In plants, Roundup interferes with a biochemical pathway called the shikimate pathway. While this pathway is not found in humans, it is found in bacteria, such as the bacteria found in a human GI tract. In the bacteria, amino acids such as tyrosine, tryptophan, and phenylalanine are depleted...
Herbivores foraging on toxic plants may consume a variety of foods that contain different toxins to increase food intake and to avoid toxicosis. We studied whether lambs offered two foods, each containing a different toxin, could ingest more food than lambs offered one food with a single toxin....
