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.

The National Pesticide Information Center (NPIC) is a collaboration
between Oregon State University and the United States Environmental
Protection Agency

Then, there is always the debate over the politics that control the EPA.

"In June 2005, a memo revealed that Philip Cooney, former chief of staff
for the White House Council on Environmental Quality, and former
lobbyist for the American Petroleum Institute, had personally edited
documents, summarizing government research on climate change, before
their release."

With the EPA out of the loop, you are left with
