Environmentalists have long spoken out against the threats posed by such products that include glyphosate with the UK Soil Association claiming that traces are often found in bread.
Environmentalists have long spoken out against the threats posed by such products that include glyphosate with the UK Soil Association claiming that traces are often found in bread.
From the article:
“Environmentalists have long spoken out against the threats posed by such products that include glyphosate with the UK Soil Association claiming that traces are often found in bread, according to the BBC.”
The article also goes on to say “the European Food Safety Authority and the European Chemicals Agency have not yet found any link between glyphosate and cancer in humans.”
That doesn’t even make any sense because if an herbicide is found in bread, then of course it is detrimental to human life. It is sprayed in order to KILL weeds. A weed is alive and so are humans and so if something is found in ‘bread’ that has caused weeds to die, why would it be a stretch to believe that it would also kill humans? I posted a blog that links plant and human life and the fact that we share commonalities.
“Humans And Plants Share Common Regulatory Pathway
“In findings that some might find reminiscent of science fiction, scientists at the Scripps Research Institute have shown for the first time that humans and plants share a common pathogen recognition pathway as part of their innate immune systems. The data could help shed fresh light on how pathogen recognition proteins function and the role they play in certain chronic inflammatory diseases.
Studies have shown that Monsanto’s Roundup is extremely toxic:
Two key problems caused by glyphosate in the diet are nutritional deficiencies, especially minerals, and systemic toxicity
Glyphosate is possibly “the most important factor in the development of multiple chronic diseases and conditions that have become prevalent in Westernized societies,” according to researchers
Your gut bacteria are a key component of glyphosate’s mechanism of harm, as microbes have the pathway used by glyphosate to kill weeds
Glyphosate causes extreme disruption of microbes’ functions and life cycles. What’s worse, glyphosate preferentially affects beneficial bacteria, allowing pathogens to overgrow
Two key problems in autism unrelated to the brain yet clearly associated with the condition are both linked with glyphosate exposure: gut dysbiosis, and disrupted sulfur metabolism/impaired sulfate transport”

Whatever happened to the good old fashion way of getting rid of weeds in our gardens; PULLING THEM??!!! For the love of!!! We want everything easy and so we will use shit that will kill us just so we don’t have to bend over and pull up a goddamn weed? Seriously??!! It’s called ‘weeding’ the damn garden. It’s not a novel concept.
I declare Dr. Bramhall, ‘humans’ and their shit just piss me off to no end!

Shelby, i don’t think it would surprise you to learn my main concern about Roundup relates to its effect on gut bacteria – which regulate our immunity, metabolism, neurodevelopment and just about everything else. While humans don’t share a common biochemical pathway with weeds, the bacteria in their intestine do. Most of our chronic illnesses result, ultimately, from a dysfunction in gut bacteria, which is why I see exposing everyone (involuntarily) to Roundup is so dangerous. From everything I’ve read, once you kill off your gut bacteria, it’s extremely difficult – if not impossible – to get them back.
And you make an excellent point about pulling weeds. At present New Plymouth District Council routinely sprays weeds growing between the curb and street surface with Roundup. I have a signed agreement with them that I will pull my own weeds and they won’t spray in front of my house.
It turns out there are numerous non-lethal labor savings methods of weed control, including spraying them with vinegar and steam. Thus far NPDC doesn’t seem very interested. As soon as we get rid of our fracking problem, this is one of the next campaigns we plan to take on – they’re also spraying playgrounds with the shit.

That court decision must be sending shivers of fear up the spines of CEOs in the pesticide industry!

Good point, Alan. Especially with the drop in stock prices since the court decision was announced.
