9:18 How to avoid glyphosate exposure and pesticide residues in food



The World Health Organization (WHO) says that glyphosate causes cancer, but the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) says it’s safe. What’s the truth?


Roundup has been used in farming to kill weeds since 1974. Genetically modified crops were introduced in 1994 and were able to withstand being sprayed with glyphosate. This drastically increased glyphosate exposure and chemicals in American food. Glyphosate is also sprayed on wheat products as a drying agent right before harvesting.


The WHO and the EPA have looked at the same data on glyphosate, but have come to startlingly different conclusions. In 2022, a federal court examined the EPA’s safety determination on glyphosate and determined it was not supported by substantial evidence. The EPA did not consider the animal studies that showed the connection between glyphosate and cancer, and the court deemed that this was a disregard of tumor results.


Cancer is not the only health risk associated with glyphosate exposure. For years, it was argued that because glyphosate kills plants through the shikimate pathway, it is safe for humans since we do not have this pathway. However, our gut bacteria do have this pathway!


Non-Hodgkin lymphoma rose by 90% between 1950 and 1999. Today, 80,000 Americans are diagnosed every year. Bayer, the company that bought Monsanto, has paid out over 11 billion dollars in Roundup cancer settlements.


In 2023, Bayer removed glyphosate from at-home Roundup, replacing it with diquat dibromide, fluazifop-p-butyl, triclopyr, and imazapic. This new formulation is 200 times more toxic than glyphosate.


To reduce glyphosate exposure and minimize the consumption of toxic chemicals in food, do the following:


1. Opt for organic when possible

2. Replace cereals with a protein breakfast

3. Support gut health with fermented foods

4. Test urine for glyphosate levels

Why is Roundup in 87% of American children?

0:05.0

I live in the country, I'm driving on the street, I look over into the field, there's a man

0:10.0

with a full hazmat suit, gloves, respirator, head to toe protection, and he's spraying

0:16.0

something on the crops. That chemical, which we're going to talk about, ends up in the bread, cereal, oatmeal,

0:22.3

baby food, beer, wine, and the CDC has actually tested the urine of children and found something

0:28.0

startling. Eighty-seven percent of these kids tested positive for it in their urine. 80 percent of

0:35.1

adults tested positive for it. We're talking about the chemical called

0:39.3

glyphosate. The World Health Organization says it probably causes cancer. What does that definition

0:44.4

of probably mean? Well, it means likely, but there is conflicting information because the EPA

0:50.8

said it's safe. Don't quote me on the time frame, but it was at least three years ago.

0:56.6

The federal court looked at the EPA's work.

1:00.3

And unfortunately right now, the government is trying to make sure that you can never sue over

1:04.1

that.

1:05.1

Roundup Ready has been around since 1974.

1:08.2

For 20 years, farmers and landscapers used it to kill weeds.

1:11.6

Then in 1994, everything changed.

1:14.6

Companies introduced something called genetically modified crops,

1:18.6

engineered to survive being drenched with this Roundup herbicide.

1:23.6

Over 200 million pounds of Roundup is currently being sprayed over American farmland.

1:28.8

But here's what people don't know. Roundup is not just sprayed on the crops growing. It's also

1:32.9

sprayed on wheat, oats, barley, right before they harvest it as a drying agent. So the highest

1:40.4

chemical residue is on the food that's about to go into your kitchen. The CDC tested over 2,000 Americans.
