The Weedkiller In Your Body
When I saw this post from Dr. Mercola I was greatly alarmed but with hindsight how can it be any other way with the crops having been modified to such an extent that we now eat very little that hasn't had some modification. Meat appears to be the same with cattle and chickens having hormone injections. Where will it end? Back to the Good Life of a smallholding with natural fertilizer where possible!
Story at-a-glance
- Researchers tested urine levels of glyphosate and its metabolite aminomethylphosphonic acid (AMPA) among 100 people living in Southern California over a period of 23 years — from 1993 to 2016
- At the start of the study, very few of the participants had detectable levels of glyphosate in their urine but, by 2016, 70 percent of them did
- The prevalence of human exposure to glyphosate increased by 500 percent during the study period while actual levels of the chemical, in ug/ml, increased by a shocking 1,208 percent
