Glyphosate & the Gut
Over half the species of bacteria commonly found in our guts can be damaged or killed if exposed to glyphosate in high enough
quantities. From cancer, to how our bodies absorb nutrients, how our brains deploy serotonin to fight depression and mental illness,
glyphosate is shown to be very harmful to our health.

Letter to NS Minister of Environment
from Margaree Environmental Assoc.
In part:
"The Margaree Environmental Association (MEA) is strongly opposed to the NS Dept. of
Environment's issuing of permits to spray glyphosate herbicide on 1498 hectares of forest land
on mainland Nova Scotia. Furthermore, MEA supports the efforts of individuals and groups
protesting the herbicide spray program, as spraying has been shown to be dangerous to human
health, destructive to the environment, expensive, and totally unnecessary."

Is it time to reassess current safety standards for glyphosate-based herbicides?
Conclusions:
"In this commentary, we have identified factors that heighten concerns over the adequacy of safety assessments, and by extension,
permitted levels of exposure to glyphosate and GBHs. These factors include increased use of GBHs on crops and for non-crop weed control,
leading to measurable concentrations of glyphosate and AMPA in foodstuffs and likely increases in human exposures. The lack of
biomonitoring data and epidemiological studies remain important data gaps. A small number of controlled laboratory studies using
contemporary scientific approaches have identified adverse effects of glyphosate and GBHs at much lower doses than those used to
make risk assessment decisions. Although there is controversy and debate regarding the carcinogenic and endocrine disrupting
potential of these compounds, conclusions such as those drawn by IARC call into question the safety of GBHs beyond "reasonable
certainty of no harm," Considering what is now known about glyphosate from studies published over the last three decades,
as well as the knowledge gaps that continue to raise concerns, we conclude that current safety standards for GBHs are outdated and
may fail to protect public health and the environment."
