Paraquat, a legal poison, is identified as a toxic ingredient spread across America and into our food supply. Despite being banned in over 70 countries, it is still widely used in American agriculture, with 8 to 10 million pounds used across farmland. A bill, section four fifty three, shields companies like Syngenta, the maker of Paraquat, from the consequences of poisoning Americans. One sip can kill you, and there is no antidote. Paraquat causes multi-organ failure, pulmonary fibrosis, and increases the risk of Parkinson's disease by up to six times. It has been associated with higher farmer mortality, DNA cellular death, and reproductive problems. There are over 6,354 lawsuits against Syngenta. To combat this, share this information, buy local, ask farmers about herbicide use, buy regenerative or organic, and avoid ultra-processed foods with conventional ingredients.

There's something different about the wheat and grains in Italy and Europe. An Italian pasta maker said they produce significantly less pasta in a day compared to large US producers, emphasizing quality differences. Glyphosate is more regulated in the European Union. France exemplifies this with the French paradox: despite a diet rich in saturated fats from butter, cheese, and bread, the French are often leaner than their neighbors. This suggests that saturated fats may not be as detrimental as commonly believed. The quality of food in France and certain Italian provinces likely plays a role. The quality of ingredients probably matters.

Paraquat, a legal poison, is a toxic herbicide used in American agriculture, despite being banned in over 70 countries, including China. Approximately 8 to 10 million pounds are used on crops like soybean, corn, peanuts, grapes, pistachios, and cotton. A recent bill shields companies like Syngenta, the maker of Paraquat, from poisoning consequences, even though the EPA approves it. One sip can kill, with no antidote, causing multi-organ failure, pulmonary fibrosis, and a six-times increased risk of Parkinson's disease. It's also linked to higher farmer mortality, DNA cellular death, and reproductive problems. There are over 6,354 lawsuits against Syngenta. To combat this, share this information, buy local, ask farmers about herbicide use, buy regenerative or organic, and avoid ultra-processed foods with conventional ingredients. The speaker urges viewers to vote with their wallets.

Glyphosate is described as the biggest enemy in food, with the speaker asserting it is “proven to cause and tons of evidence” and noting billions of dollars Bayer and Monsanto have paid in glyphosate damages because it is connected to a very specific form of cancer. The current battle is described as state by state, with Bayer trying to pass a bill that says if the EPA says glyphosate is safe, then damages do not have to be paid. The speaker compares this to seeking the same “nineteen eighty six vaccine immunity” but for glyphosate, arguing that glyphosate must be a top priority for the administration. Attention has been given to preservatives and food red dyes, but the speaker emphasizes that parents can choose not to feed their children certain foods, whereas glyphosate enters water systems and can drift from one field to another, affecting crops even if they are organic. It is claimed that glyphosate contaminates our food systems in ways that are very hard to prevent, even with active efforts to avoid exposure, and that it also impacts farmers. Red dye 40 and sodas are described as secondary priorities, though easier to address because the mechanisms are understood. The speaker mentions possible actions such as regulating the purchase of soda with SNAP as a straightforward policy: “regulating the use of SNAP for purchasing of soda” is presented as a reasonable and easy measure to enact. In contrast, glyphosate management is described as a much harder battle due to entrenched systems, and banning it is described as very challenging, with the EPA allegedly still protecting its use. Overall, the speaker stresses that glyphosate is a far more systemic and difficult-to-address problem than other additives, due to its environmental spread, its alleged health risks, and the political and regulatory protections surrounding its use.

Organic oats are recommended due to glyphosate use in US crops. Glyphosate is described as a class one carcinogen linked to kidney problems, brain disorders, and autism. The speaker states that glyphosate is sprayed on a lot of things and that the food supply has been ruined by harsh pesticides like glyphosate.

Monsanto found bacteria surviving Roundup in a waste dump, leading to Roundup-ready soybeans. Glyphosate in Roundup depletes nutrients in plants, weakens them, and promotes disease. Livestock eat Roundup-ready crops, leading to nutrient deficiency. FDA memos reveal GMO dangers in animal feed, with toxins bioaccumulating in animals and milk. 95% of genetic modifications aim to withstand more chemicals and drugs, altering genes in plants, animals, and humans permanently. Translation: Monsanto discovered bacteria resistant to Roundup in a waste dump, resulting in Roundup-ready soybeans. Glyphosate in Roundup depletes plant nutrients, weakens them, and promotes disease. Livestock consuming Roundup-ready crops face nutrient deficiencies.

