Call it (pun intended) a smell test. I have cited a study that shows biomarkers of gut inflammation strongly correlated with glyphosate exposure. Perhaps you should have read it.

I have raised a flag. Lowering your exposure to a novel chemical agent that directly impacts a massive and poorly-understood symbiotic system within the body isn't a bad response. Glyphosate exposure certainly isn't beneficial, so I'll treat it like Pascal's wager: avoiding this has more upside than downside.

I obviously did look at the paper. Glyphosate isn't going anywhere, so Pascal's Wager isn't on the table.
You can absolutely avoid glyphosate in your diet. This is obviously some sort of emotional issue for you.
I don't think there's much glyphosate in any of our diets!
