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.

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 .

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!

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.

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

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.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is a gentleman a scholar and a hero .
Thank you especially for your stand against vaccines all these years .

[leemacintosh]

They're getting sued but none of the people running these companies are being held accountable and facing prosecution for corruption and murder. Thank heavens for all Bobby's good work, a hero of mine too, and everyone else who is fighting this injustice for the earth and humanity. Bring back Teddy Roosevelt.

[taniahummelgard]

Seeing this 2 years later. Wow, that was incredible. Bobby’s knowledge and ability to tell these stories, game changing!

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.

[yusufkajee]

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.

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

[kylie]

What a wonderful interview from two brave and honest human beings. Thank you

[daleanderson]

Thank you so much Dr Mark for having R. F. Kennedy Jr. on. He answered so many questions in a way I could wrap my head around and explain to others. I have been suspicious for a long time but didn’t know exactly where to place it.

[ritaslayden]

I am a conservative who has a grandson on the autism scale. Bobby Kennedy Jr is my hero...honorable, honest, and fighting for our health!

[teehughey]

More than two years since this interview and with his announcement for running for president, RFKJ has my vote!

[magalitxo]

RFK for president ! You have my vote Bobby, against all odds, you are the only candidate worth voting for, in my opinion.

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.
