An Argentinian Film claiming the birth of deformed children due use of agrochemicals in Argentina

This kind of propaganda claiming that deformed childern are born due to the use of glyphosate and other agrochemicals is not new. Similar films were shown regularly at all sorts of green-activist rallies some years ago as well, and now almost as a matter of routine.
These NGOs command vast financial resources, fanning out street demonstrations dipping into funds provided by Organic food chains to promote there wares. These street deomnstrations are some what similar to those of the LTTE in Canada and Europe in 2009.
Ven. Ratana, Dr. Jayasumana and others from Sri Lanka attended the Kangaroo court” organized by a French Journalist and patented under the name “Hague International court” (to make the public think that it has something to do with the UN court where as it has actually NO connection what so ever with the UN body). Such film clips were presented at the Kangaroo court as well.
Who funded the travel of this Sri Lankan delegation to the
Kangaroo court?
Ven. Ratana is also said to have claimed at the Kangaroo court that 3% of the children born in the NCP are such deformed children, caused by Glyphosate. Ven. Ratana made the same claim in a TV interview with Ada Derana.
However, 3% is the standard rate for the birth of deformed children, not only now, but even decades ago, and also even in very Northern or mountain communities where no agriculture is practised. This 3% arises from cosmic radiation and UV radiation always falling everywhere on the earth.
Linking a cause with an effect cannot be done by mere association of “alleged cause with alleged effect”, even with cosmic radiation.
Cosmic radiation causes mutations in DNA. This link has been established by lab experiments and by methods which satisfy established criteria used in epidemiology.

A Court in USA has decided against this stuff manufacturer.
I do not support either view but we should be careful in using these inorganic chemicals in our food production.
