Years ago, we surveyed subscribers about what conditions they got better from. Of the 28 conditions reported by over 3,200 people, digestive disorders topped the list with 85% reporting improvement.
The improvement was substantial, with 80% of those reporting that their digestive disorders were Significantly Improved, Nearly Gone, or Completely Recovered.
Jeffrey Smith published the survey results in a peer reviewed article in the International Journal of Human Nutrition and Functional Medicine. He includes significant research that links digestive disorders to GMOs, Roundup sprayed on GMOs, and the Bt toxin insecticide produced by GMOs. He also shares epidemiological data that shows how multiple digestive disorders are rising in parallel with the increase in GMOs and Roundup in the US.
Now, researchers have conducted a systematic review on the effects of glyphosate on digestion, and the results make it clear what we’ve been saying for years. Glyphosate causes significant damage to multiple aspects of digestion and is likely contributing to the huge jump in digestive disorders and related conditions.
The review found that exposure of glyphosate and its formulations on intestinal microbiota, metabolism and microstructure are able to induce intestinal dysbiosis by altering bacterial metabolism, intestinal permeability, and mucus secretion, as well as causing damage to the microvilli and the intestinal lumen. Additionally, immunological, enzymatic and genetic changes were also observed in the animal models. At the metabolic level, damage was observed in lipid and energy metabolism, the circulatory system, cofactor and vitamin metabolism, and replication, repair, and translation processes. The authors conclude that the types of alterations caused by glyphosate-based herbicides can lead to intestinal and systemic diseases, such as Crohn’s and Alzheimer’s.

Interesting. The truth needs to be told about the dangers of glyphosate and other man made toxins in our environment!
Having had Crohn’s since 1970 (with short bowel syndrome) I went into remission in 2006 when I finally quit consuming products with non-organic corn & GMO’s. I finally quit pop/ soda with that nasty HFCS a few years ago too.
We could cure so many diseases IF corporations actually cared & stopped using these poisons in our food & drinks.
I have been expecting people and animals to be having more and more GI issues. This information should be all over the place. That’s right, it is suppose to be safe. Like so many food additives that are suppose to be safe. I have warned peaople. They do not seem to care. It is terrible. People who know should be taking this seriously. I hope people share this information. If oly a few people believe, that’s something. It’s terrible that the proof of health problems is out there, yet nothing is being done.
How did the people manage to avoid it, and therefore get better? What foods are the most important to eat from organic origins? Does taking Aqueous Humic substances help block absorption of glycophosphate?
thank you for this conformation!
Readers should understand that virtually ALL conventional wheat is sprayed with glyphosate AT HARVEST for the sake of convenience. This means that all conventional flour, and all non-organic breads and other products containing flour, are laced with glyphosate. It doesn’t go away during baking and cooking.
Shortly after moving to our family acreage is when glyphosate first arrived in full force and our farming neighbours jumped on the bandwagon like bees to nectar. Myself included. My digestive system was immediately impacted and has never recovered. I eat a mostly animal based foods diet now. If I stick to no plant based foods I’m good; if I consume plant based foods I have IBS full force, arthritis-like joint and muscle pain and inflammation almost immediately, etc.
If we had an ethically run CDC, EPA, USDA FDA, etc, this study wouldn’t be necessary. It’s disgraceful how we’ve allowed the worst of capitalism to poison the citizenry and get away with it – for DECADES. This issue among many reasons is why I’ll be voting for Robert Kennedy Jr, this November. He’s taken on Monsanto and brought them to their knees.
My colleagues and I had a scientific review published in Chemosphere in May that gave evidence for the synergistic effects of simultaneous exposure to the excessive amounts of imidacloprid, glyphosate and chlorothalonil that began being used in spring of 1994. The review is the first thing on my website (www.judyhoy.com), where it can be read or downloaded. The above named pesticides are three of the top six teratogenic pesticides and three of the most used pesticides in the United States. Likely not a coincidence, specific definitive birth defects that began in spring of 1995 were shown to occur at high prevalence on vertebrate species, especially mammal grazing animals, both wild and domestic. The same birth defects have been occurring on human newborns as well as some defects on humans that can’t be readily observed or measured on other mammals. To see photos of animals with two of the most common birth defects that began occurring on mammals and birds in 1995, type the name of the animal then underbite images or overbite images on Google. Hundreds of photos have been posted on the Internet by observers of animals with those birth defects. Oddly, no one asks what causes it and the news media never covers the birth defects so nothing has been done to mitigate the birth defects.
I get it. Unacceptable. You have identified what is a serious problem, do you happen to have any solutions?
How do we get away from glycol phosphates. It seems like it’s Difficult to get away from this stuff.
Besides organically growing your own food in the backyard and make that kind of a commitment what else can we do?
Is this shared with the EPA and FDA?
Congress?
Who at the government level is in charge of analyzing this data?
When Jeffrey Smith’s video Genetic Roulette; The Gamble of Our Lives first came out
several years ago I wrote a review saying if this video doesn’t Convince you that GMOs and glyphosate are dangerous to your health hopefully this research will.
