Glyphosate and Gluten Intolerance, Possible Correlations

Glyphosate, present as a residue in foods, could be the cause of the growing spread of gluten intolerance. The hypothesis is put forward in a scientific review (Barnett et al., 2020) published in Frontiers in Microbiology.
The toxicity of the most widespread agrotoxic in the world is once again relevant in recent days, after the European Commission announced the withdrawal of the SUR (Sustainable Use and Reduction of Pesticides) proposal and the European Parliament approved the deregulation of new GMOs.

The researchers of the University of British Columbia wanted to investigate the possible correlations between the increasingly widespread exposure to glyphosate and the growing incidence of both intestinal diseases and gluten intolerance even in the absence of a diagnosis of celiac disease.
