Understanding the Effects of Glyphosate on the Body and Ways to Reduce It
Paula Gallagher on
Glyphosate, a key ingredient in popular herbicides like Monsanto's Roundup, has become a controversial subject because of its potential impacts on human health. The U.S. agricultural industry sprays it on almost 90% of our wheat crops. Furthermore, crops like corn and soy are genetically modified to withstand larger and larger amounts of Roundup. Therefore, glyphosate is everywhere. Long-term exposure to this chemical may lead to health problems such as cancer, endocrine disruption, and liver damage.
Effects of Glyphosate on the Body
Glyphosate works by targeting enzymes that are essential for plant growth, but it can also affect enzymes present in human cells, thus leading to adverse health effects. Several studies have linked glyphosate exposure to health problems such as non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, birth defects, and ADHD. Furthermore, according to the World Health Organization, glyphosate is classified as a "probable carcinogen" to humans.
Testing Glyphosate Levels
To test for glyphosate levels in your body, you can obtain a urine test from Village Green Apothecary. This non-invasive lab test can measure glyphosate levels in your body. Determining the route of introduction and avoiding future exposure are important aspects of treatment.
Ways to Reduce Glyphosate Levels in the Body
To reduce glyphosate levels in your body, you can take the following steps:
- Choose organic foods: Select organic produce or foods that are marked "glyphosate-free" or "non-GMO."
- Eat a balanced diet: A healthy diet rich in fruits and vegetables provides essential nutrients that can help flush out toxins from the body.
- Detoxify the body: Incorporate detoxifying practices such as sauna sessions or simple cleanses can help reduce the amount of toxins in the body – for example, drinking plenty of water.
- Supplements: Daily gentle cleanses can help support the major systems: liver, lungs, lymphatic, kidney, colon and skin. Adding fiber is also an effective tool to help move toxins out of the body.