Clayton opens by arguing that Agenda 2030, far from fading, is expanding its reach, reshaping how people live—from diet to travel to property ownership—and potentially enabling population management. He notes that the UN-led initiative, rolled out in 2015, promised poverty reduction, better health, education, equality, DEI, and a move toward a one-world framework. Critics feel Agenda 2030 has advanced globalist control rather than peace and prosperity, pointing to ideas like “you’ll own nothing” and a shift to digital systems and 15-minute cities as signs of a new control grid. Yet Clayton emphasizes that one component deserves more attention: agriculture. He says policies tied to Agenda 2030 allegedly promised safer, less chemical-intensive farming, reduced hazardous chemicals, and sustainable food production, but evidence from the FAO suggests the opposite approach is taking hold. Clayton cites FAO data: total global agricultural pesticide use in 2023 reached 3,730,000 tons of active ingredients, a 14% increase from a decade earlier, with pesticide use intensity over two pounds per acre. He notes the public assumption of a shift toward organic or safer practices, but asserts that the trend shows greater chemical dependence. He highlights a global database that found pesticide use rose about 20% over the prior decade. He questions why, despite sustainability rhetoric, agriculture appears more chemically reliant, and asks where insects have gone, recalling memories of decades past when windshields and ecosystems bore heavy insect presence. A sudden executive order is discussed as shifting protections toward Bayer and Monsanto in glyphosate production, despite glyphosate’s associations with cancer and neurodegenerative diseases. The main justification cited is protecting American manufacturing, but Clayton challenges this rationale, suggesting a conflict between public health goals and policy moves that appear to favor industry. Kim Bright, founder of Brightcore Nutrition, joins to unpack these policies further. She agrees Agenda 2030 marches forward regardless of administration and notes the confusion around current policy directions. Bright explains that farmers have become dependent on pesticides for decades to achieve high yields, which has degraded soils and reduced beneficial soil microbiota, leaving crops and ecosystems more vulnerable to pests. She argues that glyphosate and other pesticides are harmful to health, but she sees a potential silver lining in domestic manufacturing: reducing dependence on foreign glyphosate production could be a step toward reform. Bright emphasizes the broader environmental and health harms of pesticides, noting that pesticides, including chlorpyrifos, can damage DNA, cardiovascular and respiratory systems, and cognitive function. She argues that pesticides contribute to rising cancer and chronic diseases and may target vulnerable populations, including older adults. She asserts that while glyphosate is problematic, it is not necessarily the most toxic pesticide in use; chlorpyrifos, for instance, has severe health impacts and remains widely used, sometimes through regulatory back-and-forth (ban and unban). The conversation turns to the gut-brain axis and the microbiome. Bright explains that 90% of serotonin is produced in the microbiome and that the gut communicates with the brain via the vagus nerve. A healthy gut microbiome supports nutrient uptake, immune function, mood, and cognitive health; conversely, a depleted soil microbiome leads to a depleted gut microbiome, compromising health and potentially contributing to conditions like dementia. She links environmental exposure to pesticides with neurocognitive risks and argues that antibiotic overuse harms gut microbiota, necessitating mindful approaches to food sources and farming practices. They discuss kimchi as a potent dietary intervention. Bright cites studies showing kimchi degrades chlorpyrifos during fermentation (83% by day three, complete by day nine) and that kimchi’s probiotic, prebiotic, and postbiotic components offer multi-pathway gut, immune, and cognitive benefits. She claims daily kimchi consumption yields significant health improvements, including improved memory function, anti-aging effects, and cardiovascular benefits. The discussion then covers the superiority of a diverse, multi-strain microbial ecosystem over high-CFU probiotic pills. Bright notes that Kimchi One provides a convenient daily option, though the broader point remains: daily gut health supports brain health, and a healthy microbiome is central to resilience against pervasive environmental and dietary challenges. In closing, Clayton reiterates Agenda 2030’s ongoing influence and the need for personal responsibility in protecting health and soils. Bright encourages proactive steps, including dietary choices and awareness of food sources, while highlighting kimchi’s potential as part of a broader strategy to support gut health and overall well-being.

