Description:
Today Jeffrey will be introducing new information and new research about Glyphosate and Roundup in our food and how it may be linked to all sorts of problems including impulsive behavior, anxiety, depression, poor sleep, poor appetite, poor memory, et cetera. And it links to something called the Shikimate pathway. Listen to find out more about the controversy surrounding this important pathway.
Key Takeaways:
[0:45] Monsanto has always argued that glyphosate is safe for human consumption because it effects plants’ shikimate pathway - something that plants have but humans and animals do not. Science now tells us that our gut bacteria use the shikimate pathway and it controls the creation of key chemicals in our bodies.
[7:25] Roundup is sprayed in all sorts of growing situations - so it’s in our food supply in a big way. Let’s look at the things it can cause and decide whether those symptoms have increased in the population since its introduction.
[11:04] If you are suffering from anxiety, depression, insomnia, eating disorders, mood disorders, or fatigue, and you’re still eating nonorganic food, please switch to organic and see if you get better. 50% of people that we surveyed, said they saw improvements in these areas!
[17:55] “If you have friends who are saying, "I don't need to eat organic because I don't have any particular disease, et cetera.." Well, their mind may become sharper, their memory may improve, their fatigue level may decrease the brain fog may lift. There's plenty of mental and mood conditions that have been reported as improving when people switch to organic food, and this may be the mechanism.”
