What I think he's trying to say is that Glyphosate affects the shikimate pathway, which is a biological pathway in plants. This doesn't exist in human cells, but it does exist in our gut microbiota.

We also know now that Glyphosate is a glycine analogue and can displace glycine anywhere in protein synthesis, with unknown effects. It's also likely an endocrine disrupter.

    You're giving him far too much credit and help being cogent...

    You're saying a lot here and I'm sure it's valid and interesting but let's make this easy: If it's not food, it shouldn't go in the food supply unless the benefits to consumers outweigh costs.
