Shikimate Pathway

September 2025

Glyphosate was first marketed as a boiler cleaner. After an accidental spill, It was discovered Glyphosate was a very effective weedkiller!

Glyphosate destroys the Shlkimate pathway , responsible for creating the proteins necessary for a plants survival.

Initially it was thought, that only plants had a shikimate pathway and humans did not….however It was later discovered that humans do indeed have a shikimate pathway -within their gut micro biome

Glyphosate is known to disrupt both plant shikimate pathway & shikimate pathway in human micro biome. A leaky gut is well known to be linked to allergies, intolerances, stomach problems , inflammation and neurological issues

With the seat of immunity, the gut, this becomes an absolute priority for most of us coming into Autumn/Winter

Wouldn’t avoiding exposure to Glyphosate , wherever we can , like streets and pavements , make sense, if we truly want to protect health
