Your food is TOXIC !

When I bought the property where I now live it was overgrown with Knotweed and other non native weeds. A trip to Rural King netted me a 3 gallon jug of 43% pure Glyphosate, which I used, along with a 6 horsepower weed eater, to wipe out the jungle of weeds over a 2 year period.
It's the other 57% to be especially wary of.
The POEA surfactant in Roundup radically increases (10>100x) GL uptake and toxicity to plants and animals alike.

The glyphosate came with a pamphlet explaining its proper use. There was a page or two detailing its use for zapping small jungles, but dozens of pages detailing its use with "Roundup Ready Crops" (Monsanto's GMO).
It's their business model.....it only kills plants via disruption of Shikimate pathway which animals do not use so it therefore is harmless to mammals and therefore crop residuals are not a problem.
The mission critical problem with this argument is that animals do rely on gut bacteria (which do use the Shikimate pathway) to process and convert food intake to bodily useable forms including vitamins.
The rest of the business model is monopoly control of supply of seeds and tight control of their IP.
This has extended to prosecuting farmers for inadvertently growing windblown RR GMO seeds.

It seems that Monsanto has Genetically Modified several food crops like soybeans and corn to be resistant to direct application with Roundup. It clearly states that the farmer should NOT use Roundup or any glyphosate containing herbicide within 6 weeks of harvest. What guarantee is in place to ensure that this statement is even read, much less actually followed by every farmer in the world.
Pre-harvest herbicide use - Fact Sheet

It has been stated by some that glyphosate is safe to humans when used properly. There is also ample evidence that glyphosate may be harmful if ingested over long periods, even in small concentrations. So, who do you believe, and how much is in YOUR food?
The residue amounts of herbicides incl Glyphosate can vary tremendously.
The very last I believe is Monsanto, there is ample evidence of false reports and errors of omission to gain product registration and high market penetration.
What is not stated by Monsanto is the alteration/destruction of soil microbe and fungal biome, thereby changing soil mineral content availability to the plant and causing plant mineral deficiency diseases.
This plant weakness causes insect/fungus attraction/susceptibility and need for more pesticide usage....so the cycle continues.
Plant mineral deficiency also causes reduction of nutrient quality for the consumer.
Glyphosate kills bacteria (it's in their patents) and does so in the gut (human or animal), altering the gut biome allowing pathogenic gut bacteria to proliferate/dominate.
Reduction in level and spectrum of beneficial gut bacterias causes loss of nutrient conversion and uptake and toxin elimination.
The net result is gut inflammation and permeability of 'wrong' molecules into the bloodstream causing autoimmune condition and oxidative stress.

I recently read a book about the importance of maintaining variety in the gut biome. Quite a revelation. Although written by a doctor I suspect that many of his colleagues are still behind the curve on this.

Unfortunately at the moment our cat is on strong antibiotics so I am hoping his gut biome will recover OK afterwards.
 
We require 'life energy' in addition to the mineral/calorific content of foods, and the only way to get it is to consume trusted organic plant foods.

Life energy...is that like P.O.E.?


I admit that part of my concern may arise from the common physicist's perception of biology and biologists as being not quite fully science;

Watney...it's just botany, not real science..

The primary article does reek of conspiracy theory. That said, didn't the guy that realized that ulcers were caused by bacteria come from Australia? I understand he was treated rather "badly" by the medical profession for quite a while.. until of course, the Nobel Prize..

Parts per billion? Do you open your box of Cheerios in a clean room?, if not, consider all the particles floating in the air & what they may or may not consist of...Get a clue people, that kilo box of corn flakes, you can't begin to find an instrument capable of measuring out a billionth of a kilo...that tiny doggie-hair floating about is way way heavier than a billionth of a kilo.

Depends on the particle/etc. We routinely go more sensitive than that. (I work in medical diagnostics)
 
Wildbrine raw kraut and Redwood Farms Organic Goat Kefir work for me.
Me too..ie the local equivalents.

I just quickly rub/wash my potatoes carrots and pumpkin in the sink and then into a glass baking dish with Himalayan salt and coconut oil and bake at 165C for 30 mins or so until golden brown and slightly crispy....lazy cooking but effective and delicious.

Sometimes there are little pockets of (crunchy) dirt in the mouthful, and I wonder if this is useful for helping populate the gut with useful bacterias.
When I first started pretty much all organic diet I encountered a new found flatulence for a couple of weeks, a sign I took to be a good sign that has subsided.
After six months of eating and enjoying organic, I now find 'standard' veges to be bland and 'empty' and unulfilling.
I also find 'standard' veges can be slightly bitter tasting, this bitter taste reminiscent of pesticides tastes.

I used to talk to my sister about this as she was a microbiologist. It is a big area of research at them moment and has shown how little we actually understand about how large mammals hang together. Each of us is composed of about 10% eukaryotic cells (i.e us) and 90% others. We are a large walking digester to feed the legions of hangers on. In return they provide a fairly major service in keeping us running. From bacteria who live in our noses and fight off invaders for us to the rich gut fauna who actually do most of the work of digestion. Fascinating stuff

In the future doctors will more and more be treating you with suppositories! There are already some experimental treatments being tested which is basically injecting you with someone else's gut biome. (yuk)

Oh and 60% of us have unique colonies of bacteria in our navels. quite why science doesn't know yet 🙂

Haha, Bill, your post reminds me of a talk I went to on the microbiome. I seriously got so lost in the presentation that the only thing I remember was from the Q&A about the difficulty of studying cancer/microbiome relationship in humans: "Patients don't like poop!"

(In terms of getting test samples)
 
And they seriously don't like the idea of someone else's poop being inserted!

ISTR blendtec do a good trade with labs as they need to whizz up the samples. I am sure many lab techs have horror stories about when the lids were not on tight.
 
We have rotor-stator homogenizers which will make blendtec's blush. 🙂 I've never worked directly with stool samples, but it's not off the table for our work, so to speak. And, yeah, the business of doing messy clinical science is not bereft some sticky situations. 😉

There was a huge contribution on twitter with the hashtag #overlyhonestmethods that was beyond hilarious. 4-5 years ago? Talked all about horrible things people did in the name of science.

Anyhow, this has nothing to do with the real and/or imagined toxicities of food.

Where the hell have you been, this is old news! going on for a decade!!

I know it has 😡 But those graphs show how MUCH over the legal limits the doses are in Lots of stuff people eat 😱

Thank goodness GMO's are banned the UK 🙂 but the Really Nasty roundup & similar from other chemical manufacturers are not 😡 Not yet anyway 😉
