The image to the left is the chemical structure of glyphosphate (click here). It is completely obvious it is an organic compound. Organic compounds can enter any living being including plants.
Glyphosphate is killing these necessary microorganisms, contributing to potential problems like leaky gut, which compromises the protective gut lining and allows toxins and bacteria a pathway into the bloodstream.
There have also been numerous recent studies linked to increased instances of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (click here) in farmers who work in close contact with glyphosphate. In fact, these studies suggest that exposure nearly doubles their risk of contracting this disease.
The excessive amount of Roundup that is being poured on crops by non-organic farmers is estimated to be in the millions of pounds. This amount is so excessive that government scientists have recently detected glyphosphate in the air and rain....
Kindly realize glyphosphate is used in Monsanto's Round-Up Herbicide. These are the scientists Pruitt dismissed from the advisory board. Can anyone guess why? Monsanto, that's why.
Besides used as a herbicide on farms and in reducing and eliminateing non-native species, glyphosphate is used on lawns, in driveways, public parks, and basically anyplace where Americans live and breath. There are findings that a trend is developing in people regularly exposed to glyphosphate.
The Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act Scientific Advisory Panel (click here) (SAP) met December 13-16, 2016, to consider a set of scientific issues being evaluated by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regarding EPA's evaluation of the carcinogenic potential of the herbicide glyphosate. The meeting minutes and final report from the meeting are now available.
The minutes and https://www.regulations.gov final report can be found on the FIFRA SAP web site (https://www.epa.gov/sap) and in the OPP Docket # EPA-HQ-OPP-2016-0385 (https://www.regulations.gov). EPA will review this document as well as other comments before making a final determination regarding the potential carcinogenicity of glyphosate.
EPA is currently scheduled to publish the draft glyphosate human health and ecological risk assessments for public comment in 2017. Glyphosate is undergoing registration review, EPA's periodic review of pesticide registrations required under the law to ensure that each pesticide continues to satisfy the statutory safety standard for registration.

Glyphosphate has been considered a very effective and safe compound. The issue with Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma is that it is a 30 year study. That is the outcome to some studies detecting cancer. Initially, there is no problem, but, after 20 + years trends begin to show up and they cannot be ignored. That is what is happening now with Glyphosphate. There are trends that need to be reviewed and decisions made to insure the safety of Americans. This is some of the problem with Pruitt, he does not appreciate the sane methods of scientists that carry out peer reviewed research.
Some sources looking at glyphosphate indicate while alone the compound is safe, but when added to other compounds that create the purpose of the glyphosphate it is dangerous. (click here)
Ultimately, it is the younger generations scientists investigating these chemicals are worried about. Sometimes a 20 to 30 year study seems strange to some people, but, when considering 20 to 30 years from an exposure at this age is profound.
There are issues with some states. California has a large agricultural community. It is seeking to limit exposure by glyphosphate. So, it is time to take a look at this from a solid scientific basis with competent scientists.
