The Hidden Chemical Partnership: How Glyphosate and Fluoride Collide Inside the Human Body

From Michelle Perro, MD

For decades, Americans have been assured that two of the world’s most controversial chemicals are “safe in small amounts.” One is fluoride, intentionally added to public water supplies to prevent tooth decay. The other is glyphosate, the main ingredient in the herbicide Roundup®, used on everything from corn and soy to suburban lawns.

Yet almost no one has asked the most important question: what happens when these two chemicals meet?

It turns out they form a partnership that neither regulators nor the public fully understand. Once they come into contact with a common third player, aluminum, the trio can create a complex molecule that alters how the body performs some of its most fundamental biochemical tasks.

1. Two Everyday Chemicals With Hidden Interactions

Fluoride is a highly reactive halogen. The form added to drinking water (as hydrofluorosilicic acid or sodium fluoride) is industrially derived rather than mined from natural mineral sources.
Glyphosate is a synthetic amino acid derivative designed to kill plants by disrupting a pathway that humans supposedly “do not have.” But our gut microbes do depend on that pathway, and so do our mitochondria through similar enzymes.

Each chemical on its own is already contentious. But when fluoride and glyphosate interact with aluminum, something new emerges: a ternary complex that behaves like a phosphate imposter in the body. (See link for article)
