While the Agent Orange toxic components were NOT the pure form of 2,4-D, Id bet that any industrial 2,4-D is NOT FDA approved ... copied: This is why GM foods are incredibly harmful, and that is a lack of regulation on herbicide usage. According to experts, the introduction of these new crops could cause 2,4-D use to jump, big time. Chuck Benbrook, a pesticide policy expert with the Center for Sustaining Agriculture and Natural Resources at Washington State University, has estimated that if it’s approved, the engineered corn could cause applications of 2,4-D to jump 20-fold by 2019. That’s particularly concerning because experts have long shown that 2,4-D causes serious harm to humans, especially when used over vast swaths of farmland and lawns. Largely because of such concern, the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) petitioned the Environmental Protection Agency to revoke the chemical’s approval, first granted in 1948. america.aljazeera/opinions/2014/3/agent-orange-farmtotableherbicidemonsantodowchemicalagriculture.html
