There is a delightful interview with Stephanie Seneff, which you should watch just to see someone demonstrate the shear joy of science.

https://youtu.be/C71Wu6YDadc 1 hour

Her website is here https://stephanieseneff.net/

She wrote this book "Toxic Legacy How the Weedkiller Glyphosate Is Destroying Our Health and the Environment"

TLDR: the long term effects of glyphosate are not great, and poorly characterized, the science we currently have widely published has lots of industrial bias (paid for, short studies, etc). Glyphosate is found on MOST PBFs in our food chain (and by extension ASFs!)

Dr (Phd) Seneff said she only eats fully organic food without pesticides

There is definitely a variety of opinions on the risks of glyphosate. Here is a thoughtful discussion of the science, albeit from 2019 https://sciencebasedmedicine.org/update-on-glyphosate/

Bottom line is I'd be wary of taking a single person's opinion as gospel without looking at the entirety of the literature.

She is a odd one its true, but the mechanisms seem interesting.

Mechanistic theories are a good starting point for research, not to set policy.

But just looking at pub med https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/?term=Glyphosate

The research is getting interesting, 2500 papers since 2019.

Thanks for pointing me at Pub Med. There clearly is a lot of interest. I added some more filters to focus on recent systematic reviews, and there's still a bit of reading. Unfortunately I'm not familiar with most of the journals publishing the reviews so the usual step of starting with a trusted journal is a bit hard. Might be time to see if Dr Novella feels like revisiting the question for another update.

Dr. Seneff also, in the lecture, has research on mechanistic properties of duterium in the body, and a possible link to cancer (that needs research). https://stephanieseneff.net/category/deuterium/

new field of deutenomics (the science of deuterium metabolism in the body).

deuterium is universally present in water in small amounts, and that the mitochondria (energy-producing organelles in the cells) are highly skilled in pumping protons selectively (avoiding deuterons) into the intermembrane space, to metaphorically “charge up the battery.” (Protons are positively charged hydrogen atoms and deuterons are positively charged deuterium atoms). The reason the mitochondria obsess on delivering protons rather than deuterons is because deuterons gum up the engine of the ATPase pumps in the membrane, that produce the ATP. If they get overloaded with deuterium, these pumps break, the mitochondria become inefficent at producing ATP, and they spew out toxic reactive oxygen species at high levels. This causes mitochondrial disease, which is a hallmark of many chronic neurological, metabolic and oncological diseases.

glyphosate (the active ingredient in the herbicide Roundup) and deuterium are synergistically toxic.
