs are genetically engineered to either BE a pesticide (BT) or RESIST herbicides (HT) Contact Zen Honeycutt 6 GMOs are a Chemical Delivery Systems to Humans! GMO= The DNA from one species is injected into the DNA of a completely unrelated species and the foreign protein spreads through every cell via a bacteria or virus. - BT GMO shown explodes stomach of bug that eats the corn/soy. GMO are not hybrid.

80% of GMOs are engineered to withstand Roundup (glyphosate) HT Contact Zen Honeycutt 7 Roundup is now also sprayed as a drying agent on non organic foods at harvest. See the EPA list of 160+ foods with allowable levels of glyphosate on our website under DATA. Hundreds of super weeds now resist Roundup. There was a 73% increase of Roundup use in 2013.

Historically Moms have determined the longevity of a culture through careful food preparation. Contact Zen Honeycutt 9 However, for twenty years without GMO labels, Moms have not known what is in our food and the health of our nation has declined.

The Reality of Health in America Of the top 17 most developed countries, the USA is last in health. Steven Wolff, US World Health Report 2014 Of the top developed countries, the USA is #1 for infant deaths on the first day of life. Save the Children 1 out of 2 of our children have a chronic illness. Robyn O’Brien and numerous pediatricians 1 out of 2 of American males and 1 out of 3 females are expected to get cancer today. The President ‘s Council on Cancer Pesticides are linked to loss of IQ. American IQ has dropped 7 points since GMOs.

Contact Zen Honeycutt 12 “I had an awesome team of doctors at the children’s hospital that could not figure out what was wrong with my daughter who was getting sick after nearly every meal. The Moms posting on Facebook that their children got better when they got off GMOs saved my daughter’s life. That day, I went out and bought organic food and she stopped throwing up.” – quoted summary from Jennifer Lawrenson Video Testimony available on

Contact Zen Honeycutt 13 Karen from CA told us that her son had daily asthma attacks, needed glasses, and was recommended to be held back a year at school. When she found out about GMOs and switched to organic, his asthma disappeared, he no longer needed glasses and he is now at the TOP of his class. Cindy from RI has a severely autistic teenage son. She found out about GMOs 2 years ago and went all organic. Her son entered high school this past fall and NOT ONE of his teachers could tell that he ever had autism. These two boys have new futures because their Moms found out about GMOs/Glyphosate. We say our country has a new future because their moms found out about GMOs/Glyphosate. Who know what these two boys will invent or contribute to our society?

Glyphosate (Roundup) Test Results released April 7, 2014 by Moms Across America and Sustainable Pulse Contact Zen Honeycutt 14 In 2014, MAA set up for the first time in America, the ability for citizens to test their household water and urine for glyphosate and, for the first time in the world, their breast milk. The results were alarming.

As you review results, keep in mind that: Recent Seralini Study on Roundup (not glyphosate alone) showed The “inert” chemical ingredients made glyphosate 1000X more toxic 0.1 ppb of Roundup in the water containing 50ppt of glyphosate given to rats to cause liver, kidney and sex hormone changes. Contact Zen Honeycutt 15

The Carrusco study showed the destruction of the gut bacteria of chickens at 0.1 ppb of glyphosate. 70% of our immune system lies in our gut bacteria. Children are especially susceptible to illness with a weakened immune system. Contact Zen Honeycutt

Effects of Roundup on Beneficial Bacteria Contact Zen Honeycutt 17

Glyphosate Water Test Results Map Contact Zen Honeycutt 18 3 X Higher than allowed in Europe Ug/l = ppb ppb=1 drop in 500 billion Detectable Level=.05 ppb

Glyphosate Urine Test Results Map Contact Zen Honeycutt 19 Female college student with cancer Ug/l = ppb Ppb=1 drop in 500 billion Detectable level =7.5 ppb

Glyphosate Breast Milk Test Results Contact Zen Honeycutt 20 Mother ate Conventional American Food Ug/l = ppb Ppb=1 drop in 500 billion Detectable Level= 75 pbb

Moms found glyphosate in our breast milk at levels X higher than is allowed in Europe’s drinking water. Contact Zen Honeycutt X higher than show to cause harm in Seralini’s Study.

Contact Zen Honeycutt The EPA allows Glyphosate to contaminate 160 of our foods at levels which destroy gut bacteria and weaken immune system. In three days, 10,000 moms called The EPA. Moms Across America and orgs met with the EPA. The EPA has agreed to analyze glyphosate in breast milk before approval or denial of re=registration.

Glyphosate found in Numerous American Foods. Contact Zen Honeycutt 23

MAA finds Glyphosate in Pediasure Feeding Tube Liquid Contact Zen Honeycutt Jan 7, X Higher than shown to destroy gut bacteria in Carrusco’s study.

But don’t the studies submitted to the EPA prove safety? No! 25

Proposed Collateral Damage of Glyphosate Summary Contact Zen Honeycutt Endocrine disruptor (birth defects, miscarriage and infertility/sterility) = 30% failure to conceive. 2 million babies lost each year. 379 a day. 3.8 babies a minute. Antibiotic (destroys gut bacteria and weakens immune system) = 24.7 million children with food intolerances (leaky gut) and a 79% increase in Crohn’s disease in children in the past 10 years. The gut bacteria is primary place where Tryptophan, Seratonin, + Melatonin is made. Seratonin regulates insulin =Diabetes 4X higher in teens in 10 years. 29 million Americans have diabetes. Seratonin also regulates brain conditions million American have mental illness. Chelator (mineral deficiency) = million Americans have cancer. Cancer is #1 or 2 killer of children today*.

What YOU Can Do Contact Zen Honeycutt 27 1.Subsidize Organic. 2.Subsidize alternatives such as steam, permaculture, cover crops, mulch and organic weed control. 3.Revoke the license of glyphosate and toxic chemicals from our crops and public spaces. 4.Require final formulation of products with long term animal safety testing.