The speaker explains that glyphosate is a systemic chemical. A systemic herbicide is absorbed by the plant when glyphosate is sprayed onto the leaves, and it is translocated into the rest of the plant, meaning it goes into the plant and stays there. The speaker emphasizes that washing vegetables does not remove the glyphosate, underscoring that residue can remain in the plant even after cleaning. This point is presented as a key characteristic of glyphosate’s behavior in sprayed crops. The discussion then shifts to soil and dirt. The speaker recalls a saying from a farmer: even the soil, the bacteria in the soil, have been known to increase serotonin levels in the minds. This statement is presented as a positive connection between interacting with soil and mental well-being, suggesting that getting hands into dirt and feeling dirt can be beneficial. The speaker attributes positive outcomes to soil biodiversity and the natural state of farming, highlighting a contrast with chemical use. Throughout the message, the speaker reinforces a stance against chemical use in the food system. The closing remarks thank the audience for their support and explicitly credit the audience with helping to keep chemicals out of the food system. The overall framing ties together a concern about glyphosate’s persistence in plants with a broader appreciation for soil health and non-chemical farming practices.

Parents who eat all organic diets are showing high levels of glyphosate in urine analysis. It is unclear how glyphosate is getting into people who buy all organic at the grocery store, especially when they do not use Roundup. Glyphosate could be in the water system from tap water or baths, or in the air if they live in an area where there is a lot of spraying. It is difficult to avoid glyphosate completely through the American diet. Glyphosate is ubiquitous in the environment and in the food supply, making it hard to completely avoid.

"Americans are living six years less than our European counterparts." "USDA was created to ensure a wholesome food supply." "They're making war on the small farmer, and they're making war on public health." "you have to eat eight carrots today to get the same nutritional value that one carrot would give you a generation ago." "the carrot is then loaded with all of those chemicals with atrazine, with neonicotinoid pesticides, with glyphosate, and this entire universe of terrible terrible chemicals for which none of them have been adequately tested for safety." "Chemicals when they're approved by FDA, USDA, and EPA, the burden of proof is on the agency to prove that the chemical is dangerous." "The assumption is that all chemicals are good for you unless proven guilty."

Bayer has removed glyphosate from Roundup weed killer, and according to the speaker, this is presented as good news only to reveal a new toxic lineup being sprayed in homes and public spaces. The speaker notes that all of these ingredients are horrible, with special emphasis on Dequat dibromide, which is stated as not only banned in the European Union but also more toxic than glyphosate and capable of damaging the gut, kidneys, liver, and nervous system. Despite these warnings, the speaker asserts that this mixture is still being sprayed. The message is that the problem with Roundup isn’t that it’s fixed, but that it’s not fixed at all—the product has not been made safe; instead, it has been rebranded, swapping one toxic chemical for four others, and the public is being led to believe it is safe. In addition to the product changes, the speaker highlights a legislative development: AB 453. This bill is described as shielding pesticide companies from liability in court, even if their chemicals cause harm. The speaker asserts that this reduces accountability and results in more toxins being sprayed near families. The overall claim is that Bayer did not make Roundup safer by removing glyphosate; rather, they replaced it with a new set of toxic ingredients, and now a state bill would protect manufacturers from legal consequences related to any harm caused by these chemicals.

During the Vietnam War, the American government compelled chemical companies, including Monsanto, to create Agent Orange. The same companies then sold patented seeds to farmers, which now cover 80% of American farmland. These seeds, including corn, soybeans, alfalfa, and wheat, were created to be resistant to Roundup, also owned by Monsanto. Roundup contains glyphosate, identified as a neurotoxin. These crops are subsidized by the government and are largely used to make ultra-processed food, which makes up 60-90% of the standard American diet. The government deems this food safe for American families.

Chuck Benbrook states that American farmers are as reliant on pesticides as they were 30-40 years ago. Pesticides seem like a simple solution for farmers dealing with weeds, insects, or plant diseases and have created a profitable industry. Farmers have become overly reliant on them, and the adverse effects of pesticides on the pests themselves has become a huge problem.

