Congratulations to Dr. Jacqueline A. Barnett, a former PhD student in the Gibson Lab, for their publication of the perspective article, “Glyphosate: North America’s toxic food crops and the enduring legacy of disease,” in Frontiers in Environmental Health.
In this article, we take a closer look at glyphosate-based herbicides and ask whether current safety assessments are sufficient to capture their broader long-term impacts. Using a public and environmental health lens, we discuss how glyphosate exposure may intersect with the gut microbiome, epigenetics, cumulative exposure, biodiversity, ecological health, and environmental justice. This perspective highlights the need for more systems-based approaches when evaluating chemicals used across modern food systems.
