I understand that glyphosate and AMPA are accumulated to elevated levels
in the reproductive tissue and grain seeds of maize, roundup ready
maize, soy, canola and cotton.

ISIS Press Release 11/02/09
Death by Multiple Poisoning, Glyphosate and Roundup
Scientists pinpoint how very low concentrations of the herbicide and
other chemicals in Roundup formulations kill human cells, strengthening
the case for phasing them out, and banning all further releases of
Roundup-tolerant GM crops
Dr. Mae-Wan Ho and Brett Cherry

This article was submitted to the USDA on behalf of ISIS
Four different Roundup formulations of the herbicide glyphyosate
manufactured by Monsanto are highly toxic to human cells, and at
concentrations far below the recommended agricultural use levels.
Researchers at the Institute of Biology in Caen , France published their
latest results in the current issue of Chemical Research in Toxicology
[1] .

Roundup formulations are lethal cocktails
