By Stephanie Seneff and Dr. Jesse Morse, Need to Know News

Dr. Stephanie Seneff spent 30+ years as a senior research scientist at MIT in computer science and AI then followed the data somewhere most scientists won’t go. She exposes the truth about glyphosate (Roundup), how it’s quietly driving the chronic disease epidemic, and why the system that’s poisoning us is the same one profiting from our sickness.

She reported that legumes tested very high for glyphosate because the chemical is sprayed on the crops to dry them out before harvest. Grains, including wheat, are also sprayed before harvest. The seeds become poisoned with this practice. Feed for livestock cows is allowed to have 10 times as much glyphosate than crops that are grown for human consumption. Glyphosate in the water supply is a problem that is being ignored.

Seneff recommended organic foods and whole foods that have not been processed. She also recommended eating fermented foods, especially sauerkraut and apple cider vinegar, as they contain acetobacter, a microbe that has an enzyme that can turn glyphosate into a nutrient source! And it clears glyphosate from the body.

Dr. Morse provided a full list of recommendations of how to rid the body of glyphosate poison.

In February 2026, a presidential executive order invoked the Defense Production Act to prioritize domestic production of glyphosate-based herbicides, citing their critical role in national food security.

In June 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court issued a ruling in the Durnell Roundup case, affirming that the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act expressly preempts state law claims based on failure-to-warn theories when the Environmental Protection Agency has made a definitive determination on product safety.

This is a short summary from an interview with Judy Cho (full interview here).

Question: Is it true that glyphosate is used at the end of farming crops to dry them faster for market?
Dr Seneff: Yes, true for both GMO & non-GMO -highest levels are showing up on NON-GMO! Tony Mitra, Canada, had government check glyphosate levels in local and imported foods [America does not test] -published book, “Poisoned Foods of North America”. Much higher levels were detected in foods from Canada and the US. In comparison, food from Europe & Mexico tested much lower in glyphosate.

Highest levels of glyphosate found in legumes
-chickpeas, garbanzo beans, hummus had extremely high levels
-grains and other crops are sprayed right before harvest!
-also wheat, oats, barley have been affected
-cookies, crackers, cereals are high in glyphosate!
-honey: virtually all honeys have high levels [organic honey levels are much lower]

“We cook with butter or organic lard. Seed oils have high levels of glyphosate.”

Seneff recommended eating fermented foods, especially sauerkraut and apple cider vinegar as they contain acetobacter, a common microbe that shows up in fermented foods. Acetobacter has an enzyme that can turn glyphosate into a nutrient source! And it clears glyphosate from the body.

Here is a more recent interview with more details and Seneff’s current topics of study:

• How glyphosate ended up in 95% of school lunches and 100% of fast food
• Why glyphosate mimics glycine and gets embedded in your proteins
• The glyphosate-autism correlation and why it’s hard to ignore
• The connection between glyphosate, gut bacteria, and the Ozempic boom
• Pre-harvest spraying of wheat, oats, and legumes — and what that means for gluten intolerance
• Why CAFO beef is a glyphosate delivery system (and what we’re doing differently)
• Glyphosate in rainwater, aquifers, and even the air you breathe
• The intentional link between Big Ag and Big Pharma. Make people sick, sell them drugs

From Dr. Jesse Morse, MD:

How To Safely Remove Glyphosate from the Body

According to peer-reviewed toxicology, environmental health, and functional-medicine literature, these are the best ways to remove glyphosate from the body.

Glyphosate (the active ingredient in Roundup) is water-soluble, primarily excreted in urine and stool, and interferes with the gut microbiome, mineral balance, mitochondrial function, and detox pathways. There is no single “antidote,” but a multi-pathway detox strategy is most effective.

1️⃣ Stop ongoing exposure (most important step)

You cannot detox effectively if exposure continues.

Highest-yield actions

Eat organic for the Dirty Dozen (grains, legumes, oats, wheat)
Avoid non-organic oats, wheat, corn, soy, sugar
Choose glyphosate-free grains (e.g., organic rice, quinoa)
Filter drinking water (reverse osmosis or high-quality carbon)
Avoid Roundup use at home (lawns, gardens)

Exposure reduction alone can lower body burden substantially.

2️⃣ Support gut elimination

Glyphosate disrupts the shikimate pathway, harming beneficial bacteria and increasing gut permeability.

Key strategies

Probiotics
- Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium species bind glyphosate
Prebiotic fiber
- Partially hydrolyzed guar gum (PHGG), inulin (if tolerated)
Fermented foods (organic only)
Heal the gut lining
- L-glutamine, zinc carnosine, collagen

➡️ Healthier gut = better fecal excretion + less reabsorption.

3️⃣ Bind and escort glyphosate out

Because glyphosate is chelating and negatively charged, binders help prevent enterohepatic recirculation.

Most useful binders

Activated charcoal (away from meds/supplements)
Bentonite or zeolite clay
Modified citrus pectin (good brand = Pectasol)
Humic / fulvic acids

Just choose one.

I’ve personally had good luck with my patients with a brand called GI Detox.

⚠️ Use binders away from nutrients and medications (2–3 hours).

4️⃣ Enhance liver & phase II detox

Glyphosate impairs cytochrome P450 enzymes and glutathione activity.

Core supports

Sulfur donors
- NAC, glycine, taurine
Glutathione (liposomal or IV in select cases)
Broccoli sprouts / Sulforaphane (there’s several good brands now)
Milk thistle (silymarin) (I use Standard Process)

➡️ Improves conjugation and urinary clearance.

5️⃣ Correct mineral depletion

Glyphosate chelates minerals, worsening fatigue and mitochondrial dysfunction.

Commonly depleted

Magnesium (I prefer MagSRT but you can choose a good Magnesium Threonate)
Zinc
Manganese
Iron (context-dependent)

When someone asks my favorite methylated multivitamin that has good levels of these in it, I choose Mitocore by Orthomolecular.

➡️ Replace minerals after binders, not before.

6️⃣ Sweat it out (adjunctive)

Glyphosate is detectable in sweat.

Best options

Infrared vs. traditional sauna (2–4x/week)
Adequate hydration + electrolytes
Post-sauna shower to prevent reabsorption

➡️ Not sufficient alone, but helpful as a multiplier.

7️⃣ Anti-inflammatory & mitochondrial support

Glyphosate increases oxidative stress and mitochondrial injury.

Helpful agents:

Omega-3s (EPA/DHA) [for these I actually prescribe for my patients]
CoQ10 [I use NativePath]
Alpha-lipoic acid [found in Mitocore by Orthomolecular as well]
Polyphenols (quercetin, resveratrol) [Either Mitocore by Orthomolecular or I personally made a product with super high-doses www.AllNaturalRelief.net ]

8️⃣ Testing (optional but useful)

Urine glyphosate (pre- and post-detox)
Organic acids test (microbiome & mitochondrial impact)
Mineral panels (RBC magnesium, zinc)

Summary: highest-yield protocol

Eliminate exposure
Heal & repopulate the gut
Use binders strategically
Support liver + glutathione
Replete minerals
Add sauna as an adjunct

Take Home Point

Glyphosate toxicity is less about acute poisoning and more about chronic microbiome damage, mineral depletion, and mitochondrial stress. Detox works best when treated as a systems problem, not a single toxin.
