Is this article sponsored by Monsanto??? Glyphosate exposure has also been linked to autism. It’s pretty irresponsible to be telling people it’s ok when you really don’t know that at all. Anything for a $ I guess.

Oh ok. The same government denying science and shredding the EPA. Got it.

My apologies! I shouldn’t have assumed. Very “American” of me. Regardless, the motivation remains suspect. What’s the benefit of telling people it’s ok to feed their kids any amount of roundup when we don’t actually know the long term affects of even trace amounts?

No worries. As to long term evidence, there are quite a few rodent and epidemiological studies. No suggestion in any of these that trace amounts across a lifetime would impact health - the lowest dose that is potentially related to cancer is ~30,000x higher than in most foods

If you want the detailed scientific assessment, the EPA has a very good summary sheet that I linked to, which doesn't require reading the entire 300-odd page scientific report

The US EPA. Super reliable source.

If you want a different source, the Australian and European regulators have scientific evaluations in English as well, but they are much denser and harder to read. California also did their own, but that's probably the least accessible of the bunch
