The levels (of glyphosate that the) French researchers found in sperm were four times higher than in the men’s blood

Eating organic produce did not have a clear impact on levels.

    Meh, this is just the free market in action. Now after decades of “collateral damage,” the market can correct itself. People will stop using the offending brand(s) because everyone needs to be an expert on literally everything or else they too can become collateral damage while the market “corrects.” It’s their own fault really.

    And in this case, customers will stop using companies and services that use RoundUp, because again, they need to know everything including what chemicals that the contractor their town hired uses in the public park. And then lobby them to switch to a (likely more expensive) alternative.

    Come on, that’s just capitalism, guys smh

      Don’t forget people use a lot of Roundup for lawns and weed control too. Few homeowners wear respirators when using the stuff and pets track it back into homes. Also glyphosate remains in the soil for years too.

        Mexico was going to ban it, but guess which nation leaves hard on them until they didn’t.

      Average consumers can’t keep up with everything, which makes this especially egregious.
