New study reveals how glyphosate in Monsanto's Roundup inhibits natural detoxification in human cells
(NaturalNews) The modern age of industrial agriculture and manufacturing
has dumped heavy metals, carninogens, plastics, and pesticides into the
environment at alarming rates. These toxins are showing up in most
human tissue cells today. One distinct chemical may be trapping these
toxins in human cells, limiting the human body's ability to detoxify its
own cells. In a new peer reviewed study, this sinister chemical,
glyphosate, has been proven to inhibit the human cell's ability to
detoxify altogether. Glyphosate, found in Monsanto's Roundup, is being
deemed by publishers of the new study "one of the most dangerous
chemicals" being unleashed into the environment today.

most commonly found in conventional sugar, corn, soy and wheat
products, throws off the cytochrome P450 gene pathway, inhibiting enzyme
production in the body. CYP enzymes play a crucial role in detoxifying
xenobiotics, which include drugs, carcinogens, and pesticides. By
inhibiting this natural detoxification process, glyphosate
systematically enhances the damaging effects of other environmental
toxins that get in the body. This, in turn, disrupts homeostasis,
increases inflammation, and leads to a slow deconstruction of the
cellular system. Toxins build up in the gut over time and break down
through the intestinal walls, infiltrating blood, and ultimately passing
through the brain/blood barrier, damaging neurological function.
Important
CYP enzymes that are affected include aromatase, the enzyme that
converts androgen into estrogen, 21-Hydroxylase, which creates stress
hormone cortisol, and aldosterone, which regulates blood pressure.
Getting to the gutEven
as evidence mounts, Monsanto asserts that glyphosate is not harmful to
humans, citing that its mechanism of action in plants (the disruption of
the shikimate pathway), is not present in humans. This is not true.
The
shikimate pathway, which is involved in the synthesis of the essential
aromatic amino acids phenylalanine, tyrosine, and tryptophan,
is present in human gut bacteria, which has a direct relationship with the human body, aiding in
digestion, synthesizing vitamins, detoxifying carcinogens, and
participating in immune system function.
By inhibiting the body's gut flora from performing its essential function in the human body,
glyphosate heightens many health issues facing the Western world today.
These
conditions include inflammatory bowel diseases, Crohn's disease,
obesity, and even dementia and depression. Also, by restricting gut
bacteria from absorbing nutrients, glyphosate voids the body of
essential life-giving vitamins.
Depletion of serum tryptophan and its link to obesityGlysophate's
damaging effects on gut bacteria lead to depleted sulfate supplies in
the gut, resulting in inflammatory bowel disease. As more chemicals are
absorbed from the environment, alterations in body chemistry actively
promote weight gain by blocking nutrient absorption. By effecting CYP
enzymes in the liver, obesity incidence is compounded, impairing the
body's ability to detoxify synthetics chemicals. Since serotonin is
derived from tryptophan and acts an appetite suppressant, the depletion
of tryptophan encourages overeating in the brain, leading to obesity.
In need of urgent, massive awakeningAuthors
of the new review point out that "glyphosate is likely to be pervasive
in our food supply and may be the most biologically disruptive chemical
in our environment."
Monsanto is already lashing back at these claims, calling this peer reviewed
study, "bad science" and "another bogus study." What Monsanto fails to
is mention that most of the studies on glyphosate's "safety" are
conducted by Monsanto themselves, which is bias to the core.
The authors of this new
study instead call out for more independent research to be done to validate
their findings. They are concerned with glyphosate's inhibition of the
cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes in the body, which are hindering the
body's natural
detoxification ability.
There
is certainly a need for more empowering education on chemicals like
glyphosate. There needs to be a kind of public mass awakening that
correlates Monsanto's Roundup with skull and crossbones. If anything,
Americans have the right to know how their food was produced,
engineered, and poisoned, and everyone should pitch in and stop using
toxic glyphosate-laced Roundup at all costs.
