To their credit, the authors did try to control for this in the analysis, but it's still something that is likely to influence their results
There are plenty of studies on each individual pesticide though, and dietary intake is virtually impossible to calculate based on questionnaires

Understood. I wasn't disrespecting your points, but wishing the studies (however they're conducted) would go deeper. Maybe glyphosate is the bane of our existence, maybe it's not.

It definitely isn't. But my point is that a study like this simply can't evaluate pesticide intake, you need regular blood tests for that

Are there? Not independent studies.Most pesticides "grandparented" by US EPA if already on the market pre 1990.Most were never toxicology trialed prior to release.AVPA never independently test but merely accept US EPA industry safety assessments.

It does depend on the pesticide, but most have been evaluated. Certainly in Australia, EU etc, haven't really checked the US
