If the roundup was not absorbed into the plant it would not stimulate growth. So its pretty clear that discarding the husk does not remove the glyphosate.

Huh? Glyphosate is used to KILL plants, not to stimulate growth.

Stressed or dying plants put their last bit of energy into their reproduction process. Also, killing an entire field allows for more uniform and earlier harvests, better timing for weather and harvesting considerations, such as availability of contracted machinery, labor, etc.

Any chemicals applied within a few weeks of harvest become part of the plant, including its seeds/grain.

Humans have symbiotic relationships with microbes within our intestinal tracts. We're only being to realize this complicated process that affects not only our digestion, but our entire metabolic system including our brains.

Roundup Sprayed on Dozens of Crops Pre-Harvest
by Sarah Pope MGA

The currently accepted view is that glyphosate is not harmful to humans or any mammals. This flawed view is so pervasive in the conventional farming community that Roundup salesmen have been known to foolishly drink it during presentations!

Just because Roundup doesn’t kill you immediately doesn’t make it safe though! The health-robbing effects are actually slow and insidious over months and years.

The decline in health occurs because glyphosate lethally disrupts the shikimate pathway found in beneficial gut microbes. This probiotic pathway is responsible for the synthesis of critical amino acids and the cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes. CYP enzymes are used by the body to detoxify the multitude of foreign chemical compounds and xenobiotics. No matter where we live, we are exposed to these toxins in our modern environment every single day.

As a result, people exposed to glyphosate residue through the ingestion of food crops treated with it just before harvest become even more vulnerable to the damaging effects of other chemicals and environmental toxins they encounter! This is possibly the worse result of glyphosate exposure. It makes you a sitting duck for any other toxins you encounter.

In addition, by significantly disrupting the functioning of beneficial bacteria in the gut, permeability issues related to the intestinal wall can occur over time. This slow degradation of gut function encourages the development of a myriad of autoimmune disease symptoms. These diseases include celiac disease, food allergies, Crohn’s, IBS, asthma, ulcerative colitis, MS, lupus, eczema, cancer, and the list goes on and on.

Do your own research, of course. It's your life, health, and pocketbook.

Glyphosate was originally invented as a growth stimulant that had the side effect of killing the plant it accelerated.
