◆Constant exposure to toxins is making us sick in ways we don’t yet fully understand. The collective state of our health in the last 20 years is deplorable. Decades ago, we hardly heard the C-word (cancer). Diabetes was rare. MS, Parkinson’s Alzheimer’s, asthma, ADHD, kidney disease, IBS, obesity, autism, allergies, celiac – these all are common now, even in youth. What the heck has precipitated this state of unhealth? I believe there are several factors and changes in our contemporary world that mitigate against our health, not least of which is the chemicals used so liberally on our food supply. My favorite bully to bully is of course Monsanto (now owned by Bayer Chemicals). It’s a perfect time of year to bring up the subject of Round-Up, AKA glyphosate. Watch carefully for that word on your garden chemical labels, GLYPHOSATE- another word for RoundUp. Avoid it like the plague it is. I do not exaggerate. 80% of our food supply is contaminated with glyphosate. Our wheat is drenched with glyphosate just before cutting! Why? First of course, it efficiently kills all the weeds just before harvest. As well it adds weight ($) to the wheat kernels. But worst of all the poisonous residue stays through milling, processing and the end product. A chilling thought – all those breads, cookies, pasta, pastries laced with glyphosate! Soy, corn, vegetables and fruits are doused as well. Monsanto’s glyphosate toxicity can be found virtually everywhere, in blood and urine samples, breast milk, drinking water and more. So what’s wrong with glyphosate in our food? And can we avoid it?
