Monsanto’s Roundup herbicide with glyphosate, which is a possible carcinogen, is absorbed by genetically modified crops engineered to be resistant to the weed killer. My concerns about this herbicide getting into the food chain for both humans and animals recently have been confirmed.
Dr. Anthony Samsel of Deerfield, N.H., shared some of his findings prior to his report being published. He found levels of glyphosate ranging from 0.022 to 0.30 milligrams per kilogram in cat and dog foods. Brands evaluated include Purina, Friskies, Iams, 9 Lives, Kibbles ‘n Bits and Rachael Ray. According to Samsel, the pet-food industry “adds NaNO2 (sodium nitrite) to some pet foods as a preservative. This is very common and in the presence of glyphosate is deadly.”
In my review of GMOs in pet foods posted on my website, several health conditions, including inflammatory bowel disease, allergies and skin and organ problems, may arise as a consequence of GMOs being included in the animals’ food.
