Calling Out Glyphosate in Commercial Dog Food

These are some of the top diseases that kill dogs. I don’t think it’s a coincidence that there’s a lot of overlap with the list of human diseases linked to glyphosate. Glyphosate is a weed killer.

Cancer: nearly half of dogs over 10 get cancer.

Kidney failure: the second killer of dogs today. Glyphosate has been linked to more than 40,000 deaths from kidney disease in farm workers in Sri Lanka and El Salvador.

Liver disease: glyphosate blocks detox so the liver, as the major detox organ, will be harmed. And if your dog’s liver’s not healthy, his overall health will suffer too.

Seizures: glyphosate affects brain function in humans and it’s the same for dogs. As well as seizures, dogs exhibit ADD-like disorders like an inability to focus or extreme anxiety.

Gastrointestinal disease: (like bloat or inflammatory bowel disease): glyphosate destroys “good” bacteria. So it’s not surprising that dogs increasingly suffer from digestive issues. It also compromises the “tight junctions” between cells in our gut – leaving the way open for leaky gut syndrome.

Dogs get exposed to glyphosate just as much as you… maybe more so. After all, they’re running around barefoot on glyphosate-contaminated soil and grass!

And unless you’re feeding your dog 100% organic food, he’s eating glyphosate in his meals.
