" The bottom line is more research is needed before we can fully understand the effects of glyphosate exposure."

In other words, give us more grant money ... we need to do more research!!!

"Most of the food we eat that contains corn or soy was sprayed with glyphosate herbicide, and we’re being exposed to higher and higher levels of residue."

When Round-Up Ready crops are sprayed with glyphosates, it is done in the first couple of weeks in the plant's life -- weeds are not a problem as soon as the plant attains enough size to shade the ground. The plants are literally a few inches tall, at most. By the time a plant produces a cob of corn or a bean, a couple of months has passed. I'm seriously doubting how much "residue" is actually "in" the foods that result from the corn and beans.

Did you test it? Or are you guessing?

So they have Round-Up ready soybeans and corn? I didn’t know. They have a cotton variety that can be sprayed throughout the season.

The Roundup from that early application goes right into the soil, so I wouldn’t be too quick to dismiss it. It kills most plants on contact!
