What the glyphosate microbiome literature actually shows
The glyphosate–microbiome argument rests on the shikimate pathway: plants and many bacteria have it, humans don't. That makes the mechanism plausible and the dose question decisive.
Where I think both sides overreach: "mechanism exists" is not "effect at environmental exposure," and "no effect at environmental exposure" is not established either. This is a genuinely open question and it is being argued as if it were closed.
