Rising allergies like food allergies, asthma, and eczema are linked to poor gut health caused by pesticide exposure. Pesticides such as glyphosate disrupt the gut microbiome, killing beneficial bacteria (Lactobacillus, Bifidobacterium) and reducing microbial diversity. This dysbiosis weakens the gut barrier, triggers chronic inflammation, and impairs immune tolerance, making the body overreact to harmless allergens […]

How Pesticides Disrupt Gut Health and Microbiome Balance
Pesticides like glyphosate, organophosphates, and neonicotinoids, used widely in agriculture, disrupt gut health by harming the gut microbiome, the diverse bacteria in our intestines vital for digestion, immunity, and overall health. Chronic exposure through food or the environment causes dysbiosis, reducing beneficial bacteria like Bacteroidetes and Firmicutes, lowering microbial diversity, and weakening the gut barrier. […]
