Glyphosate, pathways to modern diseases IV: cancer and related pathologies

Can glyphosate’s disruption of the gut microbiome and induction of sulfate deficiency explain the epidemic in gout and associated diseases in the industrialized world?

“…In general, any cell type with a high proliferation rate will need to take up substantial amounts of amino acids for growth, and this puts such a cell at higher risk of glyphosate accumulation. This may explain why Monsanto's early research on radiolabeled glyphosate found the highest accumulation levels in bone marrow [53,54]. What this also implies is that any tissue suffering from metabolic stress and/or injury, necessitating the infiltration of immune cells derived from precursor cells stored in the bone marrow, can expect to receive an unintended supply of glyphosate brought in as "stealth cargo" by the infiltrating immune cells.…”

“…Glyphosate is one such herbicide which is now a major crop management strategy for pre-harvest desiccation of perennial weed control especially with genetically modified (GM) crops. 20 The increased use of glyphosate in the United States has been demonstrated with increase in the incidence and/or death rate of multiple diseases (including cataract) and several cancers (like breast cancer, liver cancer etc.). 21 Multiple genotoxic and potentially carcinogenic metabolites of fructose are plausibly present in foods derived from glyphosate-resistant crops, or as a contaminant in glyphosate-based products, or as a breakdown product generated endogenously following glyphosate exposure.…”

“…By far the highest accumulation was found in the bones (Table 11 in [36]). Radioactive levels in the colon were 4-6 times as high as those in the stomach and small intestine.…”

“…Since Monsanto found bioaccumulation of glyphosate in all animal tissues, with the highest levels in the bones and marrow [35,36], one would expect that all tissues derived from animals fed a diet containing glyphosate residues and used for food by people around the globe would be contaminated. Knowing that the bioaccumulation of glyphosate would be evident in the vast majority of animals raised for market and fed a contaminated diet, as well as their products; and suspecting the possibility of contamination of even the digestive enzymes derived from these animals, one of us (Samsel) decided to analyse random samples.…”
