Stephanie Seneff PhD and researcher at MIT has shed light on the dangers associated with glyphosate. The chemical glyphosate is used as a weed killer used for crops, in gardens, parks and forests. The product may have different names but was originally created in 1961 as a agent to strip mineral deposited off pipes and boilers in commercial hot-water systems. Then in 1969 the company Monsanto made an application to patent glyphosate as a herbicide. Glyphosate, believe it or not, was also patented in 2003 as an oral antibiotic.
Science is telling us that glyphosate takes 2 years to be metabolized by soil bacteria. The agricultural industry has determined that glyphosate can be reapplied after 3 months.
What glyphosate does is disrupt the shikimate pathway in plants, this pathway enables plants to produce aromatic amino acids. It was originally claimed that since humans do not have a shikimate pathway then they would not be affected by glyphosate. However, over the last 3 decades it has been scientifically proven that there is a shikimate pathway in the human gut and humans are in fact affected by glyphosate.
Yet we continue to spray even though there is a direct link to cancer, birth defects and endocrine system disruption and neurological issues. Take the steps you can to declare a moratorium on the spraying of glyphosate’s, call your local government and ask for change.
