Furthermore I urge anyone reporting on medical topics in wine to consult ACTUAL MEDICAL AUTHORITIES and not to succumb to the "wine bubble." Scientists have real research, publish in journals, and are accountable to their peers and their professions.

I'm sorry but Jamie Goode is ill informed on the safety aspects of Roundup where he says glyphosate (the active ingredient) is safe enough to drink because the human body does not have the pathway to absorb it. Jamie - please update your files...as the former editor of major health web sites (Healthcentral.com with Dr. Dean Edell and WebMD's genetics portals for consumers and physicians), it is clear that glyphosate alone does indeed affect the human gut microbiome. Please avail yourself of the peer reviewed, medical research coming from Michael Antoniou (and others) at https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Michael-Antoniou. The pathway does not affect human cells, but we are not human cells alone. A vast portion of our bodies are given over to our extensive colonies in the microbiome, and they are quite influenced by glyphosate alone. it is true that the formulated ROundup product is even more toxic. But neither glyphosate nor Roundup are "safe to drink."
