Glyphosate is a chemical so dangerous to our health and the environment that it is prohibited for use in organic farming, but is allowed for use in conventional farming practices.
Please take a look at this eye-opening article that proposes a potential reason as to why pesticides such as Monsanto’s glyphosate (Roundup) on our foods contribute to the cancer epidemic.
Cancer researcher and chemotherapy developer Dr Zach Bush veered away from the traditional medical schema of “treating instead of preventing” to research how glyphosate and cancer are linked. He attributes glyphosate to the removal of helpful, cancer preventing carbon molecules made by bacteria and fungi in the soil (and therefore also in our gut).
The good news is that his research found that the carbon molecules from the bacteria and fungi in organic soils had the ability to repair the damage caused by exposure to Roundup and other pesticides.

The link between glyphosate, the active ingredient in many herbicides including Monsanto’s Roundup, and cancer has been a hot topic in recent years. Here’s an overview of the current understanding based on scientific research and regulatory assessments:
Glyphosate and IARC Classification
In 2015, the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), a part of the World Health Organization (WHO), classified glyphosate as "probably carcinogenic to humans" (Group 2A). This classification was based on evidence primarily from studies on animals and some epidemiological studies suggesting a possible association between glyphosate exposure and non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL).
Scientific Studies
Since the IARC classification, numerous studies have investigated the potential link between glyphosate exposure and cancer risk:
Epidemiological Studies
Studies have reported a positive association between glyphosate exposure and certain types of cancer, such as NHL.
Animal Studies
Animal studies have shown mixed results, with some indicating an increased risk of cancer with glyphosate exposure and others showing no clear evidence of carcinogenicity.
Legal and Public Health Impact
Glyphosate has been the subject of numerous lawsuits alleging that it caused cancer in individuals exposed to the herbicide. Some cases have resulted in significant legal judgments against glyphosate manufacturers.
