World News See other World News Articles Title: Glyphosate (Horse's Notes for next article)) Glyphosate binds with Calcium, Magnesium, Manganese, Iron, molybdenum, cobalt and Boron. This is very bad for plant health and human health. Glyphosate is a carcinogen. It is also found in groundwater and surface water. The amount of glyphosate permitted in drinking water in the U.S. is shockingly higher than it is in Europe. The U.S. permits 700 micrograms per liter, whereas the level allowed for pesticides in Europe is one tenth of a microgram. Glyphosate also effects microorganisms that interact with plants. Certain bacteria, for example, transform nitrogen in the atmosphere into nitrogen-containing compounds (e.g., ammonia) that plants can use. This is known as nitrogen fixation. Reduced nitrogen fixation has been reported both in glyphosate-resistant soybeans and in non-glyphosate-resistant soybeans exposed to spray drift rates of glyphosate. In other research, beneficial bacteria that resisted fungal pathogens and provided manganese in a form that could be taken up by plants, were significantly reduced by glyphosate. Manganese-deficient plants are more vulnerable to root-infecting pathogens. According to the authors of this review, “… food and feed derived from GBH [glyphosate-based herbicides] treated plants can contain significant amounts of glyphosate and AMPA residues and probably also residues of formulants such as POEA.” POEA (polyethoxylated tallowamine) is a surfactant that is added to increase glyphosate’s penetration of the leaf surface.) POEA and several other “formulants” – allegedly inert substances that are added to Roundup – have been found to be far more toxic than glyphosate. Mimics Glycine. Not good for neural networks. Authors thinks it might be linked to autism. (You can skip the next paragraph) We postulate this harmful glycine mimetic to act by exerting a direct molecular disruption to calcium regulatory factors for neurons. This disruption appears to occur in a time sensitive, rather than a strictly dose-dependent manner, leading to haphazard disorganizations of the normally carefully choreographed steps of early neuronal migration. Within this analysis, we find support for the contention that a strong candidate for the putative harmful glycine mimetic is glyphosate, the active ingredient in the pervasive herbicide Roundup®. In addition to glyphosate’s molecular similarity to glycine, glyphosate is known to have a propensity to avidly bind minerals such as manganese and magnesium, which minerals are implicated in the normal functioning of several al neuronal calcium inflow regulatory factors. Poster Comment: This next article will be on GMOs. It will come in several parts. Part one will be Glyphosate. Tom Vilsack, Mr Monsanto, is Secretary of Ag under Biden. Ditto under Biden. He is a Dem, former Governor of Iowa. Post Comment Private Reply Ignore Thread
