Glyphosate-containing products are acutely toxic to animals, including
humans. Symptoms include eye and skin irritation, headache, nausea,
numbness, elevated blood pressure, and heart palpitations. The
surfactant used in a common glyphosate product (Roundup) is more
acutely toxic than glyphosate itself; the combination of the two is
yet more toxic.

For surfactant read detergent. Yes, you are quite correct drinking
detergent is not a good idea and will make you feel ill. Ingesting
anything with detergent in it will assist that substance in entering
cells, so that is not controversial. None of it however proves that
glyphosate is dangerous. This is crude guilt by association designed to
impress the credulous. If you are so bloody sure that glyphosate is
dangerous how about citing some scientific publications by all the
researches (sic) you imply have done lots of work on it. What
organs/tissues of the body does it target? What is the lethal dose?
remembering that water has an LD50 too. What is its mode of action, what
enzymes does it inhibit? or maybe it induces dominant postitives? You
are so bloody sure it is nasty you must have this information to hand.
Surely.
