Glyphosate is the world’s most widely used weedkiller. It’s found on farms, in parks, and in over 50% of UK urine samples. Today you’re going to find out more about its impact on human health and why it should be banned, from Professor Michael Antoniou. Professor Michael Antoniou is a molecular geneticist and gene engineering expert at King’s College London, whose research explores how agricultural chemicals like glyphosate affect our bodies, our microbiome, and our long-term health. We discuss: 🌿 What glyphosate actually is and how it works by blocking a crucial enzyme in plants and microbes. ⚗️ Why it was deemed safe and why new evidence suggests we may have underestimated its risks. 🧠 The latest research linking glyphosate exposure to gut microbiome disruption, liver disease, and cancer. 🥦 Which foods carry the highest residues and whether washing, peeling, or buying organic makes a real difference. 🧬 How chronic exposure builds up in the body and what steps you can take to reduce your exposure today. Professor implores everyone to support the PAN movement to prevent glyphosate use in towns and across the UK food supply.
