EVEN GARDENERS WHO COME TO YOUR HOUSE ARE TRAINED TO BELIEVE THAT. COMMERCIAL FARMERS ARE PRETTY MUCH BRAIN-WASHED ALSO. READ WHAT IT DOES. ALWAYS AVOID USING IT AND FIND MARKET GARDENERS WHO DON'T USE CHEMICALS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">When you\u2019re creating a meal or spraying a stray dandelion in your yard, you probably don\u2019t think about glyphosate toxicity. Still, glyphosate is the most commonly used agricultural pesticide in the world \u2014 and a go-to weedkiller in lawns and gardens across America. And although you would never purposely add it to your food or drinking water \u2026 you\u2019re still probably consuming it every day. (It\u2019s used so heavily, it\u2019s now detected in\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/30015122\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">rain samples<\/a>, too.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">The unfortunate truth is, glyphosate is virtually impossible to avoid, so you and your loved ones are probably at risk from its toxic effects right now \u2014 unless you take active steps to defend yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">You should know that RoundUp is a strong Glyphosate: they are both mad by Bayer-Monsanto, the wretched company who make GMO's (Genetically Modified Seeds\/Foods)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>The Inside Track on Glyphosate<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Glyphosate\u2019s primary use involves killing weeds, but it was first\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/29294235\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">patented as a metal chelator (remover)<\/a>\u00a0because it binds to minerals (like calcium) to clear them out of pipes. That\u2019s great for pipes, but not for people who need essential minerals to stay strong and healthy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">The herbicide also causes a devastating impact on our internal ecosystem. It kills off beneficial bacteria (probiotics) while giving dangerous pathogens a competitive edge. Research indicates that glyphosate creates and speeds up antibiotic resistance in\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/25805724\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">disease-causing bacteria<\/a>\u00a0such as salmonella and E. coli.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">In its central role, glyphosate is the most widely used agricultural pesticide in the world, but it\u2019s often combined with other toxic herbicides including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Atrazine<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>2,4-D (2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic acid)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Dicamba<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Neonicotinoid insecticides<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">That\u2019s why the vast majority of our conventional food supply is\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/draxe.com\/nutrition\/glyphosate-in-cereal\/\">contaminated with glyphosate<\/a>, almost always along with other toxins. And as we\u2019re finding, these dangerous combinations spell disaster for our personal and planetary health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>Glyphosate Toxicity: The Many Dangers<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Glyphosate poses an enormous health risk because of our constant exposure. And though each instance of contact with glyphosate may seem small, they all add up \u2014 especially since this everyday toxin \u201ctricks\u201d your body into storing it, by mimicking other essential nutrients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">That puts you at higher risk for many troubling health issues, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/24678255\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Deficiencies<\/a>\u00a0in essential minerals such as\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/draxe.com\/nutrition\/manganese\/\">manganese<\/a>\u00a0and iron that can lead to diabetes, dementia, and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/draxe.com\/health\/anemia-symptoms\/\">anemia symptoms<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/abs\/pii\/S0161813X19300816#:~:text=Environmental%20pollutants%20insecticides%20or%20herbicides%20as%20glyphosate%20produce%20intestinal%20dysbiosis.&amp;text=Gly%20modifies%20microorganism's%20composition%20in%20gut%20by%20direct%20action%20on%20beneficial%20bacteria.&amp;text=Gly%20impact\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Overgrowth of pathogens in the gut<\/a>\u00a0(dysbiosis or \u201cleaky gut\u201d), which disrupts immune function and increases inflammation, putting you at risk for dozens of chronic diseases<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/31751608\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Disruption of vital biochemical processes<\/a>\u00a0(like\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/draxe.com\/health\/mthfr-mutation\/\">detox methylation<\/a>), which can lead to toxin overload, autoimmune disease and cancer<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Reduced neurotransmitter production, which can cause depression, anxiety, and cognitive decline<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Since glyphosate contamination is extremely difficult to avoid, you need to defend yourself against it every day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>Pesticides Taint Most Foods<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Most plant foods sold in the U.S. come bathed in pesticides.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ams.usda.gov\/sites\/default\/files\/media\/2018PDPAnnualSummary.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">According to the USDA<\/a>, more than 225 different pesticides can be found on fruits, vegetables, and grains commonly consumed in the U.S. (See the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/draxe.com\/health\/dirty-dozen\/\">Dirty Dozen<\/a>\u00a0list for more details.) Even organic foods are not always spared, since pesticides like glyphosate and others can find their way into organic farms via wind drift or other means.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Glyphosate itself contaminates hundreds of the most common foods. Even though each food may contain only trace amounts of glyphosate, those traces add up to an oversized daily dose. Here\u2019s just a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.weedkillercrisis.com\/topics\/list-of-foods-containing-glyphosate\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">small taste of foods<\/a>\u00a0that contain glyphosate in popular brands:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Granola bars<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Bottled orange juice<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ewg.org\/news-and-analysis\/2019\/02\/glyphosate-contamination-food-goes-far-beyond-oat-products\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Rolled oats<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>100% whole grain pasta<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ewg.org\/research\/glyphosate-hummus\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Hummus<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">While it may seem impossible to avoid glyphosate and other pesticides, there are things you can do to protect yourself and your family from the harm these toxins can cause. Emphasizing organic foods and products is an important first step. Even though organic produce may still contain some pesticide or toxin residues, levels will be far lower than conventionally-grown items.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">There\u2019s also a new, independent certification that manufacturers can obtain to verify products as glyphosate-free. While still in the early stages, this new certification may be something to keep an eye out for, as awareness about the dangers of glyphosate continues to climb.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>Protect Yourself from Glyphosate Toxicity<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">There are several things you can do to minimize \u2014 and even eliminate \u2014 glyphosate contamination, but the most important is to protect your body with natural defenders. That way, as we are chronically exposed to glyphosate, our bodies can safely deal with it before long-term damage is done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>The most effective glyphosate defense team includes:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>Citrus pectin:\u00a0<\/strong>A\u00a0<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/18219211\/\" target=\"_blank\">soluble fiber known to detoxify heavy metals<\/a>\u00a0and clear cholesterol through its\u00a0<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/22190137\/\" target=\"_blank\">superior binding powers<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">A<strong>lginates (purified from kelp):\u00a0<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/18303942\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Proven to protect against pesticide toxicity<\/a>\u00a0and<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC3654245\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">\u00a0effectively remove heavy metals and toxins<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>Glycine:<\/strong>\u00a0An amino acid needed to create glutathione \u2014 a powerful detoxifier and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC6619856\/#:~:text=Increased%20circulating%20BCAA%20has%20been,metabolic%20disorders%20and%20liver%20injury.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">antioxidant that also protects the liver<\/a>\u00a0against toxicity.\u00a0Interestingly, the body\u00a0<em>can<\/em>\u00a0mistake glyphosate for\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/draxe.com\/nutrition\/glycine\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">glycine<\/a>\u00a0during protein synthesis, tricking it into storing toxic glyphosate in tissues and organs.
