In the last 20 years, scientists have documented the health consequences of Roundup and glyphosate and they’ve found that people who are sick have higher levels of glyphosate than people who are healthy.
A growing body of research shows Roundup is an endocrine disruptor, kills beneficial gut bacteria and damages DNA. The following health issues are all linked to glyphosate exposure:
A 6 year study from Tufts University School of Veterinary Medicine linked lawn chemicals to a 70% increase in the risk of lymphoma.

- Alzheimer’s Disease: glyphosate causes the same oxidative stress observed in Alzheimer patients
- Autism: researchers believe the link may be gut dysbiosis
- Birth Defects: glyphosate can block the vitamin A pathways that are crucial for normal development
- Brain Cancer: the risk of brain cancer increases with exposure
- Cancer: cancer rates are much higher in areas where Roundup is used
- Heart Disease: a disruption of biosynthesis of amino acids is linked to heart disease
- Liver Disease: even very low doses of Roundup show a disruption of liver cell function
- Reproductive Problems: glyphosate can impact sperm production and decrease testosterone levels at puberty

What are Nutraceuticals?
Part 1:
Nutraceuticals are are foods which provide healthy benefits beyond basic nutrition. A nutraceutical is demonstrated to have a physiological benefit or provide protection against chronic disease. They can provided physical and mental well being and which can reduce the risk of disease. The concept of foods that were developed specifically to promote health or reduce the risk of….
The founder and chairman of the Foundation of Innovation in Medicine, Dr. Stephen DeFelice, coined the term “Nutraceuticals” in 1989 and defined it as “food, or part of food, that provides medical or health benefits, including the prevention and treatment of disease.”
Hippocrates “Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food”
Considered to be one of the most influential figures in the history of medicine and healing, Hippocrates was ahead of his time when, around the year 400 B.C, he advised people to prevent and treat diseases first and foremost by eating a nutrient-dense diet.
Many traditional systems of healing have been practiced throughout history, including Ayurvedic Medicine as well as Traditional Chinese Medicine have taught for thousands of years that food is medicine and a healthy diet is a powerful tool for protecting one’s health. In humans nutrient deficiencies and toxicity from a poor diet have been directly linked to nearly all modern health conditions.
If we are literally what we eat its easy to understand that many of issues our dogs face are most likely directed related to what they eat in their diet. John Hopkins University reports that some 80 percent of cancer patients are believed to be malnourished, thats a huge number and very eye opening.
“When diet is wrong, medicine is of no use. When diet is correct, medicine is of no need.”—Ayurvedic proverb
