Zach Bush, MD and merchant of well-being, lays out the whole sorry saga that is glysophate/Round Up and the story of chemical farming.
What Monsanto and the glyphosate saga has helped into existence is a completely new understanding of the role played by the enteric system, the gut and the human biome. The gut membrane, stretched out, is the size of two tennis courts (in comparison, our skin covers less than 2 metres). It is one micron, one-cell thick. This could be considered as either dreadful under-engineering or a clue to how we should be living, given our physical reality.
The gradual damage that has been delivered to the gut membrane over the last 30-40 years has given us clusters of diseases and conditions that are placing immense pressure on both personal and social fronts.
Because of Zach MD, we now have the story - so we can all stop our feverish research and get on with our lives. Thanks Zach, you are a legend. And thank you, Monsanto.
