In these hard economic times, it is best to start your spring planning now. ![]() poster_you_cant_eat_lawn_... Question for a Federal Court to answer:
If it is true that Glyphosate ( used in farms and found in most water supplies due to farm drainage runoff and from use of Glyphosate in home gardens and lawns, golf courses and municipal lawns and parks), is lowering the testosterone level of males, then, what percentage of males might have a testosterone level too low to go to a war zone, or to return to a war zone once they know what they face there?; and isn't it true that the Government should test all males who refuse to go to war, or refuse to return to a war zone, for their individual testosterone level to see if, in fact, they are "fit" for military service for which there is an "implied contract" that the soldier will perform the job duties of killing human beings, which requires a significant testosterone level to do? Isn't it a material fact that it requires a significant testosterone level for a person to be able to willingly kill another person? Isn't it true that the Government has strict and absolute liability under the federal toxic hazardous substances law in conjunction with companies like Monsanto for allowing Glyphosate to leach into the water system? Isn't it true that studies prove that criminals who kill (are charged with homicide) have high testosterone levels; and that soldiers who refuse to kill frequently, if not always, refer to the killing going on in a war zone as "criminal"? http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20012598 Nov 22, 2012 ... But emerging evidence suggests that men have less testosterone today than their fathers .. Population-wide, testosterone levels have dropped markedly in the ... that it can transform an adult male frog into a fully reproducing female. ... testosterone levels in the upper 25 percent of normal have a lower risk ... Low Testosterone (Low T) Symptoms, Causes, Treatment ... http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20012598 Abstract Glyphosate is a herbicide widely used to kill weeds both in agricultural and non-agricultural landscapes. Glyphosate's reproductive toxicity is related to the inhibition of a StAR protein and an aromatase enzyme, which causes an in vitro reduction in testosterone and estradiol synthesis. ... Evaluations included the progression of puberty, body development, the hormonal production of testosterone, estradiol and corticosterone, and the morphology of the testis. Results showed that the herbicide (1) significantly changed the progression of puberty in a dose-dependent manner; (2) reduced the testosterone production, in semineferous tubules' morphology, decreased significantly the epithelium... (4) no difference in tubular diameter was observed; and (5) relative to the controls, no differences in serum corticosterone or estradiol levels were detected, but the concentrations of testosterone serum were lower in all treated groups... These results suggest that commercial formulation of glyphosate is a potent endocrine disruptor in vivo, causing disturbances in the reproductive development of rats when the exposure was performed during the puberty period. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20012598 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Testosterone
