It kills weeds by targeting the enzymes that produce the amino acids tyrosine, tryptophan and phenylalanine. It can enter the body directly through the skin, eating treated foods or drinking contaminated water. It is known to disrupt the microbiome of many animals, including humans and consequently, has been related to metabolic disorders, diabetes, depression, autism, cardiovascular disease and autoimmune conditions. Recent studies have also correlated exposure to glyphosate with many chronic health problems including hypertension, stroke, diabetes, obesity, intestinal infections, dementia, Parkinson’s, MS, inflammatory bowel disease, renal disease and cancer.
