👣One step forward... 300 steps back.
Take a close look at this powerful visual—it's a stark reminder of how pervasive glyphosate (the active ingredient in Roundup) has become in our food system. From proteins and healthy fats to dairy, fruits, veggies, and whole grains, residues are showing up across the board.
What's the real issue with ? Emerging research points to serious concerns:
• Disruption of the gut microbiome: Studies show low-dose exposure (even near accepted daily intake levels) can deplete beneficial bacteria like Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium, while promoting inflammation and altering gut homeostasis.
• Impacts on the environmental/soil biome: Glyphosate affects soil microbes critical for nutrient cycling and plant health, potentially reducing food nutrient quality and ecosystem resilience.
• Potential links to increased cancer risks: The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) classifies it as "probably carcinogenic to humans" based on limited human evidence and stronger animal data—though agencies like the EPA disagree on the strength of the link. There is also newer studies coming out with strong links.
Bottomline: Bad soil biome = less nutrient-dense food, poor building blocks and impaired repair processes for our bodies. Poor gut biome = cascading negative effects on our health and immunity.
We deserve better—cleaner farming practices, more transparency, and food that truly nourishes us. What are your thoughts? Have you switched to organic or regenerative sources to minimize exposure? Let's discuss below. ⤵️
