Much of the public forgets the gut when it comes to warding off the
flu and other more threatening diseases, but the gut—and its army of
beneficial bacteria—are essential in protecting us from harm. That’s why
eating genetically modified and/or conventionally farmed food could be a
direct assault on your own health. Most recently, research has shown
that Monsanto’s herbicide, known as Roundup, is destroying gut health,
threatening overall health of animals, people, and the planet
significantly.
The journal Current Microbiology recently published a study that caught Monsanto’s Roundup herbicide’s active ingredient, glyphosate, suppressing beneficial bacteria in poultry specimens. Given that gut health is directly linked to chronic illnesses and overall health, this isn’t exactly welcome news for people who can’t always afford or who lack access to organic, locally grown food.
