19. Cancer does exist in pollution-free environments.

Some cancers are genetic. Others occur as a result of aging. It's a complicated disease and no one knows why some people get cancer and others don't.

Having said that, Monsanto is completely evil, and Roundup is poison. They pimp it as safe for mammals because we don't have the shikimate pathway, which glyphosate, the main ingredient in Roundup, targets.

But as it turns out, our gut bacteria, which play a huge role in immunity and health, DO have the shikimate pathway. That is probably how Roundup is making people sick.
