Well SupportedSperm counts in industrialized countries have decreased by 52-62% over the past 40 years, leading to one in three males being infertile.Well SupportedDaily ingestion of glyphosate acts as an antibiotic in the gut, decimating the microbiome.Well Supported100% of a studied population had glyphosate in their urine, suggesting it is nearly impossible to avoid.Well SupportedOver 90-100% of people have detectable levels of glyphosate in their biology, indicating widespread environmental exposure.Partially Supported

Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.

Low levels of glyphosate exposure can cause gut membrane tight junctions to break down within three minutes.

Partially SupportedOrgan supplements sourced from New Zealand and Australia are superior in quality due to regenerative farming practices compared to sources in Chile and Argentina.

Partially SupportedMany ex-vegans report health improvements using beef organ supplements to reintroduce animal foods.

Partially SupportedRegenerative agriculture can help the Earth inhale atmospheric carbon back into the soil, potentially leading to increased plant life and greenery.

Partially SupportedCancer incidence in the US shifted from the Northeast to the Deep South between 1995 and 2005, correlating with increased glyphosate accumulation in water systems.

Partially SupportedGlyphosate is water-soluble, allowing it to permeate plant systems and accumulate in the environment, contaminating 75% of the air and 85% of rainfall.

Partially SupportedGlyphosate blocks the shikimate pathway, which is essential for producing nine amino acids that humans cannot synthesize.

Partially SupportedGlyphosate increases the trans epithelial electrical gradient (TEER), a correlate for leaky gut.

Partially SupportedGlyphosate has been patented as an antimicrobial, antiparasitic, and antifungal agent.

Partially SupportedGlyphosate was designed to block the shikimate pathway in plants, preventing protein synthesis and causing death.

Partially SupportedGlyphosate is present in every part of the global ecosystem due to its water solubility and distribution through rainfall.

Partially SupportedThe American gut microbiome lost 70-80% of its bacterial species by 2010 compared to hunter-gatherer populations.

Partially SupportedGlyphosate belongs to the organophosphate family of chemicals, which were initially developed as chemical warfare agents.

Partially SupportedHealthy gut microbiomes, similar to those found in hunter-gatherers, typically contain around 40,000 species of bacteria.

Partially SupportedGlyphosate and organic solvents in the air are problematic for humans.

Partially SupportedAccumulation of glyphosate from 1976-1996 led to the development of obesity, fatty liver, and pre-diabetes/diabetes.

Partially SupportedGlyphosate, the active ingredient in Roundup, was launched in 1976 as a weed killer to replace more toxic chemicals like atrazine.

Not SupportedFarmers in the chemical agriculture model use herbicides and pesticides, often while wearing Hazmat gear.

Partially SupportedThe US federal government has increased the allowable safety threshold for glyphosate in municipal drinking water to 700 parts per billion, compared to European standards of 0.1 parts per billion.

Partially SupportedThe planet may be preparing for the most rapid and extreme Greening in its history due to increased availability of carbon from burned fossil fuels, which biology can utilize.

Partially SupportedAgent Orange, an organophosphate developed by Monsanto, caused health problems like cancer, skin issues, pulmonary problems, and immune deficiencies in exposed individuals.

Partially SupportedEssential amino acids represent approximately 80% of the total amino acid pool.

Partially SupportedIn 2018, Zach Bush observed that organic soils underperformed in nutrient density and vitality compared to conventional chemical agriculture.

Partially SupportedSoil's ability to respire carbon, not just burning fossil fuels, is a primary factor in atmospheric CO2 accumulation.

Partially SupportedAfrica is the only region where sperm counts are slowly recovering.

Partially SupportedGlyphosate causes direct toxicity to human cells at 2 parts per billion, disrupting protein synthesis and integrity.

Partially SupportedWidespread environmental glyphosate saturation has led to the deletion of four critical essential amino acids, contributing to the chronic disease epidemic.

Partially SupportedThe overlap of glyphosate spraying, pork production, and air pollution in Wuhan Province may have contributed to the emergence of a respiratory virus pandemic.

Partially SupportedSupplements from fossil soil are being developed to potentially reverse chronic disease.

Partially SupportedGlyphosate exposure combined with industrial pollution correlates with higher mortality rates.

Partially SupportedRegenerative animal agriculture is a valuable practice for producing meat and organs.

Partially SupportedRegenerative soil has a higher carbon content compared to conventional or organic soil.

Partially SupportedAtmospheric carbon is not the same as particulate pollution, and increased atmospheric carbon can benefit plants.

Partially SupportedNew diseases such as gluten sensitivity, celiac disease, fibromyalgia, poly aromatic conditions, and chronic regional pain syndromes emerged and affected vast populations in industrialized countries between 1996 and the early 1990s, correlating with the accumulation of organophosphates and disruption of nature.

Partially SupportedIn vitro fertilization is a last resort for species reproduction due to degrading sperm proteins and structures, making natural conception impossible in the next two decades.

Partially SupportedGlyphosate exposure can lead to inflammation, an 'autoimmune explosion', and increased risk of lymphomas, leukemias, and sarcomas.

Partially SupportedHealing in regenerative medicine can occur at an exponential rate, reversing decades-long disease processes in months.
