" it is unequivocal that exposure to glyphosate produces important alterations in the structure and function of the nervous system of humans, rodents, fish, and invertebrates."
Glyphosate has also been linked to gluten intolerance: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3945755/
Maybe at some point, all the “gluten free” products will switch to “glyphosate free”. Until then, I’ve been buying imported flour from Italy, where its use is significantly more regulated than here in the US, although not entirely banned.
So following this logic, am I a plant?
Who told you to say that‽
Who do you work for!?!
Awfully big words, for someone who doesn’t believe in germ theory.
holup, what? This guy is working on Victorian era medical knowledge? Is his idol Robert Liston??
Theodoric of York.
You know, medicine is not an exact science, but we are learning all the time. Why, just fifty years ago, they thought a disease like your daughter’s was caused by demonic possession or witchcraft. But nowadays we know that Isabelle is suffering from an imbalance of bodily humors, perhaps caused by a toad or a small dwarf living in her stomach.
It’s always gratifying to see another “old person” in the comments. 😃
I’m not old. I work out in my jeans.
But do you wear an onion on your belt? 😃
Who would’ve predicted modern toxic bro culture leading to the resurfacing of miasma theory? But at this point I wouldn’t be surprised to hear him start talking about imbalances of black bile and phlegm.
What I think he’s trying to say is that Glyphosate affects the shikimate pathway, which is a biological pathway in plants. This doesn’t exist in human cells, but it does exist in our gut microbiota.
We also know now that Glyphosate is a glycine analogue and can displace glycine anywhere in protein synthesis, with unknown effects. It’s also likely an endocrine disrupter.
You’re giving him far too much credit and help being cogent…
It always puzzles me why otherwise intelligent people go so far to make excuses for morons who obviously don’t know what they’re talking about.
Is he wrong then for banning its use?
It’s found in plants and bacteria so it’s not actually exclusively plants which is why in most countries you’re not allowed to use it as a weed killer.
You’re saying a lot here and I’m sure it’s valid and interesting but let’s make this easy: If it’s not food, it shouldn’t go in the food supply unless the benefits to consumers outweigh costs.
But you’re talking about US policy, so the actual metric is that it shouldn’t go in the food supply unless the benefits to corporations outweigh the costs.
RFK has never been about science.
He was a paid antivax advocate, for money, now he’s a paid glyphosate advocate, again for money.

