Description


Glyphosate is one of the most widely used herbicides in the world—but how concerned should we be about its links to cancer, hormonal disruption, or neurodegenerative disease?

In this Aliquot, I break down what the research tells us about glyphosate exposure in farming communities versus the general population, explore how it may lead to DNA damage, and share practical strategies for reducing exposure—starting with your grocery list.

This episode includes several key discussion points:
  • 00:01:40 - Are we all carrying glyphosate in our bodies?
  • 00:03:15 - Can glyphosate damage DNA or disrupt hormones?
  • 00:05:05 - Is glyphosate linked to non-Hodgkin lymphoma?
  • 00:06:55 - Is organic produce always worth it?
  • 00:08:42 - Can fruit skin thickness guide organic choices?
  • 00:13:32 - Why skipping leafy greens might do more harm than pesticides
This Aliquot features segments from a Q&A with Dr. Rhonda Patrick and a clip from her appearance on The Knowledge Project. Watch the full session and access show notes here:
