By now, you may be aware that consuming antibiotics, as a prescription or in food, can harm beneficial bacteria in your microbiome.
What fewer people are aware of is that Glyphosate, the herbicide marketed as Roundup and sprayed copiously on our food, is actually an antibiotic and specifically targets bacteria that make important neurotransmitters such as dopamine. This is one of the ways that it damages health in those who ingest it.
Avoiding glyphosate is another good reason to eat organic or through local growers who don’t use synthetic pesticides, as much as reasonably possible.
