First of all, I don't know why this came to me in a flash or why I didn't grasp the concept earlier. I have understood the problem with glyphosate to be one of

• cross-contaminating organic farms via wind and pollination
• depleting our soil of diverse insects, microbes, and nutrients
• placing patents on lifeforms
• commercializing farming practices thus forcing farmers into high yield but lower quality production
• legal action resulting in financially breaking farmers that refuse to participate in purchasing glyphosate resistant seeds

Plants and bacteria-->fructose-->PEP (phosphoenolpyruvate)--> X Chorsimate -->arogenate-->Tyrosine and phenylalanine

Three obvious things are happening here

1. Ordinarily, bacteria in our gut converts fructose to PEP. However, glyphosate blocks the conversion of PEP to chorsimate. PEP builds up and fructose is not broken down leading to fatty liver OR increased LDL and high cholesterol.
2. Chorsimate produces Vitamin D and K. Again, this pathway is interrupted prior to the plant making any Vit. D or Vit. K. We currently have an endemic vitamin D deficiency in the USA.
3. Finally, If the shikimate pathway is interrupted upstream, the end products of tyrosine and phenylalanine are never formed. Tyrosine and phenylalanine are converted into important neurotransmitters such as serotonin, melatonin, melanin, dopamine, and epinephrine.

Do you realize that 90% of our neurotransmitters are made in the gut? If we don't have the bacteria in our gut that make these neurotransmitters, our brains won't work as well as they could.

We are destroying the plant, the nutrition of the plant, and the nutrition of us! We can not douse our food in neurotoxins and expect it not to show up in our bodies.

How about you? Do you have Round Up in your garage? Do you have any farmers in your family that spray their crops with glyphosate? Would you be willing to discuss this with them?
