Diquat is banned in the UK, EU, China and other countries. The US has resisted calls to regulate it
The herbicide ingredient used to replace glyphosate in Roundup and other weedkiller products can kill gut bacteria and damage organs in multiple ways, new research shows.
The ingredient, diquat, is widely employed in the US as a weedkiller in vineyards and orchards, and is increasingly sprayed elsewhere as the use of controversial herbicide substances such as glyphosate and paraquat drops in the US.
But the new piece of data suggests diquat is more toxic than glyphosate, and the substance is banned over its risks in the UK, EU, China and many other countries. Still, the EPA has resisted calls for a ban, and Roundup formulas with the ingredient hit the shelves last year.
Culture… Whenever I go over seas I’m actually surprised how fast US culture is disappearing. Movies, music, and such was something we held a strong monopoly on. But but that’s only because we’re the most technically advanced to mass produce such things. Now. Nearly every other nation especially China’s and Russia’s “Hollywood” pumps out enough content to satisfy their demographics. American (western) content used to be the only thing on the shelves over seas. Now we’re relegated to just a corner. The world doesn’t care as much about our pop music and movies. Those have greatly decreased in quality anyways.
Yeah it turns out being evil and incompetent and ruining everything can sometimes lose you influence. How vould we possibly have known?
