38. Actually, glyphosate messes up so many pathways in our bodies - interesting study with Danish cows

So being anti Monsanto equals anti-vax......you forgot to throw in the chemtrails. You guys usually throw that in. Monsanto talking points. Hey, I prefer my food to be organic - SO I MUST BE CRAZY!!

There are differing opinions about the safety of this herbicide because long-term toxicology
studies have not been conducted and the EPSPS enzyme is absent in
humans and animals [6]. However, inhibition of EPSPS is not the
only activity of glyphosate in warm blooded animals. Other inhibited
pathways are reported such as Cyp450 aromatase inhibition, genotoxic
activity [7], teratogenic activity [8]
and trace element chelation [9-11].
