Atrazine-A Silent Food Additive Hiding In Plain Sight


Listen Later

This week's episode is the third installment of the podcast series on food additives.

Although Atrazine isn't a food additive in the sense that it is added to our food supply, it is in and on our food, it's in our water and the question is, is it killing more than weeds?

Tune into this week's podcast episode as we discuss the health, ecological and economic impacts of Syngenta's Atrazine herbicide.

The use of herbicides is critical to the success of many farmers. Equally, the non-use of herbicides is critical to the survival of many species - including us!

It's complicated because many farmers have to use pesticides and herbicides to have successful crops so they can make money. But at what cost?

Recently, there were two articles that discussed lawsuits brought against Monsanto, the manufacturer of Dicamba (which I talked about in my Yo, Soy Peaches episode in Season One) and also against Monsanto/Bayer, which settled for $10 billion dollars.
