I’ve been using it for decades. it’s akin to saying eating fast food on a regular basis is bad for your health. Total BS.
What’s new is how much and how. It didn’t used to be used directly on food then Monsanto started genetically engineering food crops to withstand it. So now it’s in far more of our food than ever before. I’m not saying the alarmists are right, but it’s a legitimate issue to be looked at, not all lies.
Not necessarily. The molecule is a Glycolysis blocker, in a way which many cancers exhibit. Sugar can be broken down partly into building blocks, or fully into energy. It is supposed to go you use it for energy first, and anything left over gets put into growth. Usually the idea is you break it down into energy until the organism is saturated in energy to do work, then the breakdown slows, and building blocks accumulate so cells can proliferate and the organism shifts from survival to growth.
It is one of the reasons a lot of people say, go on a sugar-free diet if you have cancer, because it has been observed a lot of cancer cells exhibited a deranged process which produces a lot of building blocks, and not a lot of energy. You won’t get those building blocks glycolysis produces because there will be no sugar to make them on a sugar-free diet.
Glyphosate mucks up a step of that glycolysis, which causes building blocks to accumulate, and sets in motion one of the factors observed in some cancers.
Now it doesn’t create cancer, but cancer is the process of winning several lotteries, many of which the odds increase if you have won others. So get exposed to glyphosate, and it is possible you have completed one step of getting to cancer, and the increased number of building blocks may cause you to “buy” more lottery tickets, increasing your chance of winning a cancer diagnosis.
I think it probably does something, because exposure correlates with lymphomas, IIRC, but it isn’t a case of it gives it to you or it doesn’t. It just increases the chances. Of course when it is being fed to everyone in everything from cereals to beer, it has the potential to create a lot of cancers.
Nobody claims that anywhere close to 100% of the people even using it heavily get cancer, or anything else, from it.
