Georgia Bill Sparks MAHA Concerns About Alleged Chinese Poison Chemicals

Georgia lawmakers passed a bill that would allow manufacturers of pesticides to escape liability for failing to warn consumers of health risks above those required by the U.S. Environmentalists and regenerative farming advocates warn that the bill would be detrimental to public health.

Manufacturers that would be covered under the bill include Bayer , who owns Monsanto , the maker of RoundUp , the most commonly used pesticide in the United States .

The U.S. imports from 4,000 to 5,000 tons of the product annually , making up over 10 percent of China ’s export supply.

Studies have linked the chemical to Parkinson's disease, finding that people who used paraquat were 2.5 times more likely to develop the disease.

Over 50 countries have banned its use, including China .

The bill now sits on the governor's desk for him to sign.
