It's ok Kolleen. I know how you clean a couch now. I checked youtube videos and found out how you do it. I just did not understand the woman's joke (the one who made the video). She mentioned some states being more smelly and I was wondering what she was implying or what the joke was. Anyway, thanks for your answer. Being involved in the agriculture industry, I can confirm the continued use of roundup and glyphosate. At least here in Canada. ---- Glyphosate Tricks Your Body Unfortunately, in a world filled with so many environmental toxins, our delicate biological systems are constantly confronted with toxins and can easily become overwhelmed. It’s logical that if our food is filled with glyphosate and we’re constantly consuming even more… Our bodies can easily get overwhelmed trying to filter out the bad stuff to keep us in homeostasis (balance). That’s a challenge in and of itself, but glyphosate is one of the worst toxins, not only because it permeates the food we eat, remains in the earth when we grow something else, enters our water supplies, and invades our bodies… But it also mimics glycine – an important amino acid. One role of glycine is to support the Central Nervous System (CNS), and the body uses glycine to create glutathione, which is a powerful antioxidant that helps the liver detoxify. But instead of helping create glutathione, glyphosate can trick the body into absorbing it and storing it in tissues and organs. The body can mistake glyphosate for the healthy kind of glycine needed for proper detoxification. When this happens, the body is not only taking in a toxin while working to detoxify, it’s also keeping the toxin stored which creates more issues in the body. MIT researcher Stephanie Seneff said: “I see very strong correlations between the rise in a long list of debilitating autoimmune, neurological, and oncological diseases exactly in step with the rise in use of glyphosate on core crops.” https://blog.kettleandfire.com/glyphosate/ I personally limit my wheat intake to maybe some lavash (Armenian flatbread) once a week. And be aware that Canola oil is not good either … they push it as a “healthy” oil and its not. Its oil from Canada - another name for “Canola oil” is “Rapeseed oil” contains very high levels of erucic acid, a compound that in large amounts can be toxic to humans. They use the oil in the machine and chemical industries to make things like engine lubricant and biodiesel so why are they pushing this as a edible oil for humans to ingest? Canola oil has practically taken over as the food processing industry's oil of choice. Whether it's mayonnaise, chips, or salad dressings, canola oil is usually the first, second, or third ingredient on the list. Canola oil makes the membranes of the body become more rigid, which can trigger degenerative diseases in humans. Also, since canola oil molds quickly, it inhibits the function of enzymes. Canola oil is an open door for free radicals, which undermine the natural antioxidants in healthy foods and are linked to an increase of many diseases …. - Fair Use - I am aware. Canola oil, when used for cooking, degrades at relatively low temperatures and creates all kinds of nasty stuff. *Yuck* I use coconut oil or olive oil for cooking and generally try to avoid fried foods, as well. LOL! people are discussing health related stuff on this thread and I post about cleaning my couch. I feel silly now. Mods feel free to delete my posts.
In most cases, if the body absorbs a toxin, there’s a built-in filtration system to get rid of it. Most of the hard work is done by the liver, as toxins are stored in fat when the body is overloaded and cannot deal with them immediately. It’s a good system.
