The toxic herbicide glyphosate can enter the body through food or drinking water.
A new study shows that the majority of Germans have been contaminated by the compound.
(Glyphosate is used on over 80% of GMO crops. Scientists are finding it in beer, tampons, and a wide range of other products. It's everywhere. Although this study was done in Germany, it is highly likely Americans are being contaminated by this toxin handmaiden to the GMO industry - at a similarly high rate).
"A worrying three-quarters of the German population have in fact been contaminated by the controversial herbicide, according to a study carried out by the Heinrich Böll Foundation.
"The report analysed glyphosate residue in urine and it concluded that 75% of the target group displayed levels that were five times higher than the legal limit of drinking water. A third of the population even showed levels that were between ten and 42 times higher than what is normally permissible.
"Glyphosate residue was recorded in 99.6% of the 2,009 people monitored by the study. The most significant values were found in children aged from zero to nine and adolescents aged 10 to 19, particularly those individuals raised on farms..."