Or, it’s just an excuse for concentration camps. Great.
So does it go after organic tissue or not, because last time I checked I’m pretty certain that plants are organic. No one has plants in their stomach either. What a prat.
Do you think they had a meeting to come up with this bullshit or all it took was a shower?
I think they all met in the shower. It was chaotic to say the least.
This isnt related solely to Glyphosate, but in Germany Parkinson is being recognised as a “condition caused by working co editions” for farmers and Thier exposure to herbicides (etc.) in general
They want to unban gyphosphate so that CERTAIN countries dropping it on their neighbouring country’s fields doesn’t count as committing a warcrime.
Is this RFKJ’s broken clock moment?
Or am I reading into this wrong? Cuz AFAIK glyphosate is in fact bad for the environment and the food chain including us.
No, he’s saying glyphosate is safe for animals.
Thank you. I tried re reading it in “gargling sand” voice but I still couldn’t figure out what he meant.
Is that really what he said? Lol
Apparently he’s saying it’s safe? I honestly dont know wtf he’s saying
Sorry i can’t keep track of every single retard with a microphone in the US, who is this guy, how did he afford a nice suit, and in what situation is he saying this? ( Im not going to ask what his alma mater is because whatever he got taught in the past it has nothing to do with what he is saying)
how did he afford a nice suit
Ooh I know that one ! It’s because of the “K” in RFK, which means “Kennedy”
i think he’s the current secretary of health
One of the kennedys that became republican because he had a drug filled, worm filled life. the heroin/carcass eating likely permanantly damaged his brain. and its the only kennedy that dint have a severe medical condition, or die from a horrible event.
And this isn’t science!
I find it funny how everything with him starts out like. Oh okay yeah that is concerning. Maybe we should look into it. Followed by WTF is this guy smoking and where can I get some?
Edit: Also great video about RFK.
Science is only political because scientists have to continuously convince politicians reality exists.
It’s frustrating that something like climate change is even a political discussion at all. Don’t Look Up captured that frustration really well.
“It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends on his not understanding it.”
Upton Sinclair
Convincing people your interpretation of reality exists is literally all that politics is.
Unfortunately, despite being correct, science is also an interpretation of reality.
Convincing people your interpretation of reality exists is literally all that politics is.
What? No. No, no, you naive fool… many politicians, if not most, don’t believe most of what they’re selling, and don’t give a flying fuck about it.
They’ll sell whatever line the party they’re working for wants them to sell, and they’d just as happily sell the opposition party’s line if it paid better and they could switch without being called a turncoat.
Also, it’s not about convincing people about specific beliefs; most people are mostly already convinced of their worldviews and if they change them it won’t be because of some politician. It’s about convincing them, despite all evidence to the contrary, that the politician shares those beliefs, and will impose them on people who don’t if they vote for them.
despite being correct, science is also an interpretation of reality.
Again, no. Science (except for mathematics, but that’s it’s own thing) doesn’t and shouldn’t ever claim to be correct.
It’s the most accurate approximation we have so far of how nature works, but it’s constantly trying to achieve better approximations, and will happily throw away the old ones when it finds a better one.
It also should always make very clear that it’s an approximation or a description, not an interpretation. Science should always be objective, never subjective, and interpretations are by definition subjective.
Convincing people is war. Exerting power is politics.
I think we need politics to go beyond one reality, and embrace a subjective multiverse where people can perceive what they want to perceive.
If only the idiots could just piss off to their own multiverse of idiocy and leave the rest of us alone
That’s called, Texas and also Florida we should let them secede.
I would be happy if I didn’t have to share a universe with realists, but the thing about realists is, they’re not happy to let that happen. They think there’s only one universe. They psychologically abuse our kind to try to get us back to their reality.
I have a friend named Sonic who’s an introject. He appeared in someone else’s head one day, having been assembled from thoughts about video games and comic books. He tried to get help from a psychologist with his mental health. Instead of helping him, she told him he doesn’t exist and tried to erase him. She messed him up so bad, he tried to commit suicide, tried to destroy the body he lives in and everyone else who lives in it, just to prove he could have an effect on the world, that he exists.
He’s doing a lot better now that he’s surrounded by antirealists and he isn’t seeing that psychologist anymore.
I want to be very clear here, it was my schizo meltdown, not Grail’s. And more properly, it was Sonic’s meltdown, and it probably ties into out dissociative symptoms more than whatever schizo-spectrum whatever we have going on.
TIL the multiverse instance has someone other than Grail. But, I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s perfectly in line with yall’s belief that you all are actually personalities of one dude, who might not even exist anyway.

Cool cool cool so the climate is pretty fucked and now the way people have lived for millennia will cease to be possible. But at least we were open minded about delusion.
You can invent a vaccine, but getting people to take it is a different matter entirely and not just because of politicians.
Andrew Wakefield managed to fuck up people’s attitude towards vaccines quite well without politics.
Inserting things under people’s skin just freaks people out in general. There are so many reasons.
They also have to continually convince politicians and other politically minded people to give them money, and risk having it taken away if their results are politically inconvenient.
Whether climate change is occurring, what damage it’s doing and what’s causing it are scientific questions. How to address it is a set of political questions: How do we get humanity to emit less greenhouse gases? How do we get countries on the same page? How do we make sure that the effects of these changes don’t increase global inequality?
The scientific questions have been answered very well, and are continuing to be answered in more detail all the time.
The response to the political questions has been an abject failure so far.

doesn’t harm organic tissue
Which is totally why Bayer has settled their lawsuit for several billions of dollars over claims that it causes lymphoma.
Edit: also, plants are organic tissue.
Also, the stomach’s microbiome isn’t plants…
Your stomach microbiome is plants
Which is why I spend a solid 3 hours a day facing the sun with my mouth held wide open. Gotta let my tummy plants photosynthesize somehow.
You say that as a joke but I’m pretty sure this clown is also one of the quacks who regularly talked about the “health benefits” of butthole tanning.
I once saw him (in person) give a drunken, sloppy, rambling speech to a bunch of high schoolers back in 1999. Calling him a clown is an insult to clowns.
