Re: Glyphosateâs Suppression of Cytochrome P450 Enzymes and Amino Acid Biosynthesis by the Gut Microbiome: Pathways to Modern Diseases

**"* F* <c*@mail.com>**

When I read any article that has really, really broad claims I'm always suspecious. So I tend to discount products that are touted to cure everything from diabetes to cancer, and I doubt those who claim something is the  /cause/ of everything from diabetes to cancer as well. Gardeners know that things are much more complicated than that. It's impossible to seperate out a human's exposure to glyphosate from their diet, simultaneous exposure to  /other/ chemicals, and their genetics. We also know that may products containing glyphosate also contain other chemicals and these are often more problematic than the glyphosate. (Surfactants in Roundup and their toxicity to fish, for example.) I'm no fan of Monsanto and belive that products that contain glyphosate are to be used cautiously in last-resort situations. But I do not belive that studies that show such products as causing everything from ADD to baldness do us any good when trying to pursuade people to "first do no harm."
