In the News: Glyphosate (aka; Roundup) Alters our Gut Biome and Makes Us More Susceptible to Covid!

A New Study Finds that Glyphosate Alters Our Gut Microbiome

Over the years, I have written about the impacts that food and our environment have on our health, and this is especially true when it comes to combating the pandemic.  People with diet related illnesses, such as obesity, diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure, liver disease, and cancer, are much more vulnerable to Covid, and often are the people who end up in the hospital, or die from the virus.

A new study, published in the journal Environmental Health Perspectives, lead Dr. Michael Antoniou, head of the Gene Expression and Therapy Group within the Department of Medical and Molecular Genetics at King’s College in London, and Dr. Robin Mesnage, a research associate in computational toxicology within the same group, found that the weed killing chemical glyphosate can alter one’s gut microbiome, which is linked to many negative health outcomes.

More and more research is coming out on the importance of a healthy gut to prevent inflammation in the body, which seems to be at the root of so many diseases, and the disruption of that system is a real problem.

To safe guard yourself and your family from many of the chemicals found in our food, purchase organic products when ever possible.
