Interesting article despite the ranting alarmist style. Essentially round up is used prior to harvest on USA crops to maximise yield and make harvesting easier. Hypothesis that the addition of poison close to harvest leads to poison in our wheat that we consume and subsequent dietary /inflammatory responses.

    This was also mentioned in Wheat Belly if I recall correctly. Great book!

    I remember seeing that a couple of years ago, my mom shared it to my fb page. I used to be so interested in this stuff until I found that most of what is being circulated is tweaked and misleading. I'm sure there's some truth to it but the way everything seems to be presented as doomsday stuff, I just can't believe anything anymore. It's kind of sad really, there is so much untruth out there that now I can't even bother to research anything because I don't believe any of it. :(

    The late spraying is typically to control onions that seed and the grain elevators will lower the per bushel price if onion heads are found but it is not done right before combining the wheat in my part of the world however.

    Because I left sugar and all forms of grains and added heavy usage of coconut oil at the same time can not say way fixed what. Most of my joint and muscle pain left in 30 days, my long term IBS fully resolved after six months, etc, etc. I call grain a problem food to my body. Yes these kinds of articles have a net harm to the cause for better health I expect.

    Roundup is evil. It should ~ at minimum ~ be listed on every package of every food that it touches ~ with a "dire warning". At best, it should be outright banned. I hope and pray more overseas countries BAN American wheat! (I think many countries ban it now). Here's an article on that:

    When traces of Roundup hit your gut microbiota, it wreaks havoc. Probably, in most people on a "gluten free" diet ate the glyphosate enriched wheat, then the glyphosate killed the gut microbiome that digests the wheat. So its probably the missing gut microbiome, not a "gluten" problem. And that's the gist of your article.
