Glyphosate is the world’s most widely used weedkiller, prevalent in farming, parks, and even in over 50% of UK urine samples. In a discussion with Professor Michael Antoniou, a molecular geneticist from King’s College London, the health impacts of glyphosate and the reasons for its potential ban are highlighted.
🔬 Glyphosate works by blocking a crucial enzyme in plants and microbes. It was initially deemed safe, but mounting evidence suggests we may have underestimated its risks. Recent research links glyphosate exposure to gut microbiome disruption, liver disease, and even cancer.
🥦 Certain foods carry the highest glyphosate residues, with washing or peeling having minimal effects compared to choosing organic options. Chronic exposure to glyphosate can build up in the body, raising significant health concerns.
Professor Antoniou urges support for the PAN movement, advocating for glyphosate’s ban to protect public health and create pesticide-free towns. You can join this initiative here:
