About this episode
Glyphosate, the active ingredient in Roundup and the most widely used herbicide in the US, has surged back into public debate. This episode provides the background information you need to know, including how this chemical works, what it does to soil health and the gut microbiome, and its contested link to non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
Jeff also unpacks the current legal and political landscape: the Supreme Court case that could shield Bayer-Monsanto from future cancer lawsuits, the Trump administration's executive action expanding agricultural chemical use, and what a real transition away from chemical-dependent farming might actually require.
