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.

    The news article should report accurately. They directly linked out “global fertility rates are dropping” to a lancet article which looked only at demographics of how many children are born to different age groups. I followed that link to confirm it wasn’t about people unable to have children before commenting.

    The drop in global fertility has fuck-all to do with glyphosate.

      The article doesn’t comment on linking fertility and glyphosate in sperm either way, but it’s worth researching, if someone hasn’t studied that already.

        The paper comes as researchers look for answers to why global fertility rates are dropping, and many suspect exposure to toxic chemicals like glyphosate is a significant driver of the decline.

          It’s a statement of suspicion, not a conclusion of causality towards glyphosate specifically.
