No problem with glyphosate...read this:




What happens to glyphosate when it enters the body


In humans, glyphosate does not easily pass through the skin. Glyphosate taken


in through the skin or by mouth goes through the body in less than one day.


Glyphosate leaves the body in urine and feces without being changed into


another chemical.


Studies with rats showed that about one-third of a dose of glyphosate was


absorbed by the rats� intestines. Half of the dose was found in the rats�


stomachs and intestines 6 hours later, and all traces were gone within one


week.

You got to know, Roy, that this is a very crappy post. You don't

identify the study, and your source could be the Nigerian Investment

Promotion Commission.



It is widely known that Monsanto is spending money for good reviews, or

diversionary reviews. Next time, tell us who did the study, and you

might look to see who funded it.



Good luck with your studies.

Billy: National Pesticide Information Center did the study.
