Did you actually read the article ? And a couple more related
articles ? The wheat is not GMO , nor are they using the glyphosate
for weed control . They're using it to kill the wheat in a manner
that increases the yield while making it all ripen within a narrower
window - which also maximizes yield . The problem is that the
not-quite-ripe wheat berries absorb some of that glyphosate as they
ripen . I've been criticized here and other places for my stand
that glyphosate is implicated in digestive and auto-immune disorders
in people , livestock , and even in the bees that pollinate treated
plants . Why do you think there's such a market nowdays for "gut
bacteria" AKA probiotics ? It's because glyphosate is also an
antibiotic that kills off the natural bacteria we should have .
That **** ain't good for you .

Hi,
Is there unnatural baacteria when you say natural bacteria?

There can be , but usually the "good" bacteria keep those in check .

Gut disease is partly genetic, partly diet and life style.

Can't argue that . But I can add that manmade chemicals spilling over into
the food supply can also cause - and aggravate existing - problems .

Gluten in wheat is bad. Sugar is bad, heavy meat eating is bad.

Gluten is not bad . Sugar and meat both in moderation are not bad .

When I hear some one boasting (s)he is steak and potato person,
I hear it as I am stupid.


Might just be ignorance ... not everyone is as well-informed on so many
subjects as you -seem- to be ...
