i truly believe that glyphosate and that the pesticides that are sprayed on our
food are one of the main reasons that cancer has exploded over the past however many years
what's going on everybody schuyler diehm here men's fitness coach and in this video we are
diving into the facts is glyphosate is roundup safe now if you don't know what roundup is roundup
is basically the generic weed killer that's used especially in the united states and so as a weak
killer to herbicide so it kills other weeds and on their website they list that it is great for lawns
driveways patios and gravel tree rings and mulch beds vegetable gardens flower beds and garden prep
poison ivy and tough brush and fence alliance and foundation so if you don't have roundup in your
house your neighbor probably does right it's the generic one there's commercials on hulu now like
this is a product that has been heavily advertised and is heavily bought along with that especially
in the united states it is the herbicide that is used the most often with conventional crops so it
is heavily heavily sprayed on crops especially now that things can be genetically modified to
be herbicide resistant uh it basically allows you to spray more on the crops than you would if they
weren't resistant and so there's been a lot of back and forth the past few years is roundup safe
and so in this video i want to dive into the facts not only to help you understand a little bit about
roundup and if it's healthy or not but also to help you understand a little bit more about what's
going on in the world because what we're about to talk about is something that doesn't just apply to
roundup but is occurring over and over and over in our current society and so is roundup healthy
no roundup has a very very sketchy history it has a very sketchy past and when i kind of go
into what's been going on behind the scenes with them even if you aren't really aware even if you
don't want to believe what i'm saying you're still going to believe their response to what
i'm saying right you're still going to believe how they handled everything that's going on and so for
a little background monsanto tried to basically change the public opinions ideas of roundup in
2015 the world health organization's cancer arm so their international agency for research on cancer
declared that the active ingredient in roundup which is glyphosate is a probable human carcinogen
and so once this was revealed they banned it from every ingredient right no not at all so
what monsanto did because it's a massive massive company with a lot of capital is they went out
and they basically sent a pr team to change the opinions of other people and so with their
manipulation of the story a lot of other news outlets played into this as well and so if you see
a couple of these popped up on the screen you have things like npr saying glyphosate has been widely
considered among the safest pesticides you have the huffington post you can drink a whole court
of glyphosate and it won't hurt you you have the guardian weed killer suspected of causing cancer
deemed safe you have cbs news from a monsanto scientist the data they look at they cherry pick
it and then they interpret the studies completely different than research you actually did
reuters u.s epa says glyphosate not likely to be carcinogenic to people
other routers agencies across the world take life state safe and the iarc reports flawed analysis
uh slate the chemical is not carcinogenic and it's less toxic than common chemical goals like asper
now without any other data your first instinct if you would be to saw this if i saw this right
without any other data my instinct would be that it's safe that's not a carcinogen that
they went out and they cherry pick studies and that roundup is safe now here is where things
get a little tricky so in 2019 this is about four years after that first announcement by the world
health organization a federal jury unanimously determined roundup weed killer is responsible for
causing cancer in this case edwin hardiman claimed roundup exposure caused his non-hodgkin's lymphoma
and because they lost the damages there were 289 million dollars that they had to pay out that's
a pretty penny but along with that there was an earlier case in which monsanto was ordered to pay
78.5 million dollars to a californian man after a jury found them liable for failing to warn that
roundup causes cancer and so if we think about this right these are literally only two cases
brought to court think about if this is unanimous if this is true that roundup is causing cancer
how many other people around the world have been impacted this and have had no idea that roundup
was the cause and so after this decision you'd think hey there's probably going to be changes
right maybe we'll stop using roundup and crops maybe it won't be available for sale anymore
unfortunately that's not true and so what i did i went over to bayer's website went
over to their response for roundup and i found that they actually had a five point plan now
let's take a look at this plan because it's really really interesting so five-point plan at a glance
number one seek positive ruling from the u.s supreme court so all they're looking
to do is change the court's decision number two activate claims program to manage future cases aka
basically saying we're going to budget so we can pay you out when our product does cause cancer and
you want to sue us number three continue to manage current cases again manage not making any changes
number four okay so this is a little hopeful right introduce new us lawn and garden formulations
