Glyphosate-Residue Foods

Herbicide residues on some conventional crops may disrupt gut bacteria and detoxification pathways.

  • gut-disruptor
  • environmental-toxin

Glyphosate, the active ingredient in Roundup herbicide, leaves residues on some conventionally grown crops — particularly oats, wheat, and legumes. Emerging research suggests glyphosate may act as an antibiotic in the gut, disrupting beneficial bacteria and the shikimate pathway (used by gut microbes). The evidence is still developing but has led many people to choose organic versions of high-residue crops.
