Roundup(R) Unredacted--Manganese and Seizures Just as it does out in nature, glyphosate, a patented antimicrobial, kills microbes it encounters in the body, blighting our microbiome. Glyphosate chelates metals, making them unavailable for their indispensable functions. In biochemical activities involving glycine, glyphosate deposes glycine. Glyphosate damages neurons. Glyphosate is metabolized into toxic byproducts.
