3 Problems Monsanto Causes that Bayer Treats

1. Pesticides and Blood Pressure – The pesticides Monsanto uses in genetically modifying the foods we find at our grocery store, have repeatedly been shown to raise the risk for hypertension. Meanwhile, two of Bayer’s top selling drugs, Xarelto and Adalat, were created to treat high blood pressure specifically.
2. Herbicides and Blood Sugar – Monsanto uses herbicides to keep weeds away from its produce, but according to this 2009 study, these same chemicals damage the pancreas’s ability to sense blood sugar levels – destroying your body’s natural ability to sense when there is too much sugar in your system. However Bayer will be ready to sell you its Contour Next system and Glucobay to monitor and drug your body should you become diabetic.
3. High Fructose Corn Syrup and Obesity – Monsanto’s biggest and most damaging addition to the world diet has been its corn crop and its contribution to the manufacture of High Fructose Corn Syrup. Seriously, there are not enough bad things to be said about the damage this product has brought upon the way we all eat, and too many of us are carrying around extra weight because of this cheap addition to nearly everything we eat. And as we’ve seen, Bayer will be happy to take your money should any more serious conditions develop.

5 Ways to Fight Back!

Fortunately, a community of concerned citizens around the world is beginning to form in an attempt to block the merger, but there are still things you can do personally to show these companies that you can’t be bought and sold by their greed.

1. Buy Local – Monsanto thrives on business from people willing to settle for food imported from around the world because the labor is cheaper and the production costs are lower. Buying from local farmers at your famer’s market ensures that you know where your money is going
2. Buy Organic – Search out USDA Organic and GMO-Free verified labels so that you know you will not be ingesting the damaging chemicals that have seeped into your food as it grew. Unfortunately, this caution should be taken at your farmer’s market too because another huge part of Monsanto’s business comes from selling farmer’s cheap GMO seeds.
3. Buy Natural Sweeteners – Now, in a perfect world, we would prefer it if you avoided sugars all together, but we understand that every once in a while, you want a little sweetener in your life. Stay away from High Fructose Corn Syrup at all costs! There are far too many natural sweeteners, raw sugars, and naturally produced honey for you to give yourself a sweet little treat. Just go easy on it, OK?
4. Buy Flowers – …and plant them everywhere – especially if you want to keep plants growing naturally. One of the reasons for the rapid decline of the honeybee population across the world is the lack of their all natural food source. Monsanto’s chemical soup of single crop fields has done great damage to the bee population You may not like the idea of stinging bugs around, but if these natural pollinators are wiped out, there will be even fewer ways to keep an organic crop growing.
5. Buy Consciously – All too often we find ourselves rushed, making mindless decisions in our purchasing. We buy the cheapest product, the one with the loudest advertisement, the one that is probably the worst for us. Slow down. What you consume has a great effect on how you live. If you want to live well, then you have to start by buying well.
