It is like DDT before it, as Monsanto’s glyphosate has come to be sprayed as much, due trod the fact that it complements the genetically modified crops that can survive glyphosate, while the weeds die. Consequently so much of this chemical has penetrated the food supply, and thus into humans, that according to one study by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention program, this weedkiller, linked to cancer has been found in 80 percent of the urine samples of children and adults. Glyphosate is an active chemical in the weedkiller, Bayer’s Roundup, widely used in agriculture, including home gardens. “Bayer was subjected to pay $10.9 billion in 2020 to settle thousands of US lawsuits claiming Roundup causes cancer. At the time, Bayer had come to terms with about 75 percent of the 125,000 filed and unfiled claims. Under the agreement, the company agreed to pay $8.8 billion to $9.6 billion to resolve the litigation, including an allowance to cover unresolved claims. Bayer’s further agreed to pay $1.25 billion for future litigation.”
It makes one concerned, especially for children, how much toxic chemicals they are going to absorb over their lifetimes, however long that may be.
