A review published in the Journal of Applied Toxicology examined research on glyphosate and glyphosate-based herbicides (GBHs) and reported adverse impacts on the mammalian gut microbiome, according to the review’s author, Robin Mesnage, PhD, scientific director of the Buchinger Wilhelmi Clinic in Überlingen, Germany, and a research fellow at King’s College London.
The review states that the long-standing regulatory rationale holding glyphosate to pose negligible direct risk to mammals is “inaccurate as a complete toxicological argument,” because the shikimate pathway targeted by the herbicide is present in some commensal bacteria in the mammalian gut [1].