Monsanto scientists discovered bacteria at a chemical waste dump that could survive Roundup herbicide. They took the gene from the bacteria and inserted it into soybeans, creating Roundup Ready soybeans. These soybeans can be sprayed with Roundup without dying, but it kills other plant biodiversity. Roundup's active ingredient, glyphosate, was patented as a chelator that deprives plants of essential minerals and harms beneficial microorganisms in the soil. Livestock in the US consume Roundup Ready crops, leading to nutrient-deficient food. The toxins in genetically modified feed can accumulate in animals and their milk, posing a risk to human health. The majority of Canadian and American crops are genetically modified or contaminated. Genetic modifications are primarily done to make plants resistant to chemicals and animals resistant to drugs, but consuming them can alter our genes permanently.

Other companies may reformulate Roundup to be safer, as Bayer has done in Europe due to EU regulations in 2017. Glyphosate-based herbicides sold in the EU are allegedly much safer than those in the US, with adequate warnings. Roundup and similar herbicides can purportedly be used and regulated more safely. A key initiative involves ending the pre-harvest spraying of herbicides on grain and bean crops, which is said to account for most dietary exposure. This practice allows farmers to harvest earlier but is barely economical. Crop insurance could cover potential losses from inclement weather, negating the need for pre-harvest spraying. Eliminating this practice could reduce glyphosate-based herbicide use by 2-3% and decrease exposure across the US population by 95%. The USDA and EPA are being urged to end these pre-harvest uses, as potential farmer losses can allegedly be covered in other ways, significantly reducing public exposure and risk.

During the Vietnam War, the American government compelled seven chemical companies, including Monsanto, to create Agent Orange. The same companies then sold patented seeds to farmers, which now cover 80% of American farmland. These seeds, including corn, soybeans, alfalfa, and wheat, were created to be resistant to Roundup, which is also owned by Monsanto. Roundup contains glyphosate, which is claimed to be a neurotoxin. These crops are subsidized by the government and are largely used to make ultra-processed food, which makes up 60-90% of the standard American diet. The speaker claims that the majority of American families are eating this food because the government deems it safe.

Our food is tainted by dangerous chemicals, making us sick. In 2011, Courtney Swan was diagnosed with a gluten intolerance, a common sensitivity among her generation. 85% of our food starts from patented seeds sold by chemical corporations, including companies responsible for Agent Orange. Since 1974, crops have been sprayed with glyphosate, and GMOs were introduced in the 90s. Companies like Bayer, formerly IG Farben, market glyphosate-based products like Roundup, claiming they're harmless. GMO crops resist glyphosate, leaving food covered in toxic residue that doesn't wash off. Glyphosate is sprayed on wheat, oats, chickpeas, almonds, and potatoes. Organic food is more expensive but avoids GMOs and glyphosate. The Environmental Working Group found glyphosate in 80-90% of wheat-based products, including Cheerios and Nature Valley bars. Glyphosate is produced and distributed from China. Bayer owns patents for soybeans, corn, canola, and sugar beets and is the largest distributor of GMO corn and soybean seeds. 80% of GMOs are engineered to withstand glyphosate, with 280 million pounds sprayed annually. Glyphosate is linked to neurological damage, endocrine disruption, reproductive harm, and fetal development issues and is classified as a carcinogen. It's found in breast milk, placentas, organs, sperm, rain, and drinking water. While GMO labeling exists, glyphosate isn't labeled. Doctor Don Huber warns glyphosate will make DDT look harmless. The US government subsidizes pesticide-sprayed crops, which are processed into unhealthy ingredients. Bayer protects its profits, funding educational programs and lobbying. Chronic illnesses are rising, and 77% of young Americans are ineligible for military service.

The speaker questions the safety of glyphosate, the key ingredient in Roundup, despite claims from Bayer that it does not cause cancer. They cite 180,000 lawsuits against Bayer, resulting in over $12 billion in damages, and Bayer's efforts to prevent future glyphosate-related cancer lawsuits. Roundup Ready crops, genetically engineered to resist glyphosate, led to a surge in its use, with approximately 60% of crops now treated with it. The speaker highlights a letter from members of Congress arguing against glyphosate overregulation, suggesting that without it, widespread hunger will occur. They point out that some signatories, like Deb Fischer and Chuck Grassley, are major recipients of funding from big agriculture and biotech companies like Bayer, DuPont, and Dow. The speaker implies that these contributions influence their support for glyphosate.

