Discusses one of glyphosate’s many destructive actions—the inhibition of the intestinal tract’s protective barrier—and reports on how this effect may be helped by using a lignite extract.

Suggests that autism is an epigenetic epidemic provoked by pervasive environmental agents, and that the effects of other triggers are “exponentially” worsened by glyphosate.

Describes the evidence showing that glyphosate, the active ingredient in the herbicide RoundUp, bioaccumulates in breast milk.

Summarizes the contributions of the glyphosate found in the typical American diet to widespread ill health, including gastrointestinal disorders, obesity, diabetes, heart disease, depression, autism, infertility, cancer, and Alzheimer’s disease.

Describes the alarming levels of glyphosate contamination in the American food supply, including some organic foods, and notes that current food safety regulations are inadequate to prevent this contamination.

Offers a comprehensive consensus statement that calls attention to the at least 100-fold increase in the volume of glyphosate-based herbicides applied since the late 1970s; the widespread contamination of drinking water and air and glyphosate’s longer-than-previously-recognized half-life; the rising human exposure to what has “authoritatively” been classified as a probable human carcinogen; and the outdated science that buttresses ineffective regulations.
