CDC study finds glyphosate, controversial ingredient found in weedkillers including popular Roundup brand, present in samples

Both the amount and prevalence of glyphosate found in human urine has been rising steadily since the 1990s when Monsanto Co. introduced genetically engineered crops designed to be sprayed directly with Roundup,published in 2017 by University of California San Diego School of Medicine researchers.

They are at odds with many researchers and the International Agency for Research on Cancer, a unit of the World Health Organization, which classified glyphosate as a probable human carcinogen in 2015. “People of all ages should be concerned, but I’m particularly concerned for children,” said Phil Landrigan, who worked for years at the CDC and the EPA and now directs the Program for Global Public Health and the Common Good at Boston College.

Nothing like it. Guaranteed.

Think we've known this for years no? Glycophosphates has been used widely in agriculture production for decades! Add C8 (Perfluorooctanoic acid - PFOA) contamination of their water source Add microplastics and heavy metals contaminated fish and voila, a very sick population.

Tough, US courts generally favor business and enterprise over, individuals, environment, health or communities.

Yet many people here in Australia are more concerned that people aren't wearing a mask

Stop peeing on the lemon tree everyone.
