🚨 New “chemical mix” feed additive is being used on cows to meet climate change emission goals

The ingredients being used have already been evaluated by the Food Standards Agency and are toxic to humans, damages DNA but they’re moving ahead anyway

Bill Gates along with rival companies are creating vaccines and feed additives to cut emissions from cows

“Allows farmers to reduce enteric methane emissions from our dairy herds — claims to reduce methane emissions from cows gas by 27% on average”

“There are concerns that Bovar will make its way into cow's milk and then of course eventually into humans. It's made of silicon dioxide, propylene glycol, and organic compound 3-Nitrooxypropanol”

- Silicon dioxide is as an anticaking agent, could potentially lead to gastrointestinal issues or DNA damage

- Propylene glycol can cause side effects including central nervous system depression, hyperosmolarity, lactic acidosis, and in rare cases, toxicity leading to kidney or liver issues

The companies pushing these climate change changes say

"We have the ability to address some of the climate challenges facing our food system. It is this collective approach that is really going to make a difference. Being involved in using a feed additive is a great way of testing out where we can drive change at scale to bring down emissions."
