Stephanie: Yes.
Elliot: And it's crazy because when I started reading your work it seemed that glyphosate was just sulphate's worst enemy in every single way! In every single way! Because there are so many ways.
Stephanie: It's truly amazing, yes. I should mention with eNOS, eNOS is a cytochrome P450 enzyme and glyphosate has been demonstrated to really suppress CYPP450 enzymes in the liver and those are also essential for bio acid formation and also for detoxing many toxic chemicals. So
glyphosate makes everything else more toxic than it would otherwise be by disrupting the CYPP enzymes. Starting with the main effect of glyphosate that Monsanto talks about is the shikimate pathway. They'd proudly say that our cells don't have that pathway and that's why glyphosate is safe. However our gut microbes do have that pathway and they use it to make the aromatic amino acids, which are three of the essential coding amino acids I mentioned earlier, tryptophan, tyrosine and phenylalanine.
Tryptophan is a precursor to serotonin and serotonin is produced in largest amounts in the gut and it's actually shipped to the brain attached to sulphate. So serotonin is produced, sulphated and shipped to the brain and I believe it's delivering sulphate to the brain. That's one of its important roles, is to deliver sulphate to the brain. So because of the deficiency in tryptophan which will be deficient in the food because the food is exposed to glyphosate, the plants will not be able to make adequate amounts of tryptophan, so we get a deficiency in our diet and then our gut microbes are supposed to make tryptophan for us as well. They can't do it because of the glyphosate. Tryptophan is deficient, therefore serotonin is deficient. And of course serotonin is also a really important neurotransmitter, precursor to melatonin. That means melatonin's deficient and melatonin delivers sulphate to the brain while you sleep. Melatonin is actually produced by the pineal gland, released when you sleep attached to sulphate.
