Long-Term Health Risks of Glyphosate Exposure
Cancer. Some studies suggest glyphosate may be linked to cancer. Others suggest there’s no link. The International Agency for Research on Cancer categorizes glyphosate as a probable carcinogen for humans. The EPA says that glyphosate does not pose a risk to humans as long as it is used according to directions. They also stated that it is unlikely that it causes cancer in humans. A 2023 study by The University of California, Berkeley, found that glyphosate is a probable human carcinogen.

Liver and kidney damage. Glyphosate may affect your kidney and liver. Studies of humans have found possible links between glyphosate and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, metabolic syndrome, cirrhosis, and chronic kidney disease.

Endocrine and reproductive issues. The EPA says that there is no evidence that glyphosate interferes with the endocrine system or hormones in humans. A 2024 study linked glyphosate levels to infertility in men.

Digestive issues. According to a 2020 study, a majority of gut bacteria may be susceptible to glyphosate, which could affect the makeup of the human gut microbiome.
