The dangers of weed killers - Glyphostae aka Roundup, the hidden killer.
In article , Oz writes writes In uk.rec.gardening Oz wrote: writes Er, surely a toxin is only a toxin if our digestion can't cope with it and it poisons us. Anything we can successfully digest and either metabolise or excrete is, almost by definition, not a toxin. How very wrong can some people be? ... I don't know, care to explain? 1) Many toxins are highly biodegradeable. Cyanide, for example is broken down in a few tens of seconds. Pity you get to die first. 2) Many toxins get broken down by the gut, you just have to worry about the bit that you get to absorb before it's broken down. 3) Many toxins get excreted, often damaging the kidneys and causing kidney failure (some mushroom toxins being the best known). 4) Many toxins form the basis of vaccinations though admittedly after they've usually been deactivated. -- Malcolm |
