Should not be sold without a prescription

Prescription? That's lunacy driven by the worst kind of chemicalphobia.

....even in the stores that carry this deadly product

Deadly product? Good grief.

Glyphosate inhibits an enzyme that plants need to grow. The enzyme is called EPSP synthase. Without this enzyme, the plant cannot create the proteins required to grow, which will, eventually, lead to the plant’s death. Because most plants use this enzyme, most are susceptible to glyphosate applications. Humans and animals do not use EPSP synthase.

People fear glyphosate because they don't know what it is. The media and sue happy attorneys count on that ignorance to pursue their agenda. Meanwhile, everyone else gets to enjoy plentiful food at competitive prices.

But the best we can say is that it's effects are unknown when unleashed on human body chemistry, can we not?

Good post, and, most people don't know what sodium chloride is. We live in a science-illiterate world.

“Humans and animals do not use EPSP synthase. People fear glyphosate because they don’t know what it is.”

A great deal of flora in animal guts does require EPSPS. And we are just learning that gut flora affects nearly every body function.

Your gut is meant to have thousands of microorganisms in balance with one another. Eating preservatives, herbicides, pesticides and other poisons kills many of them. Upsetting the balance that can take years to restore. Those pills containing 20 bacteria are not even close to cutting it.

We must STOP spraying and using poisons. Including “organic” ones. I’ve grown my own produce for many years without poisons and simply let nature control the pests by encouraging predators and growing naturally strong plants with organic compost. Worst case, I get a few holes in my food. That’s how veggies were at the market when I was a kid.

Before I started growing my own I was sick every month and tired all the time. I had stomach issues no specialists could explain. Even with a balanced diet and exercise. Since I started growing, I have not been sick in years and feel more energy every year
