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

Allergic reactions
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

GMOs are genetically engineered to either BE
a pesticide (BT) or RESIST herbicides (HT)
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.
GMOs are a
Chemical

80% of GMOs are engineered to
withstand Roundup (glyphosate) HT
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.
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. (6 million to 9 million*)

Video Testimony available on www.momsacrossamerica.com/about
“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

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
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.

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.

Moms found glyphosate in our breast milk
at levels 760-1600X higher than is allowed
in Europe’s drinking water.
1520-3600X
higher than
show to
cause harm in
Seralini’s
Study.

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.

Numerous American Foods.

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

Proposed Collateral Damage of Glyphosate Summary
• 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. 57.7 million American have mental illness.
• Chelator (mineral deficiency) = 117.8 million Americans
have cancer. Cancer is #1 or 2 killer of children today*.

What YOU Can Do
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.
