It will be fun to see Monsanto/GMO lovers read this and explain how there's still no evidence that their flagship herbicide is any danger to humans.

"There is a substantial alignment among countries, worldwide, with low or decreasing birth rates,
emerging obesity problems, and an increasing glyphosate burden. Given the arguments presented here,
it is plausible that glyphosate is causal in these trends. It may also be possible to demonstrate strong
correlations between glyphosate usage and both autism and breast cancer. Formal epidemiological
studies should be conducted to look at these issues more closely."

"Both colitis and Crohn’s disease are associated with sulfate depletion in the gut [102], which could
be caused by the impaired sulfate transport problem induced by glyphosate exposure."

Yikes,tuff read if any is true it can cause a mess in your body.

Not sure they talked too much about how much residual exposure humans have, how fast it breaks down,and how much if any left after it breaks down,or did I miss it.

Son was exposed early on started working with a landscape company around age 15,colon gone.

Mark: This also disrupts amino acid transport and destroys tryptophan, possibly the missing
reason Stien is looking for.

I got UC after moving to a neighborhood that is drenched in the stuff.

The most alarming thing to me about genetically modified foods is the intentional creation of food plants that are resistant to roundup and other herbicides. Farmers will increase herbicide usage because it won't kill the crop and our exposure will skyrocket.

Hey....

So, what if we start calling all these things "the roundup disease"? If enough of us do it, and it gains a foothold in popular culture.....well, maybe we'll get some more action on the research front? maybe. just maybe. One can hope, anyway.

"Due to the antagonistic effect of the common beneficial bacterium Enterococcus spp. on Clostridia, toxicity of glyphosate to E. spp could lead to overgrowth of Clostridia and resulting pathologies."

"In an observational study involving patients in a hospital in Wisconsin between 2000 and 2005, it was shown that C. difficile infection was almost nonexistent in patients with inflammatory bowel disease prior to 2003, but the rate grew from 4% to 7% to 16% in 2003, 2004, and 2005. One hypothesis presented was antibiotic use disrupting the beneficial gut bacteria, but it is conceivable that increased exposure to glyphosate is contributing to this increase."

That tells something abt. C. diff

Its MIT still they better get lawyered up, I am pretty sure, it is going to ruffle some feathers big time.

Anybody knows if anyone in the US congress has UC or Crohn's, esp. among the friends of Monsanto's. It will be great to see him/her crapping their pants on live national TV. <evil grin>

There's no proper word to describe Stephanie Seneff's level of genius. As an MIT scientist, she puts most medical professionals to shame and exposes them for the clowns they are. Definitely one of the no-nonsense scientists of our generation.

You'll find her work on cholesterol and gut microbes here. I did not know how much of a sham sunscreen was until I read about cholesterol's mechanism to sequester and protect us from sunlight. She's also the only one who seems to understand why gestational diabetes is on the rise. Hint: it's a defense mechanism to give fat/cholesterol deficient fetuses the energy to survive child birth.

stealth-Interesting. I'll give that a read. Were you the one who posted the other day that we should be eating no less than three eggs a day? I can't remember the context.

I was just talking to my husband about roundup last night and how now many plants and bugs are roundup resistant so they are working on the next product now. This is terrifying!

Thank you Stealth.

I have a few posts a while back on this lady (Stephanie Seneff).. they revolve around some work she did on Sulfur and Cholesterol and sunlight exposure Sulfur being a "missing" component in peoples diets these days and suggesting sources like shellfish etc etc... Combining this with sunshine... well you'd have to read her older works.

I hate to be the one to say it - but it just doesn't account for all those that eat this stuff daily and have zero effects. If it was a causative agent it would effect 100%. But it does not.

Perhaps as a secondary factor it might apply. There's got to be a barrier breakdown or major shift first before what she wrote in this paper could be a true factor or even actually take place at a cellular level in these diseases.

Frustrating... sort of another step in the right direction, but still far from putting the whole puzzle together. Grrrrr...

There's an answer out there somewhere though.

EDIT - I also have to say watch out for the words "observational" and "could effect" and "Hypothesize" etc etc...... the labwork isn't there on this... thought it's still a great paper.

Edit: And the words "would" and "may"...

@eph - I forgot to mention that it's also classified as an Endocrine Disrupting Compound so you might be able to find lot's out on it in that regard as well. Which would be an alternative or perhaps even complimentary pathway for negative health effects.

I wish I could avoid a lot this stuff for general health reasons... but it's almost impossible. I find the food in the organic section of the grocery store is older and not fresh at all/borderline ready to be chucked. I wish the organic people would realize it may be a better idea to flash freeze some of this stuff to prevent all the waste. It's actually really hard to find frozen organic veggies around here. Same with fruit. For now I just wash them with Nature Clean Fruit and Veggie wash as best I can.
