The last Roundup
Forget about trans fats, sugars or allergen warnings.
The FDA is ignoring the greatest threat to your health when it comes to what they require on food labeling.
If they weren’t busy signing loyalty pledges to their big business benefactors, boxes of cereal and loaves of bread would come with the following warning:…
“May cause heart disease, depression, Alzheimer’s, cancer, or gastrointestinal disorders.”
It’s a killer
Does the word “glyphosate” ring a bell?
If not, I’ll bet you’re probably familiar with glyphosate’s brand name.
Glyphosate is the killer ingredient in RoundUp weed killer.
And RoundUp is everywhere.
Your neighbors spray it in their yards and gardens.
It’s used in parks, golf courses, and other public areas. And, of course, farmers spray millions of acres with glyphosate in the U.S. and around the world. After all, it’s a very effective weed killer.
Just one problem. One huge and very serious problem… Because of its pervasive nature, traces of glyphosate creep into our food. And if you eat packaged foods that include soy, sugar, corn, wheat, or canola, you’re essentially eating RoundUp.
A new study from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology shows us why this glyphosate exposure is devastating. Glyphosate inhibits an enzyme that helps us detox.
When glyphosate undoes the action of this enzyme, food chemicals and environmental toxins become more active in our bodies. And the damage takes a terrible toll.
Brace yourself.
Here’s a quote from the study… “Negative impact on the body is insidious and manifests slowly over time as inflammation damages cellular systems throughout the body.” (Emphasis added.)
Researchers believe ingesting glyphosate plays a role in gastrointestinal disorders, obesity, diabetes, heart disease, depression, autism, infertility, cancer and Alzheimer’s disease.
And virtually every one of us may be picking up traces of glyphosate every day.
Don’t count on the FDA to change the labeling requirements any time soon.
Monsanto won’t have it!
But with a little diligence, you can dramatically reduce your exposure.
