Health Risks

Glyphosate doesn’t just kill weeds. New studies show it may also disrupt metabolism, alter gut bacteria, and contribute to obesity and liver disease—even at low doses.

Glyphosate-based weedkillers such as Roundup are everywhere — in honey, bread, cereals, and our bodies. With no unexposed group left, regulators can dismiss health risks as “inconclusive,” even while we’re all part of the experiment.

Glyphosate was sold as a simple weedkiller. But mounting evidence links it to autism, infertility, cancer, and ecological collapse. Is this our silent public-health emergency?

The 25th Australian Total Diet Study found glyphosate in breads, cereals, biscuits, and infant foods. Regulators say it’s “safe” at under 1% of the ADI — but from conception to breastmilk and beyond, glyphosate shadows us all.

From “even water is toxic” to “the EU approved it,” we tackle the arguments that sound scientific — but fall apart under scrutiny.

Glyphosate doesn’t “just pass through.” We fact-check popular claims about bioaccumulation, parts per billion, and the “safer than salt” myth.

Children aren’t just “small adults” — their growing bodies and brains are more vulnerable to chemicals like glyphosate. Yet regulators rarely account for this in their safety claims. From cereals and honey to school fields and waterways, glyphosate shows up where our kids live, learn, and eat. Isn’t it time precaution came before complacency?

Can one chemical affect male and female bodies differently? A new study says yes. Roundup® caused sex-specific liver damage in zebrafish, exposing a blind spot in glyphosate safety claims.

When a French cancer patient stood up to lawmakers over pesticide policy, the world took notice. New Zealand should too — before it's too late.

Colorectal cancer rates are rising in young Māori — and so is exposure to glyphosate through work. This article examines the pattern no one wants to talk about: unequal risk.
