WIDELY USED PESTICIDE KILLING FROGS--WHAT'S IT DOING TO US?
Monsanto's Roundup, sprayed on millions of acres of crops and weeds across the U.S. has been found to be "extremely toxic" to amphibians. A new study in the journal Ecological Applications reveals that applying the recommended manufacturer's dose of Roundup unexpectedly caused an 86% decline in tadpoles. Researchers initially conducted the experiment to test the effectiveness of Roundup, an herbicide, on algae, but discovered that the chemical actually promoted the algae growth by killing off the frogs. According to Rick Relyea, the study's lead biologist, "The most shocking insight coming out of this was that Roundup, something designed to kill plants, was extremely lethal to amphibians."