Our food is tainted by dangerous chemicals, making us sick. In 2011, Courtney Swan was diagnosed with a gluten intolerance, and told to avoid corn and soy. 85% of food starts from a patented seed sold by a chemical corporation that created Agent Orange. Corn, soy, and wheat are common allergens and heavily pesticide-sprayed crops. Since 1974, crops have been sprayed with glyphosate. IG Farben, later Bayer's parent company, provided chemicals for Nazi nerve agents. Monsanto, joined with Agent Orange production. After the wars, they marketed glyphosate (Roundup), claiming it was harmless. GMO crops resisted Roundup, leaving food covered in toxic residue that doesn't wash off. Glyphosate is sprayed on wheat, oats, chickpeas, almonds, and potatoes. Organic food cannot contain GMOs and glyphosate. The Environmental Working Group found glyphosate in 80-90% of wheat-based products. Glyphosate is produced and distributed from China. Bayer owns patented soybeans, corn, canola, and sugar beets, and is the largest GMO corn and soybean seed distributor. 80% of GMOs withstand glyphosate, with 280 million pounds sprayed annually. Glyphosate causes neurological damage, endocrine disruption, harms reproductive health and fetal development, and is classified as a carcinogen. It's found in breast milk, placentas, organs, sperm, rain, and drinking water. Since January 2022, companies must disclose bioengineered ingredients, but glyphosate isn't labeled. Glyphosate researcher Doctor Don Huber warns glyphosate will make DDT look harmless. The US government subsidizes pesticide-sprayed crops, processed into high fructose corn syrup and refined vegetable oils. Bayer protects profits over public health, funding educational programs and lobbying. Two congressmen are working with Bayer to protect them from liability. Chronic illnesses are rising, and half the population is obese.

Insects, fungal diseases, and weeds end up on our dinner plates, despite what some may claim. A study found that residents living close to pesticide-sprayed fields in California's Central Valley had a 75% increased risk of Parkinson's disease. This neurodegenerative disease raises questions about what is causing nerve damage. The Central Valley, the most heavily farmed region in the US, uses cultural chemicals like fertilizers and pesticides. Pesticides, which target insects' nervous systems, can also harm human nerves. France has recognized this link, listing Parkinson's as an occupational disease for agricultural and vineyard workers in 2012.

80% of Americans have Roundup in their urine. Roundup contains glyphosate, a powerful herbicide, and was introduced to commercial agriculture in 1974. Its use wasn't widespread until 1996, when Monsanto began selling genetically modified seeds resistant to Roundup. This allowed farmers to spray entire crop beds without harming their crops. 87% of children have glyphosate in their system. Roundup is allegedly dangerous and illegal in some countries, but making it illegal in America would impact monocrop agriculture companies.

Our food system is heavily influenced by chemical companies, leading to widespread health issues. After experiencing debilitating stomachaches, I discovered I had gluten intolerance and learned about the dangers of common allergens like corn and soy, which are heavily sprayed with glyphosate, a toxic herbicide linked to serious health problems. Glyphosate is found in many non-organic foods, and its presence is alarming, as it is classified as a carcinogen. Despite recent legislation requiring some GMO labeling, glyphosate remains unmarked on food products. The government subsidizes these pesticide-laden crops, contributing to rising chronic diseases and obesity. We must prioritize health over profits and reform our food system to ensure it nourishes rather than harms us.

Monsanto scientists discovered bacteria at a chemical waste dump that could survive Roundup herbicide. They inserted the gene responsible for this into soybeans, creating Roundup ready crops. However, Roundup kills plant biodiversity and hinders access to essential minerals, weakening plants and promoting disease. Livestock in the US consume Roundup ready crops, leading to nutrient-deficient food. The director of the Centre For Veterinary Medicine warned that toxins in genetically modified feed could accumulate in animals and their milk. Currently, 90% of Canadian and American crops are genetically modified or contaminated. Genetic modifications primarily aim to make plants resistant to chemicals and animals resistant to drugs, but consuming them can alter our genes permanently.
