Study: Monsanto’s Roundup causes \u201cgluten intolerance\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

A recent study proposes that gluten intolerance and celiac disease are on the rise as a result of glyphosate, the main ingredient in Monsanto’s Roundup herbicide.<\/span><\/p>\n

The National Library of Medicine states that celiac disease \u201cdamages the lining of the small intestine and prevents it from absorbing parts of food that are important for staying healthy. The damage is due to a reaction to eating gluten, which is found in wheat, barley, rye, and possibly oats.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

The study authors, Anthony Samsel and Stephanie Seneff, have a different view. They point out that this rise in celiac disease parallels the increase in the use of Roundup, and the effects of glyphosate are those listed for celiac disease.<\/span><\/p>\n

Here is the abstract of their study [Interdisciplinary Toxicology, http:\/\/www.intertox.sav.sk\/<\/a>, 2013, Vol. 6 (4), 159-184]: \u201cGlyphosate, pathways to modern diseases II: Celiac sprue and gluten intolerance\u201d:<\/span><\/p>\n

(Click here<\/a><\/span><\/span> for the .pdf document of the report. See also this link<\/a>.<\/span><\/span>)<\/p>\n

\u201cCeliac disease, and, more generally, gluten intolerance, is a growing problem worldwide, but especially in North America and Europe, where an estimated 5% of the population now suffers from it. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cSymptoms include nausea, diarrhea, skin rashes, macrocytic anemia and depression. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt is a multifactorial disease associated with numerous nutritional deficiencies as well as reproductive issues and increased risk to thyroid disease, kidney failure, and cancer. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cHere, we propose that glyphosate, the active ingredient in the herbicide, Roundup\u00ae, is the most important causal factor in this epidemic. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cFish exposed to glyphosate develop digestive problems that are reminiscent of celiac disease. Celiac disease is associated with imbalances in gut bacteria that can be fully explained by the known effects of glyphosate on gut bacteria. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cCharacteristics of celiac disease point to impairment in many cytochrome P450 enzymes, which are involved with detoxifying environmental toxins, activating vitamin D3, catabolizing vitamin A, and maintaining bile acid production and sulfate supplies to the gut. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cGlyphosate is known to inhibit cytochrome P450 enzymes. Deficiencies in iron, cobalt, molybdenum, copper, and other rare metals associated with celiac disease can be attributed to glyphosate\u2019s strong ability to chelate these elements. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cDeficiencies in tryptophan, tyrosine, methionine, and selenomethionine associated with celiac disease match glyphosate\u2019s known depletion of these amino acids. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cCeliac disease patients have an increased risk to non-Hodgkin\u2019s lymphoma, which has also been implicated in glyphosate exposure. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cReproductive issues associated with celiac disease, such as infertility, miscarriages, and birth defects, can also be explained by glyphosate. <\/span><\/p>\n

\"The<\/a><\/p>\n

\n

\u201cGlyphosate residues in wheat and other crops are likely increasing recently due to the growing practice of crop desiccation [drying] just prior to the harvest. We argue that the practice of \u201cripening\u201d sugar cane with glyphosate may explain the recent surge in kidney failure among agricultural workers in Central America. We conclude with a plea to governments to reconsider policies regarding the safety of glyphosate residues in foods.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

This study could change the way gluten intolerance and celiac disease are understood, and it adds to the growing body of evidence against Monsanto’s Roundup and those GMO crops which require Roundup as the herbicide of choice.<\/span><\/p>\n
