This isnt related solely to Glyphosate, but in Germany Parkinson is being recognised as a “condition caused by working co editions” for farmers and Thier exposure to herbicides (etc.) in general
" it is unequivocal that exposure to glyphosate produces important alterations in the structure and function of the nervous system of humans, rodents, fish, and invertebrates."
Glyphosate has also been linked to gluten intolerance: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3945755/
Maybe at some point, all the “gluten free” products will switch to “glyphosate free”. Until then, I’ve been buying imported flour from Italy, where its use is significantly more regulated than here in the US, although not entirely banned.
So following this logic, am I a plant?
Who told you to say that‽
Who do you work for!?!
Awfully big words, for someone who doesn’t believe in germ theory.
holup, what? This guy is working on Victorian era medical knowledge? Is his idol Robert Liston??
Theodoric of York.
You know, medicine is not an exact science, but we are learning all the time. Why, just fifty years ago, they thought a disease like your daughter’s was caused by demonic possession or witchcraft. But nowadays we know that Isabelle is suffering from an imbalance of bodily humors, perhaps caused by a toad or a small dwarf living in her stomach.
Who would’ve predicted modern toxic bro culture leading to the resurfacing of miasma theory? But at this point I wouldn’t be surprised to hear him start talking about imbalances of black bile and phlegm.
RFK has never been about science.
He was a paid antivax advocate, for money, now he’s a paid glyphosate advocate, again for money.
Or, it’s just an excuse for concentration camps. Great.
So does it go after organic tissue or not, because last time I checked I’m pretty certain that plants are organic. No one has plants in their stomach either. What a prat.
What I think he’s trying to say is that Glyphosate affects the shikimate pathway, which is a biological pathway in plants. This doesn’t exist in human cells, but it does exist in our gut microbiota.
We also know now that Glyphosate is a glycine analogue and can displace glycine anywhere in protein synthesis, with unknown effects. It’s also likely an endocrine disrupter.
It’s found in plants and bacteria so it’s not actually exclusively plants which is why in most countries you’re not allowed to use it as a weed killer.
You’re saying a lot here and I’m sure it’s valid and interesting but let’s make this easy: If it’s not food, it shouldn’t go in the food supply unless the benefits to consumers outweigh costs.
But you’re talking about US policy, so the actual metric is that it shouldn’t go in the food supply unless the benefits to corporations outweigh the costs.
You’re giving him far too much credit and help being cogent…
It always puzzles me why otherwise intelligent people go so far to make excuses for morons who obviously don’t know what they’re talking about.
Is he wrong then for banning its use?
Do you think they had a meeting to come up with this bullshit or all it took was a shower?
I think they all met in the shower. It was chaotic to say the least.
Is this RFKJ’s broken clock moment?
Or am I reading into this wrong? Cuz AFAIK glyphosate is in fact bad for the environment and the food chain including us.
No, he’s saying glyphosate is safe for animals.
Thank you. I tried re reading it in “gargling sand” voice but I still couldn’t figure out what he meant.
Is that really what he said? Lol
Apparently he’s saying it’s safe? I honestly dont know wtf he’s saying
As if denying millions of Americans access to proper healthcare wasn’t enough, they appointed an anti-science, anti-vaxx idiot as if to make sure even more harm would be inflicted on them.
Ofc the digestive flora is plants. Man the level of stupidity. Just as dumb as the orange dumbass talking about asylum seekers being release from mental asylums… What a time to be alive.
Despite the world flora, the digestive system is largely populated by bacteria, not plants
Yes, I am fully aware of that contrary to RFK. It is kind of sad to see people with no credentials running everything…
I’m honestly not sure if OP knew this or was expressing dismay at the idea
Sometimes I have this weird theory that RFK Jr is really like a Dr. Zoidberg type alien in a skin suit. He just kind of guesses at how human anatomy works because he isn’t human himself and isn’t professional enough to get a real education on the subject.
“I took the liberty of fertilizing your caviar”
– RFK jr
At least Zoidberg means well, RFK Jr. has more in common with the brain slugs or the gas station egg salad sandwiches
If it’s his brain worms speaking, that would explain a lot.
It’s hard to say what’s more farfetched, that he is a Zoidbergian alien, or that The Kennedys were just raised that far from any level of anything resembling actual human reality?
heredetary power is a form of abuse.
Here’s the new theory I’m pushing:
Have you ever seen RFK in the same room as the Necronomicon? Just something to think about.
Eerily accurate
well actually the aliens in the MIB controlling the meat suit.
Sorry i can’t keep track of every single retard with a microphone in the US, who is this guy, how did he afford a nice suit, and in what situation is he saying this? ( Im not going to ask what his alma mater is because whatever he got taught in the past it has nothing to do with what he is saying)
One of the kennedys that became republican because he had a drug filled, worm filled life. the heroin/carcass eating likely permanantly damaged his brain. and its the only kennedy that dint have a severe medical condition, or die from a horrible event.
how did he afford a nice suit
Ooh I know that one ! It’s because of the “K” in RFK, which means “Kennedy”
i think he’s the current secretary of health
You know he went to Harvard, no need to be coy
And this isn’t science!
WTF
One with frontotemporal dementia that has rapidly shrinking brain, the other one with half a brain eaten by the worm… in what fucking timeline do we live… feels like Rick and Morty episode… fuck. me.
destroyed by HEROIN worms.
Heroin-fueled brain worms, allegedly contracted from (knowingly and voluntarily) eating rotten meat on a semi regular basis*
he did train an falcon to bring him RATS to eat.
The timeline where Americans collectively lose their minds and make shit loads of money uploading youtube videos about it.
