Glyphosate is well studied and affects cell paths that don't exist in humans.

  Would you drink it?

    This is a pretty bad standard to judge toxicity, unless you’re diluting it to relevant dosages

    You wouldn't drink hypersaline water either, but that doesn't mean salt is bad for you.

  You may call it a weed, I call it my garden.

Its use in agriculture and gardening has been proclaimed safe because humans and other animals do not have the target enzyme 5-enolpyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate synthase (EPSPS). However, increasing numbers of studies have demonstrated risks to humans and animals because the shikimate metabolic pathway is present in many microbes. Here, we assess the potential effect of glyphosate on healthy human microbiota. Our results demonstrate that more than one-half of human microbiome are intrinsically sensitive to glyphosate.
