As most genetically modified foods are herbicide tolerant. The overuse of herbicides creates superweeds, which then require more herbicides. The use of more and more herbicides is not only unsafe for the environment, but also unsafe for human consumption. Also the herbicides, such as Roundup, is linked to birth defects, hormone disruption and cancer. GMOs harm the environment along with birds, insects, and many organisms that create our ecosystem. This results in a reduced biodiversity. Glyphosate, a chemical used for herbicides literally tears the stomach out of the bacteria to kill it. This chemical is on our foods and could pose the same threat to use in lower terms, but as the consumption of this chemical is more common the effects may become more noticeable. In a study with rats and eating GMO corn, 70 percent of female and 50 percent of male rats had died prematurely when they were fed with the corn. The corn was coated with the herbicides that is used by every farmer. GMOs have been inked to 22 different types of
