He is not saying you need ESPS. he’s saying if you kill its activity, you will kill some microbes in the gut and others

Once again, humans do not use EPSP synthase. The human body produces all of the enzymes it needs. There is no EPSPS activity in the human body. If you're a plant/weed, Glyphosate is probably going to make it tough on you. If you are a human, this is never a concern. Good thing you are not a weed.

The gut flora of some animals contain EPSPS. The genetic coding for EPSPS is not in the mammalian genome. There is no scientific evidence that consuming Glyphosate has any impact on the EPSPS found in some animals.

Even so, scientific illiterates want to restrict or ban the safest and most effective herbicide ever created. Good thing we don't rely on these same illiterates to feed the world. Anyone invoking the terms "Big Ag" or "Big Oil" or "Big Pharma" is more interested in "Big Government" than they are in conservative principles. Good luck with that.

Once again with the narrow view. EPSPS is not used by animals directly. It is used by bacteria, fungi and plant cells. Organisms that are supposed to remain alive in our guts. Our gut ecosystem is critical and forms the foundation for our body in ways that we are only beginning to understand.

By eating food sprayed with glyphosate, it is harming ALL organisms that use EPSPS within our gut. Altering the natural course of internal microbial life that we have been in symbiosis with for millions of years.

It is also killing bacteria and fungi in soil which we are now learning is most critical for true organic agriculture. Killing the weaker microbes forces farmers to use more artificial fertilizers to make up for the dead soil which further unbalances the soil and kills more microbes. It makes all plants weak from lack of soil diversity and more prone to pests/fungus/weeds (which forces the use of poisons that kill the soil even more). This all makes humans weak from lack of nutrient diversity and is inviting disastrous epidemics to kill us all.

It’s a vicious cycle that must be STOPPED IMMEDIATELY
