So if Glyphosate isn't a poison, will you drink a cup full?
Try reading up on Glyphosate and human gut flora then get back to me about it not being a poison lol!

When exposed to glyphosate alone, the swimming behavior of Daphnia will change, becoming slower. The effect is subtle at low doses, but “at higher concentrations, they stop [swimming] in the water,” says Roslev.
In a study in 2016, he showed that glyphosate can bind to toxic metals, resulting in a new combined compound that is transported more easily in the environment, he explains, and is also more toxic than glyphosate itself. The behavioral effect of glyphosate was much more pronounced when it acted as this “new compound.”
If altered behavior makes the animals more or less vulnerable to predation, the effects could cascade through the ecosystem as many other life forms live off Daphnia. “It will affect the food chain that they are part of,” he says, although he hasn’t yet tested this in field experiments.
Glyphosate and humans
Epidemiological studies in humans do show some weak links between glyphosate exposure and subtypes of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, which played a big role in the IARC’s decision. But an analysis last year drawing on data from the Agricultural Health Study, which included some 90,000 farmworkers and their spouses in Iowa and North Carolina over nearly two decades, showed no significant association between glyphosate and non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, nor with overall cancer risk (although it did show a weak association with acute myeloid leukemia)."
