According to timeline charts created by the Journal of
Organic Systems study, there’s a direct and alarming
correlation, over the past 20 years, between the rise of use of
glyphosate and major disease rise in the USA. Te most
direct correlations between the increased use of glyphosate
on crops and the increased incidence of health issues are as
follows: bile duct cancer, kidney and renal pelvis cancer,
urinary/bladder cancer, thyroid cancer, deaths due to
hypertension, deaths due to stroke, deaths due to obesity,
diabetes, disorders of lipoprotein metabolism, renal disease
deaths, infammatory bowel disease (Crohn’s, and ulcerative
colitis), deaths due to intestinal infection, autism, senile
dementia, deaths due to Alzheimer’s, and deaths due to
Parkinson’s disease.

According to the authors of the study, “a huge
increase in the incidence and prevalence of chronic diseases
has been reported in the United States (US) over the last 20
years. Similar increases have been seen globally. Te
herbicide glyphosate was introduced in 1974 and its use is
accelerating with the advent of herbicide-tolerant genetically
engineered (GE) crops. Evidence is mounting that glyphosate
interferes with many metabolic processes in plants and
animals and glyphosate residues have been detected in both.
Glyphosate disrupts the endocrine system and the balance of
gut bacteria, it damages DNA and is a driver of mutations
that lead to cancer.”
Te increased use of glyphosate has led directly to the
increase of health issues in Americans in almost a one-to-one
correlation. And so, here's the issue: we have microorganisms
in our gut, which are delicate and have a really important job,
but they may be being killed by glyphosate.

Genetically modified organisms are the only ones
that will not be killed by the glyphosate. Glyphosate is
designed to kill organisms that are not genetically modified.
I repeat, glyphosate is designed to kill organisms that are
not genetically modified.
“Glyphosate, patented as an antimicrobial by
Monsanto, has been shown to disrupt gut bacteria in
animals, preferentially killing beneficial forms and causing
an overgrowth of pathogens. Two other properties of
glyphosate also negatively impact human health – chelation
of minerals such as iron and cobalt, and interference with
cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes, which play many
important roles in the body.”10
When we eat food with the residue of glyphosate in
it, it can destroy the mucosal layer of critical organisms
including bacteria that protect the villi. And so, the
destruction of the organisms leads to the destruction of the
villi and the combination of organisms and villi are what we
call the microbiome. To put it simply, when we eat food that
is covered in glyphosate, then that glyphosate goes into our
gut, it can kill our organisms and cause a whole host of
issues. That's the bottom line. The glyphosate may be killing
our microbiome and causing massive health issues that
otherwise could be avoided.
