And then it starts to create what's called superoxide.

And it will, I'm using a simple term, burn you from the inside out.

It'll just start to kill you.

And long-term exposure at lower doses gives you a two and a half times more likelihood of getting Parkinson's.

Because the neurons in your brain, the dopamine neurons that operate with a lot of oxygen, it starts to kill those because it's looking for oxygen.

We know all this data.

Like I said, they use it in laboratories to create Parkinson's, and it's still legal to be sprayed.

It's still used on hundreds of thousands of acres in Iowa alone.

So when we talk about the safety of products and whether or not our agencies are there to protect us, they are not.

They've been captured.

And I have sympathy for farmers because they're in this cycle where they're using products and they're trying to fight weeds and all of these things, and they are operating on razor-thin margins where the opportunity to try some other method of farming is almost non-existent.

And so many of these people just feel stuck with that.

Damn.

So Paraquad is one of the most

Poisonous substances.

Literally, you know, one... If you had a spoon and you just had enough to cover the tip of the spoon and you ingested it, you'd die.

And we have tremendous amounts of evidence on this.

And so when I get to glyphosate, you know, often I'll see people on X or somewhere saying, like, if you think glyphosate's bad, what about this?

What about paraquat?

I'm like, I understand that.
