Glyphosate does not bioaccumulate so it won't magnify through the food chain.Studies in animals show that there is minimal retention of glyphosate in tissues, and that those quantities are not harmful. If glyphosate exposure occurs in humans, the body is quite capable of rapidly eliminating it.
As I said before, you eat, drink and breathe much more dangerous chemcials than those found in glyphosate every day. Yet we live longer and healthier lives today than ever before. Fear of glyphosate is intentional. There is nothing in the chemistry of this product that should cause a rational person to fear it.
Correct. If reasonable caution is use in handling it. Note: it is one of the safest chemicals in the Ag industry. Others? Headshake. I can give you examples of those. Treatment on my foundation seed this year was so bad that just the dust off the seed made my hands tingle. It had a systemic insecticide in it and smelled like acetone. I decided that we will never apply a systemic insecticide to wheat seed. We produce bulk certified seed and clean and treat the product right on our farm. Small scale local operation, the regulation and crap is killing us. Idiots run the regulatory stuff. It is a wonder the effect of that has not destroyed the industry. (note, the local inspector is a great guy, I have no problem with him. He grew up in the business.)
