    There is no evidence that glyphosate has any negative health effects. It’s like MSG, just because you hear it, it doesn’t mean it true. This is what we have science for, and a good 30 years of research.

      Glyphosate is toxic to aquatic lifeforms and insects. The rapid decline in insect life and increasing damage to aquatic biomes is threatening human life even if the substance itself is not toxic to humans.

      Furthermore the studies for humans are looking at typical exposure rates with higher exposure having adverse health effects. Finally the problem with toxicity is also that a substance by itself might not be toxic enough to be causing health effects at common exposure levels. However we are exposed to thousands of such substances which in sum do become toxic, even if every single one is way below their threshold.

      There is plenty of evidence that the full chemical formulation in roundup is toxic - which is why they try to focus on the “active ingredient” glyphosate.
      Plus it’s already been linked to fatty liver disease.
