The Harmful Effects Of Glyphosate, The Most Common Agrochemical

We’re living in an age where it’s increasingly hard to avoid exposure to toxins. Some of the most ubiquitous are right on our food, on some of the most commonly eaten items in the American diet. It’s no wonder that illnesses related to toxicity, like cancer, infertility, and neurological diseases, are on the rise. The most widely used pesticide in our food supply is glyphosate. It’s used all over the world on more than 70 different food crops, including corn, soy, and wheat and is linked to some serious health risks, including non-Hodgkin lymphoma. It’s terrifying to consider that a bowl of Cheerios has more glyphosate per serving than vitamins D and B12, both of which are added to try to boost nutritional value.

We need to change our food system if we want to change our health, and it’s issues like these that need our help. I was so happy to sit down with my good friend Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to dig into the topic of glyphosate and corruption in the agricultural industry. Bobby Kennedy serves as President of Waterkeeper Alliance, Chairman of the Board and Chief Legal Counsel for Children’s Health Defense, and of counsel to Morgan & Morgan, a nationwide personal injury practice. He was previously Chief Prosecuting Attorney for the Hudson Riverkeeper, Senior Attorney for the Natural Resources Defense Council, and a Clinical Professor and Supervising Attorney at Pace University School of Law’s Environmental Litigation Clinic.

    R.F. Kennedy will make an incredible president. He has ethics, integrity and a strong sense of morality. Thanks for this interview Dr. Hyman.

    I'm a former cropduster and will turn age 84 next week. The best thing that I've done for my health is to avoid all grain products.
  • I have immense trust in Robert Kennedy Jr. My father was a foreman for GE in Pittsfield Ma. They buried massive PCBs there and many died. My father and another man cleaned out PCB vats and the other man was overcome by fumes, fell in and died. My father got skin cancer. THen they claimed they didn't know PCBs were toxic and moved to NY state. I have total respect for him going after GE when later they polluted the Hudson. Corporations kill many people with their attitude of money over lives. They need to be held accountable. Robert Kennedy Jr has my vote for president.
  • I moved to Germany from the USA and in the first year I lost 80 pounds of fat without even trying. America's obesity epidemic = the continual poisoning of US citizens' food supply.

    I've learned more from Bobby Kennedy about science , the environment , law and the history of America since I was born than I've learned from all the other people I've ever learned from put together . I feel so enlightened each time I see him . We are blessed to have him on earth in our lifetime .
  • Years ago I lived outside Hood River, Oregon which is known for all the apple orchards. It is a relatively small town and some of the orchards butted up next to small strip malls and parking lots. One morning on my way to drop off my toddler at daycare before work I had stopped at my husband's job first which meant taking my son out of his car seat to take him in with me. The crop dusters were out that morning which wasn't unusual. What was unusual was that on this morning the pilot didn't flip off the spray as he approached the parking lot. I don't believe it was intentional, just daydreaming or something Both my son and I who were crossing that parking lot at that time got dosed. By the next morning both of us were sick and by that afternoon I had begun to miscarry at a little over 5 months along. Don't know how many of my health issues are related directly to that exposure or whether from the years of eating so many highly processed foods.
  • We must pray for his safety. Speaking truth to power is dangerous for any outspoken Kennedy. God bless you Sir for sharing such damning knowledge of what we eat. Take care gentlemen. The target's on your back.
  • I only finally came across this video 2 years later, but glad I did. RFK, Jr., you are truly a treasure and a true hero of humanity!
  • @zenkat19
    Its insane that Monsanto lost the lawsuite paid millions but Round up is still on the market and freely used.
  • RFK Jr is one of the few people whom the more I hear from, the more I am impressed by, and the more I want to hear from. I wish you well sir, for all our sakes
  • @jamiefelt942
    I’m backing you 100%!!You are the bravest person I have ever seen. You are brilliant. Godspeed to you RFK jr. I pray for you daily. Your dad and your uncle would be so proud. PS try lions mane mushrooms for your throat. It’s wonderful for nerve damage.❤️🙏🎉🎉💪😇

    Dr. Hyman, we need to hear an update from Bobby Kennedy in 2023.
  • @tvtime6558
    I can't even imagine how many autoimmune diseases have been triggered by GMOs. And pesticides.
  • @julieo4580
    I detasseled as a teenager and they sent us into the field on a rainy morning and the corn had a milky white substance on it but I just figured something from the rain. Then we all got sick that afternoon and when I got home and went to take off jeans they were stuck on my skin in places and peeled skin off. I went to Dr and had chemical burns. Some went to the er with headaches and vomiting. I was like 14. They knew the field had just been sprayed but money if we got done early. That was 1992. I can’t imagine how bad it is now.

    Robert's brilliant deduction of tyranny within the world health organizations and his indepth knowledge provided an escape from the cauldron of death by injection. He was treated as a rock star when he spoke to tens of thousands in the EU. He has saved millions of lives from the grave by standing in the fire using his profound knowledge of adverse effects of toxic medicine. GOD bless his soul.
  • He's the only Dem I would vote for and I don't agree with everything he stands for. 🎉🎉🎉 I'm glad to hear Mark has him on his side as he goes to Washington DC to fight for nutrition in America 🎉🎉🎉
  • Seeing this 2 years later. Wow, that was incredible. Bobby’s knowledge and ability to tell these stories, game changing!
  • @nndorconnetnz
    This guy warms my heart. 2 years ago this was recorded. Still stands! Edit: What was said here is still current.
