Let's talk glyphosate!

I have A LOT to say about glyphosate, but we're going to start with this-

Facts. Science. Evidence. I love it.

I also love farmers and what farmers provide- this is not a knock on conventional farming. But we can't keep turning a blind eye when it comes to our health and wellness- and I see too many patients affected by this.

​"In 2015, the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), part of the World Health Organization, declared glyphosate a “probable human carcinogen.” The popular weed killer can cause non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma and lung cancer in humans; can cause cancer in animals; and can induce DNA and chromosomal damage in mammals and in human and animal cell studies."
Did you read that? Glyphosate can induce DNA and chromosomal damage!

​Glyphosate is the most widely used broad-spectrum systemic herbicide in the world. Glyphosate-based herbicide exposed individuals have a 41% INCREASE risk for Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma.

"All of the meta-analyses conducted to date, including our own, consistently report the same key finding: exposure to GBHs (glyphosate-based herbicides) are associated with an increased risk of NHL (Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma)," the authors wrote in a study published in the journal Mutation Research.

WHY ARE WE ALLOWING THIS TO BE SPRAYED ON OUR FOOD?!

A healthy outside starts from the inside. 

Have a happy and safe Labor Day Weekend,

Don't worry, there will be more to come on this!
