There is a delightful interview with Stephanie Seneff, which you should watch just to see someone demonstrate the shear joy of science.

Her website is here https://stephanieseneff.net/

She wrote this book “Toxic Legacy How the Weedkiller Glyphosate Is Destroying Our Health and the Environment”

TLDR: the long term effects of glyphosate are not great, and poorly characterized, the science we currently have widely published has lots of industrial bias (paid for, short studies, etc). Glyphosate is found on MOST PBFs in our food chain (and by extension ASFs!)

Dr (Phd) Seneff said she only eats fully organic food without pesticides

    There is definitely a variety of opinions on the risks of glyphosate. Here is a thoughtful discussion of the science, albeit from 2019 https://sciencebasedmedicine.org/update-on-glyphosate/

    Bottom line is I’d be wary of taking a single person’s opinion as gospel without looking at the entirety of the literature.

        Thanks for pointing me at Pub Med. There clearly is a lot of interest. I added some more filters to focus on recent systematic reviews, and there’s still a bit of reading. Unfortunately I’m not familiar with most of the journals publishing the reviews so the usual step of starting with a trusted journal is a bit hard. Might be time to see if Dr Novella feels like revisiting the question for another update.