now let's open this up to further reduce future litigation risk we will replace our glyphosate
products in the u.s residential lng market with the new formulations that have alternative active
ingredients beginning in 2023 and then the next sentence is basically them trying to say that
they're not guilty we are taking this action exclusively to manage litigation risk and not
because of any safety concerns the vast majority of claims have come from residential lng users
so this action largely eliminates the primary source of future claims and then five is promote
new safety study web page now number four this is blowing my mind um this should scare or not
scare but this should frustrate every single one of you so if we look at this number one glyphosate
is the main herbicide used in conventional crops conventional meaning that we have no control over
this there are food companies out there spraying glyphosate on our vegetables our fruits our foods
and this is causing a lot of damage and the reason that there's been no claims is because how do
we make that connection as consumers if i just develop cancer one day how can i backtrack that
to the vegetables i ate from a large massive producer that have sprayed those crops with
glyphosate and so if we look at this on a very legitimate level so number one it's the most
widely used herbicide so it's going to be on most things so if you're buying conventional you're
probably getting it but then to make it worse gmo crops are now genetically modified to be resistant
to this herbicide so that they can be drenched even more where if they weren't resistant to it
they could only spray in a little bit before it actually killed the fruit or vegetable but because
they're resistant they can now spray as much as they want now i'm going to make a statement that
i have no data for this is a personal opinion i truly believe that glyphosate and that the
pesticides that are sprayed on our food are one of the main reasons that cancer has exploded over
the past however many years all right if we look at this our body is excellent at expelling toxins
and getting them out of our body but if we're just consistently overwhelmed our body can't work
fast enough to get them out and so when we're consistently consuming toxins from boxed goods
from modified wheat that's been drenched with glyphosate from fruits and vegetables all of a
sudden this buildup can cause disease like cancer and then the other thing here that i'm just not
happy about is that they're starting in 2023. so as i'm recording this it's october of 2021 so it's
literally over a year before they're gonna make any changes to the formulation now to me this is
enough evidence to know that companies literally do not care about us at all and it's one of the
main drivers for me with eating healthy is i know that if i eat healthy if i stay focused on clean
ingredients if i don't support these companies that are just trying to make a buck off me
in exchange for my poor health then i have a better chance of living an incredible life of not
being tired all the time not getting sick all the time not developing things like cancer dementia
alzheimer's any of these things that can come from certain consumption of food and ingredients and
so really along with that another big thing is it just goes to show like a lot of people walk into a
grocery store thinking hey if there if people are selling this if this is legal it must not be that
bad for me but it's just not true you know we're living in a day and age where disease is exploding
where people are on i think an average of three or four prescriptions based on every single human
being so it's people on lots and it's just it's disappointing it's upsetting it's frustrating
but it's also a reason for me to stay more motivated with my mission of spreading this
idea of health of helping people take control of their health and it's why with our coaching
program you know fasting is included to expel all those toxins to also speed up your metabolism and
make it easier for you to lose weight and stay in control but also there's that level of awareness
and mindfulness where we educate you about what's going on with certain ingredients so that you're
more aware to avoid them which again doesn't mean cutting out your favorite foods because you can
still have an apple that's organic compared to an apple that's sprayed with glyphosate
all right and that applies with every food there's always a food that's going to be a smarter choice
even cake brownies cookies like we still eat those as we lose weight as we get healthy we just do
it in a very intentional way to choose the right ingredients and of course eat them in moderation
so i'm really curious if you could leave me a comment below what are your thoughts on this you
know glyphosate roundup is something that i was blown away as they were advertising on hulu the
other day and i see them just growing and growing and there seems to be so much capital behind them
but i also know that there's a time and a point where things come to light and people really do
make changes and i just hope that that's soon so i'd love to hear your opinion i'd love to have
a discussion in the comments of anything and of course make sure to reach out if you need
anything check the link in the description for a deeper insight of what we do with our clients
and how we help them with fasting fitness and mindfulness and awareness besides that make sure
to subscribe to the channel make sure to reach out if you need anything and of course as always
make sure to eat smart move more sleep deep and be grateful for this moment see in the next video
