“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.”

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

If only microrganisms in the human gut used EPSPS, you might find someone who cares about your post. But nothing in the human body uses EPSPS so there is no molecular target. You are attempting to argue something meaningless.

In all studies on the small number of animals that happen to have intestinal flora that contain the EPSPS, none showed any effect from glyphosate consumption.

You want to prevent something that doesn't exist. Seems like a royal waste of time to me, but to each his own.

You do realize he is just a troll. Not necessarily on the Monsanto payroll, but the ordinary kind.
