In this episode, I talk about how Joe Rogan recently lashed out at the agricultural scientist Kevin Folta when Kevin discussed an alternative interpretation of the scientific data that was different than the one that Joe preferred and was familiar with.

Following lockstep with Chris Kresser, an alternative health guru that has been deeply influential on Joe, Jhee has been misled to believe that all exposures to glyphosate are harmful, no matter how low the dose, and expresses anger and outrage that legitimate scientists disagree with him about this topic.

I point out that Bruce Ames more than 30 years ago wrote a very influential paper called "Dietary pesticides (99.99% all natural)" (PMID: 2217210), where Ames pointed out that many natural pesticides present in plants already constitute a much higher exposure of "carcinogens" than synthetic pesticides.

I also point out that regulatory agencies are nearly unanimous in agreeing that glyphosate is not carcinogenic, that glyphosate is much less toxic than many natural pesticides, and that the exposures to which consumers are subjected at thousands of times lower than the doses required for even mild biological effects.

In other words:

THE DOSE MAKES THE POISON.

Finally, I defend Kevin Folta and point out that he defends glyphosate not because he is paid by corporations (he isn't), but because glyphosate has made agriculture more efficient and safer and has helped feed millions of people. I point out that misinformation about glyphosate and agriculture can lead to higher food prices and less ability for farmers to feed millions of people.
